@ Karen - :lol:

Here's an example.  I'm still messing with the idea so I'm sure it can be improved on.

No trick to the Material Room setup, btw.  Just turn OFF the standard Specular and plug Blinn into the Alternate_Specular node.  The Specular_Color on the BLinn was set to a light brown but you can set it to anything you like.  White gives a super glossy look but with the wrong lighting, can make the hair look too grey and washed out.

Values on the node I used are:

Eccentricity - 0.5
SpecularRollOff - 0.25
Reflectivity - 1.0

Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
