The thing is that you don't want the {rgbt <0,0,0,1>} bit to be shiny
because there'd be shininess in the gaps between the hairs. So what you
do is only apply your shiny finish{} to the visible bits, thus using the
same map to control opacity and shininess. Something like this:

#declare HairTex = texture {
 pigment_pattern {image_map {jpeg "Hair-Opa.jpg" interpolate 2}}
 texture_map {
     [0 pigment {rgbt <0,0,0,1>}]
     [1 texture {
          pigment {image_map {jpeg "Hair.jpg" interpolate 2 }}
          finish {phong 1 phong_size 10}
        }
     ]
  }
}
