Over the last couple of days after completing the map for my face and tweaking till i was almost happy with it i decided to start on the hair.
The mapping side of things was relativly easy and just involved taking the image from the UVW unmapping and using that as a template in photoshop. I then used my original photos and cut parts from them to make up the map. One i had the templated covered with skin, hair and other features i used the clone and patch tools to cover and areas that looked out of place, for example lines that appeared between two different sections. After this i took it into max and applied it to my head.
Next was the hair. I used the hair and fur modifier for this and after numerous attempts to cut the hair to the right sections of my head and comb it down i found nothing i was doing was working. I had previously found a video tutorial online for this type of thing so watched that through again this helped alot and also i remembered a few of Abby's comments about the hair from when she made hers. Thank you to Abby for that. After a serious of trial and errors i eventually got it looking almost decent. Due to the lack of time left this will have to do. Images to follow.

Hope you didn't find the hair too frustrating. I so don't agree that longer hair is easier anymore, as it clashes with everything so easily.
I'll look forward to seeing the images : )
