>Sound complicated
It's really not. I just told you how to do it right there. Here's a spoonfeeding step by step guide. I can't offer any guides since I never used one. I saw someone else doing something similar a while back and decided to try it on my own. It's pretty simple.

>Add a grease pencil stroke object, go into edit mode and delete all the points.
You add as a stroke so the materials are already set up. You can add as empty though if you want to set those up yourself.
>Go into draw mode, enter top view, and draw some hair strands (ideally using a graphics tablet)
>Go into object mode, select the drawing, object>convert>bezier curve (or path)
It keeps the original stroke object, so you can delete that or hide it.
It might also be beneficial to simplify the curve by going add>simplify and adjusting the distance error till you get something that resembles your curve but with less points. I think that's part of the "extra curves" addon that's built into blender, so you might have to enable that. You don't have to simplify them though.
>Add thickness to the curve like usual (by increasing the curve's bevel)
You can taper the end by Selecting one of the endpoints in edit mode, turning on proportional editing ("O" button), and using alt+s to shrink the end.
>Set up an orthographic camera above the hairs, and render out whichever maps you need
Just find a guide on how to render normal maps, and depth/bump maps. There's a fuckton of those. No baking required.

It seems "complicated" because I typed it all out, but it really would take like a minute or two to do. Most of the time is spent trying to get your strokes looking nice. Not trying to make fun, but if something like this is considered complex for your skill level, you'd be having a worse time trying to make hair cards with a dedicated tool since those can go pretty deep on their own.
