I'm struggling with making a realistic hair material with Maxwell Render.
when i render it, always like a sea weed or something.
I really wanna make hair with shave and a hiarcut(plugin).
somebody helps me?

Try a plastic like material, with anisotropy set to max.
Or even try a 3 bsdf material. Two of them like a normal plastic mat, and a third bsdf, with roughness set at about 20-30 to also get some secondary wider and rougher reflections. Weight each layer according to the look you want.

Thanks Mihai
but I tried to render in the way to set up the material below.
mannequin hair:
i made a studio and put the mannequin and the one emmiter in it.
when I rendered, rendered hair is like solid and sea weed.

Here are my tests and the hair models I used. You can get all of them for Poser as .objs freely from the web.

I can upload the final hair material, if you would find it useful. You then can add your own maps to. Not able to redistrubute the hair maps.

Tim, thank you for a nice material and experiments
but when I use it in a completely closed space like a studio, and put a single light in front of the mannequin without no physical light, there is a seaweed hair phenomena again.
I thought that the cause of it is, material so i tried to adjust many times but i didn't get it.
How can I overcome this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried tweaking the clip maps? Perhaps the clip map area is not 100% white & 100% black. Especially the edges of the hair on the colour map.
I find a really easy way to double check the clip map, is to make a new one from the colour map.
Load the colour map into Photoshop, select all and >Image>Adjustments>Threshold. This will give you an exact black and white version, with tweaks on the slider, which you can save as the new clipmap.
Can you post a render if this is not the case?
