Step 1
Draw the outline of the hair. The curves of the hair is important since your highlight will depend on the direct of the "curve"
Step 2
Draw light lines, follow the direction of the curve, whether the hair concaves left or right.
Step 3
Using any cloth, smudge the surface for a smoother finish for the shading.

Thank you very much!! <3
Nice easy and easy to follow. My drawing looks like cartoon characters LOL, but when I color using colored pencils I follow the same basics that you mention here. It's a nice technique, plus hair is never 'perfect' anyway. You did an amazing job.
