Another what hair is this question

Wonderland

What is the hair in the main promos for https://www.daz3d.com/chb-genevieve-for-genesis-9 and https://www.daz3d.com/mso-mako-for-genesis-9-feminine ? Both artists list the products used except this hair. I almost feel like I might own this hair, it looks really familiar but I can't find it anywhere.

XYZ Tang hair. It was in the store for a day or two before it was pulled.

Wonderland

Oh thanks! I do own it! Yay! I wonder why it was pulled?

Because the same mesh is sold here https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/y9a02/xgen-hair-x, and that caused discussion on these forums.

Wonderland

Wow, I got it here on sale for $7.60. Glad I jumped on it before it was gone. They have some other nice hairs on Art Station but too expensive at full price. I wish they'd move them here!

Seems dumb to remove it, unless it wasn't the same artist. People are willing to pay for conversions.

Frequent removals make an artist seem unreliable and cost sales beyond the removed items, too. I entirely stopped buying from XYZ after the removal of Xia and Short Bob hairs. Happened with Censored, too, after a spate of disappearing shader products.
