Hey there, So funny the books you can buy on line. How cool that you found one of those books. They are very hard to come by these days. Yes sectioning is very helpful. 3d hair is this case might be more akin to assembling a wig. With wigs the focus is really on the top layer and the hairline. Anything underneath and invisible might be better off ignored if possible. I know the thought of "front only" hardoos isn't appealing but it can easily shave 10 minutes off your render time. If you do want to section, remember to stagger the sections like bricks to that each section helps conceal the parts and sectioning below or behind it. When we cut hair, our sections are like a grid, but for styling, our sections are staggered. Anton Something else to keep in mind is that hairdressing is akin to dressmaking where geomtric shapes are connected but applied to a fluid medium like cloth. Perhaps the Cloth Room is a better place to be looking at doing hair if you want something like Kosaburo's
