How To: Sparkle Hair Texture

In this tutorial the most important part is the noise layer. The noise will make the sparkles.

I will be using this texture from "Hair Texture Pack 1" in my 2009-2011 freebie set. Download link in the first post.
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) 13

Step 1.)
Create a new transparent 256x256 image. Fill it with black or grey.
*The darker the grey the more the sparkles stick out. The lighter the grey the more they will blend in with the texture.

Step 2.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step11
Add noise. The more noise you add the more sparkles will show on the hair.

Step 3.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step22
Greyscale the noise. If you do not use grey scale the sparkles will show up as rainbow dots. If you want rainbow dots then do not greyscale.

Step 4.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step33
Open the hair texture you want to add the sparkles to. A flat hair texture is easiest but layered will also work.

Step 5.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step44
Copy the greyscale noise and add it to the hair texture as a new layer. Make sure to rename the layers so you know which layer is the hair texture and which layer is the noise.

Step 6.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step55
Duplicated the hair layer and place it above the noise layer. Turn it off for now until we need it.

Step 7.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step66
Set the noise layer to "Dodge" and set the transparency to 35%.
By now you should be seeing the "sparkles". Sharpen the noise layer to make the sparkles stand out more. Different layer settings work with different textures so you do not have to use dodge.

Step 8.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step77
Turn the other hair layer back on. Give it a color you like. In this example I chose pink.

Step 9.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Hs_step88
Set the second hair layer (the one you just colored) to "Lighten". You now have your sparkle hair texture.

Feel free to play with it. Duplicate different layers and play with the layer settings for the noise. The noise effect will be different for different textures. This tutorial is to show you how to use the noise to create the effect. You can use this to also make sparkly nails or add sparkles to shoes. The sharper the sparkles are the more of a "bling" effect they will have when on a product. Don't be afraid to duplicate the noise layer or have very little noise on the grey texture.

Here are some examples I made:

How To: Add Tips To Your Hair Texture.

In this tutorial you will learn a very quick and simple way to add tips to your hair textures.

Texture I will use:
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) 5

Step 1.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step1
Choose the hair texture you would like to add the tip to. Flat textures are easiest but layered will also be fine.


Step 2.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step2
Create a new layer and name it "colored tip". Choose a shade of grey and fill in the new layer.


Step 3.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step3
Select the eraser tool. Erase the grey until it is about the size you want for your tip. In this example I erased about 2/3 of the grey layer.


Step 4.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step4
Change the eraser tools shape to circle and resize it to 4. Use the eraser tool to create lines in the grey layer.
Only go half way unless you what spaces between the tips.


Step 5.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step5
Repeat step 4. Use different sized circles. The smaller the circle and the more lines you erase in the the grey the thicker the tip will look.
*This also works when drawing hair textures.

Step 6.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step6
When you are done drawing the tips you will them motion blur them. Make sure the angle is vertical and not side to side.
The intensity of the motion blur is to your own preference.

Step 7.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step7
End result of motion blurring the grey layer. You now have your tip. We made it grey so it is easy to recolor.
The lighter the grey the lighter the color will be when you recolor it.

Step 8.)
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Tiptutorial_step8
Here I will use "gamma correction" to make the tip black. I am now done making my hair texture tip.

Finished Product:
Tutorials, Tips, and Freebies. Update!: FREE Halloween Icons~ (8/4) / Christmas Icons~ (10/30) Fhtp_5_tiptutorial_finished_katiekx
*This texture is a freebie from my "2009-early 2011" freebie texture pack. Download in the first post.
*All rules apply to this texture.

Feel free to play with the eraser size and shape when making the lines.
Make your tip unique! Also try using layer settings like "burn" and "color" or "hue".
Layer settings like "hue" and "color" are very important when you are making colorful tips.
The tips will look like they are really part of the texture when using layer settings.
