can any recommend a written tutorial on rigging daz hair?

A lot of the hair sold here does not have rigging. I noticed only one PA here, AprilYSH, seems to add rigging to almost all their hair and these work great for animation with some existing scripts. So How do I add rigging to hair? I would like to do this permanently. In other words, add rigging to my store bought daz hair, and then save them so anytime I use that hair on any other figure it will also have the rigging. Ideally I would like to even save these in my backup DIMs so if I ever have to reinstall them, they will already be rigged (I already make DIMS all the time for stuff from Rendo, so I just need to know how to rig the hair and then save it in the proper structure.) Do I need to use blender or can this be done in Daz? Can someone point me to any easy tutorial? I prefer a written tutorial with pics, I have a really hard time following youtube tuts for some reason, my brain just doesn's absorb it if I don't read it.

    You are not alone, the reason being as **the majority of video tuts are rambling, slow, real-time fumbling-in-the-software affairs that really are infuriating to sit through as it takes 5-10 minutes for them to shut-up and get to the point of the tutorial, it really sucks that a well-written tutorial is so rare to find!

    Unfortunately, the only tutorial that I found is a paid version with indexes within the video, (It's on sale for $13) but this may just be another rambling tutorial with useless filler, as I haven't bought the tutorial, but daz does have a generous refund program...

    **there are exceptions to the rule as you should note the video tut authors in my sig!
