Not sure how much Dynamic hair you've done Randy, but let me just share a comparison shot I've just completed. Ignore the lousy lighting, I just loaded one of posers default IBL sets. The base figures are all low rez James. The one on your left is the default follicle set distributed for James. The middle James I spawned a scalp prop from Low Rez James and the one on the right is a prop spawned from High rez James with the poly count doubled. Which hair would you use?

The thing is, the lower the poly count on the prop, the lower the follicle count you'll get and to correct the bare spots you'll have to up the haircount via the dials exponentially as well as increase the rootsize to a point where it becomes unusable in renders. At least with the prop spawned from Low Rez James, you'll only have to double or triple the hair count and not have to raise the root width to an un renderable point to cover the bald spots.

I don't know who you know who's making 20 poly hair props, but I'd like to know their secret.
