Ingenue Vicki comes with a pose for conforming hair - and that works perfectly.
Hair props are relatively easy to fit, moving and scaling is usually enough to get a decent fit. Sometimes you'll have to magnet it to the right shape.
When you have it right, export the .obj (be sure to UNcheck "As morph target"!) and reimport. Apply the textures, parent to the character's head and save to your hair library.
A similar approach is possible with conforming hair. A couple of steps:

• do NOT conform the hair
• make sure the target figure is in zero pose
• move and scale and magnet until the hair fits
• export (don't weld identical vertices, keep group names)
• reimport
• switch to Setup room and apply the target figure (that'll make a figure out of your hair). Don't forget to rename the figure!
• switch to Pose room, apply the zero pose (Windows->Joint Editor), memorise the figure and save your new hair figure to a libray
• use Morph Manager to transfer the morphs of the original hair to your new hair
• and if you're feeling lucky, open a CR2 editor and strip out unnecessary materials, the arm and leg bones, the IK chains, and make the hip and abdomen invisible and unselectable.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
