frame by frame would be the only way. There is not some magical code that will just animate the hair how you want it. What I would do was make the hair as its own movieclip and then animate it for about 14-20 frames (12fps) 28-38 frames (24fps) or 45-65 framaes (32fps) increase the number of frames as your FPS increases
