The dynamic hair I used came with a default setting and i used that.
In one case the gravity was -0.0006  and Position Force 0 . This worked well because it was a simple pony tail and didnt need to keep a style, the gravity determined where the hair goes.
However if you want to keep a hair style you need to set position force non zero or the gravity will make it all straight (I have an example with gravity -0.0006 and position 1).
Also:
-If the hair will come in contact with body parts, dont forget to set collisions on (for the body parts too).
-If you want to make quick tests, reduce the hair density. It will not look as nice in a render, but you can do more experimentaion and once the general effect is OK increase the density back

Hope this helps.
