Thank you for the promt reply.

I tried Koz's "Updo" hair (which is the style I'm looking for), but I don't remember the trick for getting his hair models to render (in Poser 5 or 7, using the standard Poser 4 render or Fidefly renfer engines) without those short horizontal "gaps" in the texture.  (I seem to recall it had someting to do with a displacement -node setting or something.)
