If you are not sight fishing for them, focus on building a hair rig setup that works, before worrying about the bajiliion carp rigs that are out there.

You will get excellent self hooking rates by ensuring that your hair rig line is extremely supple, but the hook link line is a lot stiffer. Simple mechanics will allow the hair and bait to be blown out but leave the hook line in place.

   

Obviously, my set up is predominantly for pop up rigs, but I have adapted the hair rig and hook length into a short section that I can add onto whatever base rig I am using.
