Smoothing guides procedurally

Is there a modifier-only way of smoothing guide directions as to make them change direction less radically? I know of the smooth brush but I am looking for a procedural way affecting all the hairs.

Hi,

Something like the Strand Detail Modifier?

Hi,

I don't think that is the right one for this. This modifier, according to my understanding, resamples the single guide itself with new steps. What I am looking for is something that kind smooths out the guides between themselves. If i have one guide pointing to A and another to B I want the guide between those two to basically point at the average direction of A and B. I don't know how to explain it better. Basically "anti frizz"?

So are we talking about hair interpolation? We don't have a tool to do exactly this, but if we are talking about hair and guide interpolation you can play with the Interpolation Space and Interpolation Guide Count sections in HairFromGuides to smooth the hair. Interpolation Count takes 1 to 3 guides and average the hair between them, just as a described.
