Im not that great at drawing.. well anything really, but i would suggest matching the highlights in the hair with the highlights on the skin. im talking about how the light hits the skin and hair. how the left side of her face (our right) is ligher due to the light hitting on that side and a bit in the forehead, therefore the hair should be a little lighter on that side as well. just my 2 cents.
Actually the hair is a bit flat looking.
The lips and eyes are vibrant!
The skin could use a little, something, not sure just what. If this is a 3D rendering, I would adjust the lighting. The neck shows the flaws in lighting.
Other than that, is she free this Friday? Drinks and Dancing in Vegas maybe? I'm not interested in the hair, I find bald women strangely attractive....

My tip on hair painting (and any painting on a poser figure, really): don't forget the shadows! The hair should cast a shadow on her face and body. Do this, and it looks so much more "in there". :) Also, the hair actually "sits" on a round base, so it gets the same shading as the head. If the back of the head is a bit darker - so is the back of the hair. Hope this helps. :)
start with blocking in the darker areas, then turn your brush down to about 28-35 opacity, use the smaller 3 point brush and paint in each layer; then you have to get creative, brushing in layers to go from dark to light...use the multiply, burn, screen, and vary the lighting on differnt layers just to add depth. Hair on the top layer should be drawn in using the finest brush size, 1. remember not very many hairs are just straight, they are sometimes very messy so your brush strokes should be different...just keep building the layers...
