what is the easiest way to comb the hair nicely? i’m having a hard time controlling with curve guides and additives. 
Yeah, it’s tricky, isn’t it? The latest SVN build at graphicall.org has a more sophisticated hair particles system that does allow grooming. My machine has probs running that build for some reason (can’t render without crashing), but you could try it out, perhaps.
This thread has some examples and more info, links.
nyahhh… i have a low tech pc. thanks
You should really give it a try. The new tools makes it so much easier to be hair stylist on your 3D model
