Just add as many material slots to your multi/subobject material as you need to control all the shag parameters, the slot numbers don't have to correspond in any way to the material IDs on the model (kinda counter-intuitive, which I guess is why this quesion is asked so often).

thanks for the help but how do you get the uvw layout for the a density map if you have to set the id to ad the uvw. when I do this it causes all of the prevoius hair id layout selection to be overwrote.

You don't need to alter the material IDs in any way to apply a UVW map modifier. Apply a Mesh Select, Apply a UVW Map mod (using a fresh map channel), Add a new material onto the bottom of your head material, put your density map in the diffuse slot and set it to reference the last UVW Map mod you applied.
