How to Render Hair in Fillament?

My very ancient computer and I are loving Filament. At last I can create stuff in minutes rather than hours.

I love the look of the Fillament renders, they are perfect for my uses.

BUT... I can't render hair.  I am sure there must be a way, but I don't know what it is.

Please, could any kind soul tell me if there is a way to make normal transparent hair look right in Fillament?

I see the new product that claims it does, but there are no pictures, and screen shots that have been posted in threads here don't seem to have fixed hair at all.

    the only way I know is rather resource intensive and kind of defeats the purpose 

    and that is to use the Blender hair to particle hair plugin in the Blender forum

    then wait several hours to convert that to curves and extrude them and export the hideously high poly result

    you then have a fiberhair mesh with no transmapping

    otherwise just use fibermesh hairs, are a few in the store

    strandbased with line tesselation will render too

    here is elegant bun hair which is a fibermesh hair in Filament

    This product sorted me out. IF you have hair with dforce, you have to show the hair and play with the render settings to show that hair. I have decent computer. https://www.daz3d.com/fsl-realistic-hair-shaders-for-iray-and-filament
