I find the barber does a good job, not that I take him up on it very often.

channels are your friend dancer - read a tut ages ago in a digi photography mag that was brilliant. Obviously I have since forgotten every damn word of it, but Designerrors looks close :D

blowing out the levels / channels (of a dup layer).. extract filter, use that as a start for a mask.

that mask job looks like utter flaming shite

personally, I think rendering 300 hairs back into an image is absolutely ridiculous.

this shit is so easy.
just pick a channel, duplicate it, up the brightness/contrast, cmd-click the channel layer and use that selection to create a mask on the image layer.
if you absolutely have to, pass it off to a finisher who will clean it up and sexify it in like a minute
we do this crap all day long for movie posters

It depends on the background behind the hair."Generally speaking" answer:
Channels.
