Bust - Working with Hair

I finally had the time to meet up with a friend of mine and shoot some reference photos of her, thanks again! So now I can get to work in ZBrush and really try to hone in on detailing features and minute details like pores and hairs. It'll be fun. While waiting to shoot reference shots, I've been working out how I want the hair to flow. I've been looking at an image I found in my d'artiste book, and the artist really put a lot of time and love into the hair of the character. He has just a touch of wind blowing the hair around, and it really adds movement and personality to the piece, and I want to mimic that. Now that I've got reference for hair blowing in the wind (it was windy yesterday when I took the reference), I will revamp the styling I have so far. Something about it still seems off.

Here's what I've got so far: the concept art for the hair and the model so far.
