Changing Hair?

Hello.Does anybody know of a way to make hair/fur grow or shed during an animation. For example, if I wanted to do a transformation from a werewolf/animal/furry to a human/reptile or vice versa, is there currently any way to cause the hair system to grow or shed in patches to achieve that kind of effect, or is it currently out of Blender’s reach?Note: I am a “noob”.

I am a noob myself, but since almost every parameter in blender is animatable, you might want to try keyframing them. What i mean : try going to the hair physics tab and keyframing the single parameters as for example hair length. Not sure if this will work but maybe its qorth a try ^^
Good luck!
