This post is bordering on being on topic and should go in .advanced-users.

I seem to recall reading that in the Final Fantasy movie, they DID have 
shots where each strand of hair was made up of  3 or 4 triangles, and 
the model had 60,000 individual hairs, if I'm not mistaken.  Considering 
that this movie was made over 10 years ago, one can safely assume that 
rendering a similar shot today would be next to trivial.

I do know that Golumn's hairs were also individually modeled and 
rendered, but he only had a handfull of them, so it's not quite the same 
level of complexity.  ;)
