is there any way to stop dynamic hair from draping?

If you are doing a single still picture, just don't run the simulation.
To stop hair moving completely try using the following settings :-
"Bend Resistance" 1.0
"Position Force" 1.0
"Root Stiffness" 1.0
"Root Stiffness Falloff" 0.0
on each hair group you want to lock in place.
"Position Force" alone might be enough, so you might want to experiment a little to see what value combination gives the effect your looking for.

thanks for the response, but what I really want is to stop draping at all Just run the dynamics part like in the cloth room.

Ok, I wasn't quite sure how to interpret your question.
Unfortunately there isn't any way to skip the draping frames for hair.

This is really helpful. I've just started trying to use dynamic hair in my animations, and it's great how it moves in response to figure movements, but using the default settings it just drapes down over her face like so much overcooked spaghetti.
Now I know which settings to try to tweak. I'm hoping there's a better solution than the crude method I've been using, which is to put a collision-detection-enabled, invisible cylinder around the figure's face to keep the hair out of it.
