I would make it from polygons or Nurbs in that case, and do not delete the history (don't FREEZE it). Then you can make it into a cloth object, and after the number of rings and spans is settled on, you can create curves from the edges and hide the poly/Nurbs object.
Just off the top of me head. Don't know a way off the top of my head to do it anywhere near like you would would ICE strands.
