Hihi Mi-scha, now... I have Auburn, a nice rich color, what many think of as red. When you think of red, are you thinking of the literal primary color red, a deep rusty auburn, or perhaps the orange that many call a carrot top red? There are so many interpretations of red, if you will give me a clue I will do my best for you :) I also plan to try a two color mat, but I am not sure how well that will turn out since the mat files adjust the color under the platinum hair... so they would adjust it for the whole part, not just one area of the part. Nikita, now mind you, this is a pulled back in the crown of the head type of hairstyle. Even with some wispy things going on, it is still pulled back in the crown. So one does not have alot of long dangly locks happening from very high up as with a style such as the Conforming Curls that comes with Poser 4. From about his ears up, the hair fits relatively flush to his head, as if gathered up, and pulled back and fastened with something. Very much like the Elves wore theirs in the Tolkien movie, and like The Scorpion King wears his in the upcoming movie, etc :)
