(Solved) how do I get my custom hair mesh to replace the default one?

[Duditsfireguy]

I edit the .mesh in blender and overrwrite the original in a mod folder. but it doesn't show up ingame the default hairstyle is still shown. I know the mod is working correctly because other assets are showing up. Also how do I edit the .dds files to reflect the changes I've made to the hair or is there a way to create new dds files based off the hair i've created? Edit:for those wondering you’ll need to open the uv editing tab in blender

When I opened it for the first time, it gave an error, I turned the steam off and on, I entered, the character's hair looked messy, and finally I will format it and load it again.
