Hair Rendering

I am trying to render a portrait style picture but no matter what I do the hair is too noisy. The renders on the store page for the hair look so much better and I can't tell if I'm just missing something or if I'm doing it wrong.

How are you lighting the scene? Indirect lighting can cause issues. Which hair is it?

One option is to increase the render quality setting in Render Settings' Editor tab - slightly, try 2 or 3 instead of 1. That makes iray fussier about when it counts a pixel as done - it won't necessarily help the hair directly, but it will make the rest take more steps and so give the hair a greater chance to finish adequately

I am using a direct light and the hair is Annabelle hair by Kool.

I will try the render quality but it will take a few hours to see if it helps.
