So, I had to give it a try.

I'm informed by my top ten google results that the average brunette has appoximately 110000 hairs on their head. This is the first time that I personally have been able to get a render out with that kind of hair density.

Hair density 103079

Tip & Root widths 0.15

Render time 2 hours 39 seconds.

 

I used a hair piece (RDNA Colms 70's tacky perm) that had a single group for ease of adjustment. It's a little rough in places but I'm amazed it came out at all. I lowered my IDL render settings out of fear but I think it would still have rendered at the higher rate, only slower (might try that overnight).

 

So here it is, a dynamic hair render with an accurate(ish) strand density. Rock on PP2012!
