Consider the following to create a basic hair shape and style the hair:

• lengthen or shorten hair ( Hair > Scale Hair Tool)
• add more follicles or delete follicles, trim or extend hairs using the Paint Hair Tool (see Hair > Paint Hair Follicles and Paint hair follicles)
• edit hair curves by bending, smoothing, curling, and straightening ( Edit hair curves)
• use fields to style hair (see the Dynamics guide for information about field, Newton field, vortex field, and more)
• use constraints to hold hair in position, such as to the head, or in clasps, ponytails and updos ( Set up hair constraints)
• for special effects, assign a Paint Effects brush to hair ( Assign a Paint Effects brush to Hair)

To control how the hair style reacts to forces, like gravity, use the following:

• field
• hair system Dynamics attributes, such as Stiffness, Iterations, or even Turbulence for simulating blow drying hair
• follicle Dynamics Overrides attributes, such as Stiffness, Length Flex and Damp
• collisions ( Make hair collide)
• collision constraints ( Work with collision hair constraints)
