Well if your going to rig her, the arms should be pointing out. That will make rigging the arms and hands alot easier.

Yeah, for rigging I usually have the arms down at a 45 degree angle or so as opposed to straight out.

Unless you're doing Lara Croft or something who's doing a lot of climbing and stuff with her arms up over her head, there's not a lot of point to rigging with the arms up like that.

I got a big problem, I have not done hair before at all.
Is it possible to get nice and realistic hair with the plugin or is it better to texture it?

this is what I got, going to remove it all :headbang:
