After coming closer to work on animations, I tried some transmapped hairprops. But i'm not happy with the look. Also hair in animations should move.

So I experimented a little with dynamic hair. Finaly found a simple solution to enhance the appearance, while waiting for e-on to fix it. Simply set the global transparency of the hair-material(s) to 86%. The results can be seen here:
