The short answer to this, for me at least, is fire up Sasquatch, fiddle around with settings a lot, and bingo - hair!

The longer (and probably more useful) answer is that you can do either polygon hair which you then texture to look like hair (commonly found in games) or use a plug-in like Sasquatch if you really want to make it look good and flow like human hair should do. The problem with sasquatch is that it does take a bit of practice to get right plus you need to create a fair few polychains if you're using the thing in hair mode as opposed to fur mode.

There's a good deal of info on creating poly/clipmapped hair on the Menithings website (www.menithings.com) - look in the 'How' section under 'Full Tilt'.

For good hair you con use sasquatch as fallenswordman said , also for the polychain you can use a plug in called HairSpray ($Chicklin$) .
