Creating facial hair for character using Houdini or..?


Recommended Posts

I have hickups when creating hair and will get often error that because not sufficient ammount memory Houdini crash. 
When i import my OBJ model in to houdini and do following: 
1. Go to Grooming tab
2. Select my model
3. Click on adds fur (this will take about 1-3 minutes to load)
4. I click on "Initialize Guides" and system crashes. 

As i understand it is because 16 gigs of ram is no good for this job. 
But as i am trying only to add facial hair (so not many hair strings but more like some scattered along the face)
Like you see on this model face

Is there a way to add sting less of those hairs so system wont crash. (as has to calculate less)
What method would you suggest?

fiber-mesh in Zbrush and then somehow to convert it in Houdini to facial hair? (how?)
I am trying to find a ways to do facial hair without buyng more ram (as i cant afford it at the moment)
