Carodan's tip is very important. Remove all transparancy and translucency from the hair shaders. You will never get any balance between the lights, the skin and the highlights in the hair with it on. I've struggled with that for a long time and am grateful for the tip.

This model started with Kate Hair (included with poser) but I delete the duplicate groups and only work with two, Left and Right. The default setting for Position Strength is .84 and in my opinion that is too limp. I increase it to .95 or so.
