Comments, critiques, etc. so far?
P.S. I know the hair looks thick like dreads right now, but it thins up in game and actually looks pretty nice. (if I may say so myself)

The thing is, hair is not just straight lines going down. You need horizontal highlights, I recomend a 5-10% opacity white (or if you are using color, a much lighter tint) should do that. With that same opacity, you also need to create "stray" hairs, using a 3px brush, and make random lines going in the direction as the rest of your locks.
