Does anyone know how to make really standout hair textures for hair? Like those long straight hairs for women in the final fantasy games.

Is there a way to make a brush in Photoshop to accomplish this since sometime just painting it on doesn't give me a clean look that I want.

Or if someone else has a better technique they would like to share that would be great.

Thanks all.
