How Did I Handle… Grooming a Human Head, XGen Simulation

The project needs a character with hair in a bundle. I'm developing a solution using XGen. If the character had long loose hair, I would be using Maya nHair because it would flow against the surface (head, ears, shoulders). The goal of this project is testing a head‑rigging system for facial expressions. These are the steps I'm following:
• XGen simulation
• Linking geometry to descriptions
• Simulating descriptions
• Applying shader
• Rendering and Compositing
