A small disclaimer! I am not the best at baby hair but hopefully this will help you create a base in which you can expand on. With that being said, I'm going to show you the way I have done it. The baby hair I use on my creations is a little different looking to this one as I spent much more time on it. Your results will come down to your person preference as well how much time you're willing to put into it. For the purpose of this tutorial I will be using THIS hair mesh by OccultBaby
First I started out with a black canvas of 256x256. On a new layer, using the rectangle select tool, I created a small rectangle and filled it white. Deselect and click on Filters>Distort>Shift and change the settings to the image below.
Next Filters>Blur>Motion Blur. Change the angle to 90 and the length to 22. Right now you have created a section of the hair.
The next step can take a few tries, it definitely took me a few goes before I got it right. Click Filters>Distorts>I-Warp.
Drag your mouse slightly above the image in the direction you wish to make the hairs. Once you have the desired effect click OK. Move this Layer to the top of the canvas, and position to the edge.
Then you want to duplicate the layer and flip horizontally. Layer>Transform>Flip Horizontally. Position on the other side of the canvas.
Duplicate this layer again and move down to the middle. We will cutting a small section out to make the middle part. Using the Free select tool cut a small section out
Position this piece so it slightly over laps the hairs facing the opposite way. Duplicate this layer and flip it horizontally and repeat the same positioning process facing the opposite way.
Duplicate this layer again and position over the center to cover the last remaining section. I rotated mine slightly and erased the overlapping areas so I am left with just a few strands in the center.
On a new layer, fill the canvas with white leaving the strands exposed. From here you can add it into the previewer and you're all done.
Sometimes you may need to adjust the height of the strands, moving the image up or down a little depending on the mesh you're using. This is just a basic tutorial for you, from here you may wish to elaborate more, making strands longer or adding curls or designs.
P.S. I have included pictures in good faith to help you on your creating journey. Please do not steal my textures, creating your own is much more satisfying. Stealing my texture will result in a DMCA complaint lodged against you and I would hate for it to come to that.
