Painting hair question

[onethousandmasks]

1st time painter here. I was just wondering if a different type of paint is used for painting hair. I noticed that Sideshow figures have have a slight sheen to the hair. Is that due to the paint used or are they using a gloss sealer? I tried using a glossy sealer but its way too shiny. Is there a semi gloss sealer? if so, what is the name of it or what brand is it. Thanks in advance.

Try a satin type sealer.

Model Master makes a different sealants (called acryl) and you can buy in gloss, flat or sem-gloss. You can use a mixture of the gloss and flat.
