Thanks for the replies. I was looking at simulated hair strands alright, I'll continue that path of research now that I know it is used method. I'd love to port MT_springs to Maya but am a little tight on time at the moment. Possibly at a later date though :)
@Seb Thanks for the link. After I posted the question, I thinking that the Bonus Tool may have a solution! I'll post my results for anyone else who is interested.
