Looking for Maxis-Match hair recommendations

Doesn't have to be exactly Maxis textured so long as it's not super shiny and out of place. I do have a couple restrictions:

-no long flowy hair. Doesn't look right to me without hair physics and I find it causes clipping more often than not.
-nothing clumpy or puffy. I find this way too often in CC hairs in this game, they have bits that clump or stick out (not including things like ponytails ofc, they're meant to stick out), or the hairs themselves being twice as wide as the sims' head. I want hairs to mostly be flat and for the base mesh to be close to the head and face like EAs hairs.

For an example of a mesh and texture I think looks good and works well combined with maxis elements, here's one I got from Anubis I really like:

The main part of the hair sticks close to the sims head and the space buns are clean and not chunky.
  • Buckley has two sets of hairs which are EA hairs which have been de-accessorized which you might like.

    Hi there, you're actually in the wrong thread.This section is for Sims 3 and looks like you're playing the sims 4.
    You'd get better results asking here

    The EA control ones are incredible and just what I'm looking for! May have to clean out my current folder before I install these though, as I ended up with a lot of hair CC I didn't actually like in game from my last CC shopping trip. screenshots can be deceiving especially when hyper edited!

    Just got those. They're ace. Thanks though!

    @InfraGreen unfortunately after trying to download those, I noticed there was a lot of intrusive adfly ads that i had to enable notifications on to continue, so I chose not to bother :(
  • Hi Magnezone, Pocket is doing Maxis-Match texture edits of various cc hairs in their tumblr page here: https://pocketfulofdownloads.tumblr.com/
    I got a lot of content from here and I'm very very happy with most.
