This is my contribution for hair. I am experimenting with soft pastels - I am really loving it. Please comment on how I can improve my use of the medium.
You're doing a lot of good things already - working with coloured paper for instance really makes the white pop.
I would suggest you maybe try a much larger scale painting, say, filling up an A3 (or if you're from the US, it's about two letter sized papers put together). And just get a bit dirty with the colours - soft pastels are all about shades. I did a lot of still lifes when I was starting out and though it might not be the most exiting thing to paint it really gives you a good idea of how to judge values from life.
