  1. When i comb why the hairs go inside the mesh and not on the top of the mesh. What setting i have to keep so that hairs do not go inside the mesh.

Same thing here, when you watch tutorials they look perfect, when you do it, you get horrible hair.

Which kind of modifiers are used on the mesh? Did you enable ‘Use modifier stack’ for the particle system?

Ah, sorry for the previous question, found the blend file.

The problem is a combination of multiple issues:

  • The mesh normals are inverted. Do Mesh->Normals->Flip.
  • The hair are too long. The particle edit tools try to keep the hair not to intersect the mesh (which is a problem at the bird’s neck, where they can intersect the head). A size of 0.01m seems to be more appropriate.
  • The comb tools settings need to be changed. The emitter distance should be much smaller. Also you probably want to tick ‘Preserve Strand Lengths’.
