Anyone know how to make/ where to find decent dynamic hair materials? Seems like every time I try the Hair node, it comes out as a "glow in the dark" type icky, radioactive lookin', totally unbelievable... dunno. Whatever it is, it don' look much like any hair I ever seen. I wouldn't mind givin' the hair room a try, but not if the end result look less real than good ol' Helmet Hair.

Try setting the Specular color to all black. That takes away some of the shine.

RDNA has some nice hair materials in their P5 free stuff section. And how you render it makes a big difference, too. At least one light should have shadows on. Also, try using a small amount of Gaussian (under Render Options) to soften the hair.
