Strands of black or colored hair so realistic, you might not even know it's fake.
image 1 1. Create a new document and fill the background with black.
image 2 2. Use the Add Noise filter (Filter> Noise> Add Noise) to apply these settings:

Amount: 10%
Distribution: Gaussian
Monochromatic: Checked

image 3 3. Add a Motion Blur filter (Filter> Blur> Motion Blur) with these settings:

Angle: 45º
Distance: 40 pixels

image 4 4. Increase the contrast by applying an Auto Levels (Ctrl+Shift+L).
image 5 5. Distort the image using the Wave filter (Filter> Distort> Wave) with these settings:

image 6 6. Duplicate the layer (Ctrl+J).
image 7 7. Increase the width and height to 200% using the Transform tool (Ctrl+T).
image 8 8. Change the blending mode of the top layer to Multiply.
image 9 9. Create a new layer as the top layer and add a Clouds filter (Filter> Render> Clouds).
image 10 10. Change the blending mode of the top layer to Overlay.
image 11 11. Create a new Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer (Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Brightness/Contrast) and tweak the settings so that the hair is more visible.
image 12 12. If you want to change the color of the hair, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Hue/Saturation). Checkmark colorize and adjust the hue and saturation. These are the settings I used:

Hue: 41
Saturation: 60
Lightness: 0

image 13 13. Crop the image to remove the artifacts caused by the Wave filter.
