Are there any plans to create natural-looking hair?

I looked through hundreds of renders, dozens of add-on products, I could not find a single natural-looking hair add-on.

The hairdos all look like synthetic wig helmets. Not only is the texture wrong (in terms of the way the light hits the hair, exactly like a synthetic wig instead of natural hair), but most of the available hair styles are WAY too thick, especially at the place where the hair parts (which is part of the reason they look like wigs instead of hair).

Hair is light and airy, it blows in the wind, you can see the scalp through it, but I can't find any that look like that—natural. There were a couple that were close, the rest are bizarre. Not photoreallistic at all.

 

There's a time and a place for "fantasy hair" (super-thick and voluminous) but I was surprised, after so much searching, that I could not find a single example of natural-looking hair.

Is anyone planning to create some?

    Is https://www.daz3d.com/classic-side-part-hair-for-genesis-3-and-8 too fake looking? Hair is possibly the hardest thing to make look real because it is made up of hundreds of thousands of strands, each of which has scales that affect the light, and all moving in different ways. I'm certain that every hair vendor wishes they could make more realistic hair... And lots of people are trying very hard to get it right.

    Hang in there, and every day some progress is made wink

    You are very new, hair has always been the hardest thing to pull off in CGI 3D modeling 

    in fact many artists post work it using Photoshop brushes, the new Strand hair in the beta might be a step towards realism but that comes at a massive resource hit, the finer and more dense the hair the more it will tax the average computer
