What kind of hair are you talking about? Transmapped hair or the Poser dynamic hair? For the latter you would have to start with a skullcap and grow the hairs from there.

If this is dynamic hair, you could increase the density. If you increase it too much, the hair starts looking plastic so don't overdo it. It also helps to set the hair material to "opaque in shadow" in the material room.

I didn't know that, thanks for the tip Nanette!

If you're talking dynamic, your best bet is a high res skull cap. The higher the resolution, the better the hair looks and the better density actually works. Please note that you should not go overboard, as the higher res the skull cap, the more hair you can pack onto it. It can bog down your computer very quickly.

what is transmapped hair???

The hair you find in the poser library is modeled in a 3D modeling program. That is very different from hair done in the hair room.

oh. for doing it in the hair room. is it best to have separate hair groups on different areas of the head, because i cen tell which areas have already been covered...

It depends on the complexity of the style if you have more than one group. Different lenths, directions and densities will need different groups. you might also check out http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2798819&page=18. About 12 posts down (sorry I don't know how to link to a specific post, just the page) there is a script called hair_to_pat6a.py.txt Down load it to you scripts folder and delete the .txt from the name. It can help you style hair a little easier than the style tools in the hair room
