I think the work flow is the same for that as nhair.
You create the hair, style it. Make head a collison object then run simulation (this alows the hair to settle in place alittle) then set start pose.
But I am just about to look into shave and haircut myself after some god resaults from nhair on my challenage project here https://simplymaya.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40041
