Hair meshing fail. Scalp disappears?

Oh. Wow. I forgot to give the link there, ahaha. xD;; Sorry about that, my fault. It's up here!
And I've been using the new, quick way with the PJSE plugin. I don't know why it's doing that either. :-\ And thanks so much, Tenshii! <3

Question: You have 2 GMDC resource files... is there a reason for that? Just curious on that part.
Also, whenever I click on the preview button for each GMDC resource, it seems to think that the parent CRES is missing. (the data essential for the bone assignments to work). I don't use Milkshape, so I can't tell you for sure which options to use in order to check and see if each part of your hair mesh has the proper skeleton assigned. BlooM will most likely be able to offer assistance with that. ;)
(And no problem. I'm just glad to help expand your meshing abilities to hair meshing. It's "fun" once you get the hang of it, though I don't have too much physical proof of my own exploits with it other than the cornrows mesh I did several months back. I do have many "test" hairs, though... hopefully I'll fix them up and share them some day, but I've been busy and lazy lately...) ;D

Well, I used the witch hat from AL as a base because it had all the correct amount of groups and the hat and everything. But I did notice that it come with 2 GMDCs, 2 GMNDs, 2, CRES, and SHPEs -- which seemed a little odd to me, but I shrugged it off. But then when I tried to link the recolor to the mesh, it wouldn't let me because it had more than one CRES and SHPE (I can't remember the exact error, but that was the gist of it), but it worked fine when I deleted them. One GMDC corresponds to the actual hair mesh and the other GMDC corresponds to the adult close-cropped hair. I'm not sure why Maxis did it that way, it seems rather redundant. Maybe that's the problem with this particular version, but I was still getting the invisible scalp when using other Maxis hairs as a base (that had the same amount of groups, that is). I think this is the sixth version of the hair I made. It's frustrating! I'll have to take another look at it in Milkshape after I'm done with my work for the night. *shakes head*
And you definitely should poke around with them some day -- I love your cornrows! ;D
Theraven:
That might be one of the problems. That hair is meant to have two meshes, so if you delete one without linking it correct afterwards, it will probably treat the other mesh as deleted (aka. disappearing scalp). If that made any sense...
You should try to use a simple mesh, that has only one set of GMDC, GMND, SHPE and CRES.
Also, sometimes (when you've messed up a file a lot), it helps to start all over again ;)
BlooM:
It is very normal that there are multiple gmnd/gmdc/shape and cres files.
With hair meshes(and accesoires)there are files for every age and gender.
Also alot hairmeshes have seperate files for the young adult male.
ill see if i can fix them ;)
