Hiya Tugg mate, get yourself back to tesco and buy a reeves cartridge paper sketch book, about £3.50 oop north, it is a vast improvement over printer paper. you will notice the difference instantly bud, great sketch by the way!

for pencil portrait hair advice , id put down the values in the hair and blend them nice and smooth, then remove graphite with a kneeded eraser and an electric eraser. then adjust the values of those leaving some light tone and some highlight. i let my erasers do a ton of the work in hair.
heres a sample of some hair ive done with this method
the chin hair in this one
