Is there any way for particle hair to drape over objects?

I put some hair on a human character and I want to know if there’s any way to make the hair naturally drape over and collide with the body (so it doesn’t pass through) and even collide with itself. Any help would be great.

ok, this might not help much, but as far as I know…yes. I remember seeing this a while ago…

but I’m no expert at scripts and all that…so you’ll have to find out if it’s out and whether you can import it into blender. I also know that the new feature for cutting and combing hair is also due soon. Hope this answers your question?
