Is there a way to change number of guide CVs individually without carpet bomb solution of using a detail modifier in stack?

Do you mean having a different guide points count for each strand in the same hair object?

Precisely, or if i want to create a new guide with higher cv count.

Each guide with a different point count is not possible at the moment, I see how this could complicate simulation but I will see if this can be added. Depending on what you are trying to do, you can use the GenerateStrandData operator to modify the point count per guide using different conditions. Eg. Control the point count based on the length of the guide, or its curviness:

Actually, you can plant and draw guides with different point counts. When you select the Plant Guides tool in EditGuides, open the tool options window, there you have to turn OFF Adopt Shape and choose a custom point count.
