I tried the custom curves then paint effects, but I kept getting "Donald Trump" looking sparcness to it as most of it seemed to end up in the head even though it was set to follow the curves etc.

I ended up doing it this way as I was after making a pony tial and bu styling it using a few curves lofted into a surface and then adding the control curves and the hair system, I can just adjust the nurbs cap that then updates the curves (through the construction history).

The main problem with this method is that you have to have a bloody lot of curves as hair uses a clump system where it makes the curve into a follicle and then makes a clump of hair round that, so it ends up a balance between the curves and the hair clump width, its turned out looking pretty good, at the expense of render times of course!
