Oh, dear god, don't EVEN go there!!!  Even people who've been doing this stuff for years are reluctant to tackle hair.

Start off with something simple, go through the book, work your way up.  It's just like an infant learning to walk... first he has to learn to crawl, then he has to learn to toddle, then he has to learn to walk.  Or like a child in school-- before he starts reading Shakespeare, he first has to learn his A-B-Cs.

Yes, one step at a time.  It takes time to learn and master them.  The major obstacle is the thing you want to make is already in the market even for free, there is no value to spend days/months to make it yourself.  Just like you will not learn programming for just making something like Blender.  Think of what you want to achieve first.
