I'm a newbie looking to make realistic hair

:expressionless: I’ve followed the tutorials but my hair strands are too thick. I also want different spots in the hair. Can someone please help me?

ok, firstly, what tutorials did you follow and what method are you using to create the hair.

I would advise RipSting’s fiber script. Look here: https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8561

for an example and a url to it.

Or for flowing long hair you are probably better using the method from the makehuman site:

Very resource Un-intensive and looks fantastic!

It make take a little time to work out how to do but it is worth it as it can be rigged with armatures to create lots of different effects.

Thanks for replying so soon!

I followed the basic tutorials for static particles and for some reason the strands when rendered are flat and thick.

I visisted the site that alicppaey158 suggested and it seems like the route I’ll take.

Thanks again
