Not sure if this is just a setting change question or a request for a presets product, but have you any thoughts on changes to body hair materials to make the hair look damp. whether from swimming, showering or just the person being sweaty ... for whatever reason? If doing a sequence of renders where the character's skin goes from normal to wet/sweaty due to ... action, it would be nice to be able to change  the body hair look too.

That would have to be a new product.
Maybe one of my previous products could be adjusted to look wet,
but I'm not completely sure how exactly, I would have to adjust the hair props and the material as well.

I wasn't thinking about hairs clumping and going in directions the way they actually might, just some kind of material setting giving a more wet look to the hairs. Hm - damp hair often looks darker, but my main current character has black (well, very dark brown that looks black in most light) hair, so making it darker isn't really an option. Bit of a change in reflectivity or something. I suppose I really should try to learn what all the parameters in Iray shaders do.

Maybe try a higher value on Glossy Layer Weight parameter. That would make it look more shinny.
