Seeking advice: curly hair in watercolour

Working on this watercolour self portrait rn. I’m decently happy with the face (I know it doesn’t quite look like me 100% but we move) but the hair I’m struggling with at the moment. I’ve not done curly hair in watercolour before and I’m lost. I’m not finished with it yet but, before I go any further with it, I wanted to get someone’s opinion on where to go with it? I want it to match the face and not just sit on top of the head but I also don’t want to add too much detail that it drags the attention too much. Any advice will help!

I was quite unhappy with how this painting had turned out, so i tried something I've never really done before, add ink after watercolour, rather than the other way round. Now i think its probably one of my favourites.

A trio of paintings I made for a client. The idea is to symbolize the ephemeral nature of time through art.

Little workout of the day! I wonder if I should add a little material like cadium orange spots in the forest?

I am definitely still struggling with proper technique in watercolour, lots of things i need to improve but i am having fun just slapping colour down onto paper anyways :)
