Many Thanks for an excellent tutorial series. I've tried the hair room a couple of times after watching various tutorials from the likes of cripeman, Phil Wilks, etc. Those videos gave me the basic operating procedures but didn't really explain the settings in any depth. I found myself just plugging settings everywhere hoping for some ureka moment (or maybe dumb luck) to get something reasonable, Of course, I totally failed in a very consistent way!

Finally, your complete workflow and simple explanation of the interaction between settings gives a clarity to the Hair room, you have removed the whole mystique for me. I really do hope to see a little more on complex styling if you can find the time. Thanks once again

Thanks for the really nice words Dave!  I sincerely appreciate it, and I actually just finished my 2nd tutorial with the (slightly) more complex hair style.  This second tutorial came out a little rougher than I would have liked, I made a few mistakes while building the hair purely by being a little boneheaded or not paying full attention, but they were fairly easily corrected, and I guess mistakes and corrections are useful info too, if for no other reason than it shows how forgiving the tools in the hair room really are.  I'll be posting them soon.
