Alpha Shadows Question

Hello everyone,

i have a question working with the DAZ Studio plugin but it is more of a general Octane question. Is it possible to turn off the alpha shadows for specific objects only? My characters hair for example eats render time like crazy because of the shadows the opacity map casts. If i turn of alpha shadows in the render settings, the hair still looks good enough for me and it is way faster but it affects other objects too obviously. So is there a way to only make the hair not cast alpha shadows? And if not does anyone now a workaround or tipps in general how to speed up render time with a lot of transparency?

Thanks
