Quote - I've tried the hair room, someone on the forums even tried, but it's apparently incredibly difficult to create straight, shoulder length, centre parted hair that looks even slightly convincing.

How are you defining "shoulder length"? There are some older hair props by Adorana that are actually pretty good (admittedly, I do modifications to them, but she's done the hard stuff: styling). While they may not have been made for your figure, that is a very minor issue. I use older dynamic hair on modern figures all the time—just needs a couple minutes of scaling and translating.
