Whorejones's Hair tutorial for Gimp
Origanial Tutorial found here.
Open up GIMP and make a new document 128x128 and color it solid black.
Now select another color close to black, like grey. Change the brush to 19, I choose the fuzzy one. The air brush will give a nicer line.
Make a dot on one side, hold shift and click the other side. Keep clicking alternate sides until you got a straight line of a good width.
Keep th brush at 19 and select a darker color (or lighter, your choice but I'll use darker). Do the same thing as before but make a smaller line below your first one.
If you use the Gaussian Blur at 15.0 it makes it look not as solid.
Now go to Filters>Noise>Scatter RGB
