There are soo many tutorials on hair edits with gimp but I can barely find any on P.S. And I was wondering, how are u able to edit with the hair from P.S?
I have the brushes but I'm not sure what to do with it.

What I do, since I'm still learning, I get people to give me screen shots with hair, and then I follow the curves, and the stuff with that, and then once I get use to the way hair flows, I try and shape the hair on my own, on a baldy, it sometimes works, but other times it doesn't. =.= But, I'm tons better with pictures that have hair on them, so try that first!

I'm not the goddess of drawing hair, however maybe I can give you some useful cues.
As KariElizabeth said, maybe you could begin with screenies which have already hair. So you can understand the texture of the hair. When you did that, you could try baldies.
It's helpful to use a reference picture, so you can see how the hair flows, where the dark colours have to be and where the light colours have to be, which parts you have to highlight etc.
Start with a base, which you drawed with just a normal brush (size doesn't matter, just the one which is very easy to work with for you). So when you did that, you already know how you want the hair to be. Now all you have to do is making the texture, with different colours.

I just remembered, maybe you have hair brushes which someone made. With a shape etc. like this.
Then you can use different colours too, on different layers. Play with the opacity of the layers.
