Question regarding ingame hair

PixelGoat

I have a little dilema regarding which techinque to use when making hair for a "game" model (its not really going to be in a game but you know what I mean)
The haircut I wish to make is a "helicopter" (directly translated from the swedish term, due to the lack of a better description)
Example of what I'm looking to create:

I have tried sculpting it in Zbrush and I´m quite happy with the result...but having it sculpted puts alot of limitations on animation. So, I´m wondering if it would be better to use polyplanes with alpha to represent the hair instead?

Inputs and Ideas are mucho welcome

I think its one of those hair styles which suits a sculpt/built mesh rather than poly planes. Poly planes is more for a fuller effect with strands coming off, etc. This hair style (imo) would just suit a straight mesh, unless you wanted strands to come off for the fringe or something.

Went with the sculpting solution, thanks for the input
