Eyes are a little close and nose bridge is a bit short
Make the nose a bit close to the mouth , it'd be better
It's already going great

just imagine how each strand of hair is shaped from the very root, try drawing each hair, you'll get it after drawing by each strand for a while

Excuse me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe that’s the way to go about this at least going strand by strand hair doesn’t really work like that it clumps into groups so working on individual hairs doesn’t make much sense

maybe this would help, to be fair the ref pic is not an easy one to breakdown. Maybe something like the other pic I attach would be easier to understand

what i meant is if you understand the physics of one single hair, you'll get a deper understanding on how the hairstyle forms
