Flat/smooth hair shader compatable with filament?

scuttlebuns

Hi, is there any hair shaders that'll make the hair flat/smooth without each strands/strips/cards/mesh visible? 90% of the hair looks terrible on filament and are resource hogs on iray. Using strand shader or filatoon shader gives an ugly choppy hair. Even if use good texture after applying strand hair shader via products like FSL texture for strand hair, it's still barely presentable. The issue is the mesh itself is ugly as they are just meant to be translucent guidelines for the hair shaders to render fiber like hair on iray and filament can't handle translucent hairs. Sorry if I sound a bit bitter, just frustrated why daz has not fixed filament hair issue despite its one of the most sought after improvement. I'm looking for something that'll crush appearance of individual strands or mesh, smoothing and blending it into one, but with a adjustable highlight of sorts that implies form. See attached example.
