Once you've decided on the hair type you can establish the colour scheme. I always start with a mid tone; it's easier to add light and shadows onto one. Don't forget that hair is reflective – it's affected by the environment’s light and colours, so don't hesitate to add, for example, some touches of blue if the character is outside. This will add to the realism of the piece.
Regarding the details and the texture, I always paint the base with a basic hard round edge set to a large diameter. This helps to achieve the general shape of the hair. Then I switch to a custom spackled brush to work the strands and the primary details. Once I'm happy with the whole thing I can focus on specific areas and add details where appropriate. I never overwork and texture the entire head of hair.
I start the painting process by choosing the shape and basic colour of the character's hair. You can see the main strands that will inject a natural and realistic look to the haircut. I use a very large brush; I don't want to lose myself in the details at this stage, so I keep everything very simple for the moment.
I'm now refining the strands, giving them an appealing look and shape. The hair of this character is wavy and so the curves need to be soft and light. The main light will come from above the top of her head, which means I must increase the lighting on this specific area and add more shadows on the bottom.
It's time to work in the details and the texture of the hair. For this stage I use a spackled brush and a basic round edge set to dynamic shape for the tiny details. I select a strand (ideally one that's near the focal point of the piece, where I want to attract the eye) and carefully paint a few lengths of hair.
I repeat the techniques from previous step in areas of the character's hair where I want details to be visible, and then add dots of light on those particular strands, to make them stand out that much more. I also apply soft brush strokes with the spackled brush to add more refinement to the hair.
