the bad news: no such product around. The reason is that the usual transparency mapping / texturing techniques for conforming hair don't do well on really short hair (<2cm), while displacement mapping stops showing believable quality at lengths over say 2mm.

the good news: I'm doing a tutorial on this, including trimmed hair with shaving patterns, scheduled for end of this month. I let you know.

In the meantime, just experiment in Hair Room. You don't need any dynamics, just

• select part of the scull for hair growth (New+Edit), then Grow Guide Hairs
• set hair length to 5mm or so. Poser Units are your own settings, mine are meters so 5mm = 0.005. Inches make say 0.2
• variance and Pull are 0.0 as hair is trimmed and stand right out anyway
• hair thickness (panel 3) is 1 to tip as well as root,
• clump and kink can be zeroed out, and 4 verts per hair is good enough
• you'll need about 400,000 hairs I guess for this, your render will tell.

Then manage the coloring in Material Room. Shaving patters can be plugged into the Transparency channel, color patterns can be pluged in the already presented (default blonde) color setting.

Tip: publish your intermediate results right here, I'm happy to talk you through.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
