For progressive refinement you can set the render to continue indefinitely and cancel when happy. - for example set pixel samples to 9999. Its worth exploring the presets and using progressive refinement + high sample count to see the impact the preset has on quality and time.

Do you render that way? Seems to take longer to render the whole image all at once instead of breaking it up into tiles.

I have a very iterative approach so being able to see the overall look quickly and then cancelling if unhappy is useful. In this case I think its a useful way to getting a feeling how long renders take to converge although the hair may negate the process.
