As of Blender 2.58 and up, I can’t seem to find current information on the hair system. Specifically, after I create the hair via particles, what next steps can be taken. For example, I would like to use a grayscale image texture to control some of the properties of hair, such as density. If anyone could give me some insight into this part of Blender 2.5x or 2.6x, or direct me to where I can learn more, I would be grateful.
Thank you for your time.
Add a particle system set to hair, then in the texture tab set to a particle texture and you can then set the texture to influence a number of particle parameteres
Sweet, thanks. 
Didn’t know you could add control over the hair through texture. Gonna experiment more with this.
The length setting was a bit weird though, once you add a higher value the hair disappears…
