Feeling Fruity

I purchased Feeling Fruity Omni Hair Shaders, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Feeling Fruity OmniHair Shaders | Daz 3D

I select the hair surface (the model and hair are Genesis 9), applied the Prep For Omni Hair shader (I'm assuming you need to apply this first, although I'm not sure what it does and the result is no different than not using it), and then applied the color and all I get is what looks like a bathing cap for the fruity color. 

Any suggestions? surprise

    Apply it to the hair, not the cap.  Select the cap in the scene and expand it :)

    @vonHobo thanks for your support! I know exactly what has happened given you've posted a screenshot (thank you). You've applied the shader to the base geometry which with most if not all strand-based hairs, is just the skull cap. In your scene view, you need to expand the base mesh and select the main hair mesh that's parented to it, then apply the shader.

    Ok thanks, I applied it to the hair and not the base cap, but it only worked on a few Genesis 9 hair products that I've tried.

    This looks like a sponge mop when I tried it on HS Curly Vibes Hair for G9. So I don't know what I'm doing apparently. LOL

    I really do love the fruit names for the colors though to be honest, it was a selling point for me.

    That looks like it is a transpmapped hair rather than a strand based one.

    Does it only work on stand based hair? And how do I tell which hair products are strand-based? I have so many hair products.

    As noted in the product description, they're "designed for strand-based hair and the new Iray curves".

     

    Most hair using dForce Hair engine are strand-based hair.

    These threads might be useful to identify strand-based hair:
