The SMAPI log has instructions on the page; you can follow those: https://smapi.io/log/

As for the short error you posted. Thanks for posting that, and the ContentPack.
You have a few typos in there.

1.
First, SMAPI says it's an empty folder because your content and manifest files have a ".txt" extension. So, it goes down into your 'assets' folder looking for the json files, but none are there either; so it says it's an empty folder.

They need to be renamed to:

content.json
manifest.json

2.
You had some extra data, and typos in the 'content.json' file.

It should look like this when fixed:

{
   "Format": "1.28.0",
   "Changes": [
      {
         "Action": "EditImage",
         "Target": "Characters/Farmer/hairstyles2",
         "FromFile": "assets/crow_and_other_hair.png"
      },
   ]
}

Delete that duplicated part at the top; where it had 2 Format & Changes sections.

And, the "FromFile" section reads from the mod's folder. So, you don't need to put the name of the modpack there; just the subfolder, and filename you're using.
Hence, it just says; "assets/crow_and_other_hair.png" now.

3.
Lastly, rename the "crow_and_other_hair.png.png" back to "crow_and_other_hair.png"
