Definitely play with damping values for the dynamics, Operaguy. Poser has a few options for that, and it's the same principle as dynamic cloth. Without the damping forces, the hair appears too jumpy and restless, just like with dynamic cloth. Higher values should cause the dynamic strands to come to a rested state faster. Also, you'll want to experiment with bend resistance, root stiffness, and position force to keep the shape of the hair.

All these examples so far are looking good. I think the 3dsmax renders look the most realistic so far, but the Maya ones seem to have the fastest rendertime.
