Dynamic Grooming
If you want to make a faster workflow to groom your particle hair inside Blender.
This addon enables you to Style hair particles using dynamics, using default blender comb tools from a pie menu and since version 0.6 Beta7, style the hair using shapekeys
With the shapekey you can create animation, making the process to animate faster, because you won't have to keep tweaking the dynamics to reach a specific result, now you can sculpt the results for a specific frame.
Besides the shapekey option, you have most of hair particle options inside a panel, organized for better control and faster setup
