Hair Test 1 (welp me, taiko-sensei)

Description

So. I want to make pixel-art hair on doll bases as good as Taiko554 and some others. Therefore, I'm uploading this pic to DA for Taiko554-sama to examine and give me the advice I need to be better.

I mean, Tell me, Taiko554Â - HOW DO I HAIR? It would mean everything to me if you tell me.

Oh, by the way, the girl's hair colors are the same as Twilight Sparkle. I fixed the jeans since the "original" jeans didn't fit the base.

Feedback is very appreciated to me. Sharing is also a good thing. Don't bother to do both if you need so.

Help me, Taiko-sama. xoxo desla

Hair is definitely one of the hardest things to pixel.  I use colors with five shades and this is the general way I do things:
The darkest shade is the general outline.  The next shade would be accenting lines and strands of hair and is perfectly fine to cross over the darker outline.  Then use the next two shades to give those lines some weight, making possibly one pixel width on each side, except on the darkest outline.  Then the last and brightest shade is used to fill in any empty space. 
It's not a perfect way to describe my method, but that's kinda the best I've got.  Good luck.
