Thanks, Vilters. No, I don't have too many lights, and shadows are not washed away. It is only at the hair roots that I expect more shadows than I'm getting; everything else is fine. And unchecking Light Emitter? that improves speed, but it doesn't give improved shadows, just makes things less realistic....
