Hair makes my Animations lag

Hello, I need help with my animations. Adding hair causes my animations to lag. Is their a way to fix this ?

    You can animate with the hair hidden - does that help? Or do you need the hair to move as you are animating?

    I don't know how to hide the hair. If the hair is hidden, will it show when i render the video ?

    There is an eye icon in the Scene tree - find the hair and hide it. The goal is to get he major animation work done without the lag, right?

    Once that is done, then unhide the hair, do whatever animation you need on the hair (if needed), then render. If your hair is complex, playback of the animation will be slow. Rendering should not be an issue. Are you using Iray or Filament?

    I hid the hair and facial hair, animation still laggy. I'm using Iray

    Other causes for lag is high subD value or high iterations on Smooth.

    If the lag is caused by a single object, you can try the following:

    Hide approximately half of the objects, then see if lag is gone. If the lag is still there, then try to hide around half of the unhidden objects, and continue till you know which objct is causing it.

    The hair is definitely making my animations lag. I had to take off the hair on head, facial hair and body hair to make the animation work good.

    I lower down subD value to 0, the animations looks a little better but its still a little laggy. I don't know how to get to the  high irerations to lower smooth
