The main problem with that hair is two fold (in my honest opinion)
Firstly, the shading of the hair seems entirely too uniform. the side of the hair in the direct light seems no different to the hair in shadow. I find I have this problem with most default shaders that come with hair unfortunately. I usually end up making my own.
Secondly, the amount of actual hair seems too little. all those bits that are sticking up at the top seem out of place due to the number of visible hairs.
I think hair is the one thing in Poser that is seriously behind the times. Content artists seem to produce the same type of hair using the same methods, and have been for years. the textures are almost always straight strands of hair with little to no overlapping, and the size of the hair strips are usually quite large and too few in number.
