hello, as the tittle say i'm looking for "polygonal hairs" no strand based, no fibermesh and neither dforce hair, i'm looking for hairs at best case 40k vertices, can be any type from short to long, pony tail, pig tail, braid, mohawk any type of hair which is at a maximum of 40k, the ideal numbers are between 5 to 25k, they can be "realistic or cartoon/anime, they can be from V4/M4 to genesis 8, they must have interactive licenses, this is for the peoples which already owns many hars from daz and can link this info if they want to share:
post the product link page and if possible the "poly count of the hair"(how much vertices it have)
you can post many as you want if you want to post only 1 post 1 if 2 if 10, any number is fine, you don't need to post your full library or every hair just what you want, if someone already posted hair which you have "before you" then you don't need to post again, just post the ones if they not already posted.
as we know most of the new "daz hair generations" and even many old based on "creator" are "monsters hairs in the sense of being toooooooooooooooo high poly or too heavy, due to some techs like fibermesh or strand based and even sometimes being dforce, but that is not only the point, having too high poly or "too problematic hairs" while for "daz is not a "big deal" or at last we are to believe, when working "outside daz" they are really a big deal, be being because of "high poly count or being a daz only system(like the dforce hairs) it is too problematic, then for cases like that i would love to know "more "non daz only users friendly hairs", then would be really helpfull if some peoples could help peoples like me, which work for "game dev" know what type of hairs we can "use safe", without have to worry in buy/load "monsters hairs and while even hairs "above 40k would still "somehow fine" for some cases still not good if they go "too far" like above 100k, then i would love if peoples could give some help and provide this info:
just to start here some "exemple of hairs so far which i do have and feel "fine to use":

Seeing as you're asking for hair including off-site non-Daz hairs, Ali has a lot of hair that might be an option.
Kosaburo also did tons of low poly hair but that was from long ago and I don't know if they're still agound of whatever hapened to him.
A starting point for free hairs (or free add-ons to paid-for hairs) might be this:
https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Hair
inludes list for still available hairs by Kozaburo....
Keep in mind the OP stated they must have interactive licenses.
I’m not sure how to count vertices but this is an old one I like: https://www.daz3d.com/radiant-jaguar-hair-for-genesis
Valea https://www.daz3d.com/valea has a lot of hair that may work for you. Just parent instead of conform to newer characters.
Also these: https://www.daz3d.com/mairy
yeah while i don't mind then being "off daz site too" is important which they can be used outside daz like for game, then the source must have they own way to "allow" it be used like for game, for exemple renderosity if i'm not wrong have the "extended license" which work as the interactive license in daz, if the hair can be used for game and other stuffs outside daz then you can post.
Look at Mylochka's stuff on ShareCG: a lot of it is Star-Trek themed, but much of it's not exclusive to Trek. He was making his early hair models based on TOS characters when Poser was still P4/PP/P5, and DS was DAZ|Studio Beta 0.2.... Because they're not limited to Trek fan-art, some of his early hair-- especially-- allows commercial use, and there aren't many better LR hairstyles for male figures out there.

Don't most game engines have their own hair system? Unreal and Unity have specific hair shaders and hair physics engines. Wouldn't it be better to use that instead of old DAZ hair which was never designed for game use?
shader don't means "mesh", the shaders and hair system are 'effects" for a mesh hair, you still need to "model a hair" to apply the shaders, then is much more simple get a daz hair and "apply the effects" than create your own hair.
