snickers Advent Children is the only version of Sephiroth that I'm familiar with (not really a FF fan, but my brother gave me the Advent Children dvd, which I enjoy (music is fantastic)) But I think I know which image you're talking about; insanely raised bangs and a huge part between the bangs which really looks like he is going bald.

I don't know much about how to make hair, but I do know what I find easiest to work with. You're right, the dynamic hair does seem heaps easier to work with.

I was thinking perhaps the dynamic cloth hair would be the way to go, because I've found I've more luck with making them cooperate with the wind-blown effect, but I don't know how difficult the dynamic cloth's are to design; easy to use might equate to a b**ch to make.
