What des linked touches on what I wanted to point out!
I have some issues with John K but this thing on hair is pretty helpful: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2010/06/c...-hair.html
The main idea is to think of the hair in tufts or sections rather than dealing with individual hairs. The rendering of the hair is pretty much just texturing, and it's always gonna look off if you don't have some idea of its form, first.
If you need reference images, try picking up some hair magazines. Yeah, they exist. If you can't find any or don't want to be seen buying them I can probably scan a few pages for you, though :v
