    I can't tell you how hard it was to find a hair video that wasn't a silent time lapse or so convoluted in methodology that it spanned 30 damn minutes. Thank you so much for making this

    4:00 when he says "hit 'S' & 'Y'" he also hits 0 on the numpad after the green axis appears. this sets everything to zero.

    These kinds of instructions are what prevented me from learning to use Blender for a long time. Nobody ever explains what they're doing, why they're doing it, or what any of it does. I've seen tutorials (text and video) that literally say something like "press A B C D then X and blah blah then press B D G Y S and then..." and I'm just like *okay but what the hell does any of that mean or even do.* Blender 2.8 added **proper** industry standard controls. That's the only reason I've been able to even learn to use Blender to the extent I have.

    @@DrFross09 iirc--it's been a while--you can probably hit z to show the object as wire frame to locate vertices to delete them while in edit mode. Wire frame can get a little confusing, so at the menu bar near the bottom of the screen, there is a button (hover over it to see the name) "Limit selection to the visible". It is in between the face select button and proportional editing button. It will make your object see through in editing mode. You should be able to see your inside vertices there. I hope this helps!

    This was very helpful and the effect is pretty reusable. You can really get some vastly different styles just by changing the base shape and taper. I'm trying to adapt this to lower poly modeling for use in video games but it's not easy. I feel like if I get a work flow going and figure out how to make the poly reduction look better it'll look better than poly constructed and be faster than trying to push polys around by hand. If anyone has any tips to make this more low-poly friendly I would appreciate it. Thank you!
