    What you need basically, is a spotlight shining from behind the figure, and pointing at the head. Is that what you have tried? I don't see how it wouldn't work, it is just a matter of tinkering with the light settings usually.

    If you look for 3 point lighting setups on Google, you should be able to find lots of information. There is a free setup here from Paolo (creator of the Reality plugin)

    There are many more on Sharecg as well.

    Does that help any?

    This just hit the store today, and contains a shader for backlit hair that seems it may be just what you're looking for: http://www.daz3d.com/rim-light-rig
