fluffy torus
For this animation I added a hair particle system to a torus and made the hair move by a turbulence forcefied which is rotating along the x and z axis.

cube child hair experiment
For this animation I used a hair particle system with some child particles emitted form a cube in blender. The hair gets influenced by different forcefields over time. The child particles on the left side of the cube didn't work as expected. I will make some more experiments and try to fix this.

blender curve experiment - curly hair with cycles
First of all - no, cycles still has no hair or particle renderer - BUT To render short hair that doesn't need hair-dynamics you can use object groups to render the hair.
I made some spirales and deformed them using the proportional editing tool with random influence, grouped them together and used them as dubliobjects in a hair particle system on the head figure
The need to have a bevel value and bevel has to be set to full for this to work.
Still not perfect, because of the lack of hair-dynamics, but very nice for some cartoony characters or still images.
