The hair, oh the hair...

I didn't think I'd ever run into so many problems doing the hair, this was by far the toughest part of my sculpt for me. I tried many techniques that didn't work out too well.
First I tried masking where the hair is and then extracting, to proceed to just sculpt the hair, but it didn't look realistic at all and just looked like somebody dumped food onto his head.
I tried putting a sphere into his head and then dragging the move tool to block in where the hair is, I ran into some problems concerning topology and so scrapped that technique too.

Finally I came across the most simple technique which works really well for my hair. I just worked on top of the head, but on a new layer, using the rake brush on a big brush size and then smaller sizes to get some detail. Damien Standard also was used to just separate different flocks of hair.

This is what I eventually got to.
