adding sss to transmapped hair still shows the painted highlights, you can clearly see that in your image eric,the idea is to remove that burned on shine that is present,which is what ive done,one question though, with sss added to your hair is there a significant hit in render time, as my hair shader with sss takes alot longer(none of the pictures ive shown have sss on the hair).

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.
