    Just make the path with the pen tool and stroke it with a 3 or4 pixel brush. Assuming you know how to do that, you then do layer>layer style>outer glow. Mess around with the settings.

    Do youknow how to make like curvy lines and stuff with the pen tool?

    You could always cheat and download a brush with that effect.

    some Hair brushes look a bit like that.
