+# Select a portion of your hair mesh. Go up to Object Mode and change to Vertex Paint mode. Make sure your shading is set to Viewport Shading.
+# Set your color to black, then open Paint > Set Vertex Colors. This will change the entire mesh vertex color to black, which is equivalent to no highlight.
+# Now set your color to hex #0080FF or so (a slightly greenish blue). This is the color we will be using to paint our highlights.
+# Paint the blue color roughly where you want the highlights to be.
+# Use the Blur tool to blur out the highlights as much as possible.
+# Go to Paint > Dirty Vertex Colors. This will smooth the color out a little more and reduce its intensity.
+# Repeat for all portions of your hair.
+# Export and load into game. You should now have working highlights on your hair. Feel free to go back into Blender and adjust if necessary.<gallery mode="traditional">
