Hi, I was wondering how I could improve the speed of my game.

Here are my system specs:
2.33ghz Processor
2 Gig RAM
512MB Nvidia 8600GS Graphics Card

The main problems I am having are outdoor areas (mainly grass) and areas with high detail, they slow down slightly so I have to use the 'tg' console command to toggle the grass off at times but I would realy like to have it run a smoothly as possible. Thanks.

Oh there is another question, when my character is running her hair goes 'inside' her body is there any way of fixing that also?

Hmm, not sure how you could improve the speed of your game by a huge amount, but there is a mod called streamline which clears the memory more often than the game would itself, so it can help increase fps and although I noticed no difference in my game I do know people who swear by it, so it might be worth a try (the other thing to bear in mind is that it needs OBSE, so get that too).
There are also mods which reduce the polys on the grass models, but I won't link those since they can look quite bad!
That's all I can think of, I have a similar setup to you and I have just decided to put up with the terrible fps I get outdoors when lots of people are fighting! I am too vain and like my game to look as pretty as possible  
On the other question, hair models are static, Oblivion will only allow rigged wigs, not rigged hair. That means when you character runs, crouches, poses etc, their hair will clip into their body. There are quite a few wig mods around now, but Growlfs Animated Hair is very good and it'll let you see what type of thing to expect
