I would say that modeling hairs for VG industry is a bit like constructing a hut for kiddies in the forest. It doens't have to be complex in the structure, while the decoration have to be a lot better.
By that I mean drawing the texture is A LOT MORE important than modeling part. Roughly said, for a simple "coiffure", a simple half bucky-ball, from which you then extrude each face, in a slightly curved extrude with 3-4 segments. Precisely like the mangas. That's the starting point. After a pair of trials, you'll prolly end up with a base shape of 200-500 polys. (Considering PC >< consoles specs).
Then, put all the know-how you got in drawing/pen the texture under 'toshop. There's the tricky step. Also the alpha will then add the transparency at ends.
>> so here are some good links showing how to draw simple hairs. Always think about primitives, a bit reshaped, onto which a good texture's applied.
Modeling : 15 mins to the most.
Drawing texture : 1-2 hour at least for the first trial.
