I think it sounds more normal to say "her hair blowing in the wind".

@Zifre: I agree with you 100%, but I adopted this sentence, and I've gotten in trouble for changing a sentence when it was grammatically correct. I googled "hair blown by the wind" and got 37000 hits. http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&sou...93f3a46fd77746

As it is phrased here, "her hair blown by the wind" (which is fairly natural, but ambiguous) could mean two different things:

- that it is currently blowing in the wind (could be said "her hair being blown (around/about) by the wind", but, like Zifre said, sounds more normal as "her hair blowing in the wind")

- that it has been blown by the wind, resulting in some current mussed-up state of hair (could also be said "with windblown hair").
