I have a small studio, 16x22 with 10' ceilings. I am using a Larson starfish attached to the ceiing as a hairlight. I think I should be using a strip light. Suggestions for hair lights?

What about using a mirror, radio triggered flash gun like a Canon 580EX (zoomed out to 70-105 mm)?

I used to bolt a small flash to the ceiling--with no modeling lamp or Polaroids [forget digtal!] in those days!! Now that was fun. I also tried lighting the hair from the back corners of the room--still do in most cases.
