Hair in 2.8 with Eevee is unusable

I’m quite new to blender, but even so, it doesn’t seem like anything I do, or any settings I tweak will fix the craziness of hair using eevee. Hair strands don’t show up either correctly or a at all in the viewport, and adjusting seemly unrelated settings like ‘Color’ in the display settings will affect it. Is anyone else having these kind of issues?

For contrast, here is Cycles:

i meet the same problem, so i deem the problem will be remove in future, keep patience.

In today’s build of 2.8 (January 06, 01:04:54 - 4b7596ec914e) I can get hair to render in both Cycles & EEVEE, but the EEVEE render isn’t near as good even compensating for lighting energy vs strength. Maybe it’s betaness, maybe I don’t have the right options clicked for good particle hair in an EEVEE render – blendfile download here if anyone wants to take a look.
