you will need to split the hair into areas, areas have different splines, and then adjust the path follow attraction to make the large spikey areas (havent got it infront of me so i cant remember the technical name for the control, its on the model hair modifier you attach to the spline.). also use the shag hair helper, it has a direction and sphere of influence that will tell the hair which dirrection you want it to go. if that makes any sense.
its a long process of lots of areas and layers.
there is a good tutorial out there, do a search coz it came up really recently.

this one shows about spliting the area up.
problem with shag hair is its so hard to learn that many people dont share how they do it.
