Torus segments, sphere sweeps, blob components or spheres and 
cones/cylinders along the path of the hair...

Depends on what you mean...if implemented as a new feature, a radius and 
a point for every control point, similar to the sphere_sweep. Otherwise, 
the memory required to hold all the objects it is made of...a bunch of 
differences each made of a torus and two planes, a mesh, a bunch of 
spheres and cylinders, a blob, a sphere sweep...
