1. make a new image

2. fill with main color

3. take a soft brush and make a line or lines across in a different color
*use vertical lines to make it look like streaks

4. repeat step 3 with a smaller brush using a different color if you choose

5. filters~ noise~scatter RGB. uncheck correlated noise and independent RGB. the slide bar should be 0.50ish.



6. filters~noise~ spread. put at max for your image size


7. filters ~blur~motion blur. angle @ 90, length @ 20




8. filters ~blur~ gaussian blur @ 1


9. sharpen to your liking


~now to add some shine~

10. make a new layer

11. take a soft brush and use white to brush a line or lines across

12. filters~ blur~gaussian blur @ 20ish




13. set this layer to overlay. you can play with the opacity to control the sheen look



if you want even more shine...

14. new layer

15. take the airbrush tool with a soft brush using white and make some lines across

16. run scatter RGB with the same settings used earlier

17. run spread with the previous settings

18. run motion blur, use the same settings as before

19. set this layer to overlay

woot yer done!

taa daa!



remember that things look duller in the previewer, you might not see a shine until you use the hair in a chat window. and as i said earlier, this works good great with some, but not all hairstyles.
