I have uploaded a blend file with a "Wind Blowing Hair Test" and it is my hope that perhaps someone can offer some assistance. I utilized a UV Sphere and applied a particle system along with a pair of "Force Fields - Wind" and the hair falls to the bottom of the sphere leaving the top bald while the wind force retains little movement. Any ideas would be great!
