This is one of my first pixel works, i made it with the help of an expert friend.
Since i dont want to turn this into a long and boring post i'll cut to the chase.
I need help with pixeling hair, when it comes to hair, i'm a complete and utter noob.

That's about it, also, if you have any cc on the piece, feel free to post it since i'm willing to learn from my mistakes.

try hair using cell-shading and simple color fields instead of actual hair.

Its too hard to say without knowing where you are going.
Hair can be made in so many way and styles. Look around the gallery and see what direction you wish to go. Do a search for 'portraits'.

This project  has all kinds of hair ideas (4 pages)

Don't copy anything, just be inspired by.

See, the key is in my signature. :p

That's called cell-shaded style.
Look at the galleries of Indigo, Kenneth Fejer.
