So I'm trying to recolor hair to have two different colors in specific places, but I'm having trouble with textures on most hairs. Most use the same parts of a texture but in more than one place, so when I try to recolor, I end up with problems, like the recolored parts being in the right and wrong places. Can someone help me?
(I think I saw somewhere that it's possible to edit the UV or something in blender, but quite honestly I know basically nothing about blender.)

mmm..we see if I can help you Are you trying to recolor an alpha hair or maxis match? If the answer is the second one, I recommend you try a maxis match you use the selection tools, and you should check several times if the hair was recolored from 2 parts or not recommend the hair of dogs and cats It is 2 colors so you select a part, you substitute color and you begin to recolor there are several ways still maybe this will not help you either, it will not be explained sometimes also share your package or images, if necessary  |

At first, alpha, because the styles matched more, but some I guess are maxis match? Somewhat in between alpha and mm. I'm using paint.net for recoloring, and its not working out as well as I'd hoped. (It'd be so much easier if I could directly color onto the hair, honestly).
I'm currently on my phone so I don't have a screenshot to work with now, but I might be able to take a few later and show you exactly what I'm trying to do with the hair.

okay, do it whenever you want we will help identify the problem  Here is a sample of the two recolor of an alpha:  the original is black, it has not been very good because the back is half horrible you just have to find out which part then should be the one that makes two recolor well |

your can, you need patience
imagine as if they were boots with laces
Do you think that it can be that easy?
I had to use color substitution and a very small brush with zoom

Yes.
When I try to recolor one piece of hair, it gets copied all around the rest of the hair which isn't what want.

the best is trying, look for tutorials from your graphic editor too
because you will need to know many tools
I have photoshop, gimp and that program
although I only use photoshop
I have the others in case someone has a free editor
you know how to handle paint.net very well?

Yes , I'd like to think so since I've been using it for months and it works well. When I really have to, I also use paint tool sai.
I think it might work better with maxis match hair but I can't find the right style, and I am not good with editing meshes.

well, if you're not sure yet
the best thing is that you practice without that hairstyle and concentrate on those of the game
edit parts, open it in sims4studio and if it goes wrong you try again
and so
if you realize the alpha hairstyles have more polygons, it is not plasticine
they have more definition

Yeah, I think I understand what you mean. The only problem is I have to hurry because it's a request, but I'm just having trouble. I might have hairs that will work, I just have to try them.

and also if you try the maxis match style: saikyoc4.tumblr.com/post/104076302497/sims4samusand Although it's photoshop, it's also going to be useful. Paint.net is very similar that's what happens to me when I help..that then I go crazy looking for thousands of themes, videos .. At the end I do not even remember it was the help they needed haha Now yeah, I do not bother you anymore |

Oh no, you're fine! I tried again to make the hair though but what I want to do seems... impossible. I spent several hours trying to figure it out ):
