Need tips for how to design hair

[Sunchips]

HIya guys I'm working on a model for my Cryomancer class I will have in my RPG map but I've got some probs on the hair... I tried to make it look a bit manga by making spikes but the faces were too small and soem of them got cut some black crap in-game so I guess I have to make it a different way.

Here is how he look like now as I have removed the hair:

Here is how my concept looks like:

Can someone give tips or even help me designing the hair? Will give creds and rep

I think you just make planes with a texture with Alpha Channles (Transparence)

what chilla said, for the model, just extrude it out and curve where you have to. then snap and weld the ends.

yes. it's wc3 for crying outloud, no one will look inside. just make sure you have a good texture
