Like any part of drawing, practice makes perfect and hair can differ so much that there are different approaches for each type.
If you can start putting this much effort into your next few drawings you'll be producing some impressive work you can be proud of.

With the hair, it's hard for me to give advice without knowing the type, long, short, curly, straight, blonde, dark. Try to give me as much detail when asking for tips or tutorials, that way I can hopefully find something that will be useful.
Like I keep telling you, don't push yourself too hard or expect too much, if you just make one small improvement on one aspect of each drawing, it's still progress, pushing too hard will make drawing hard work instead of fun.
it a photo of Derren Brown i'll put the link at the bottom its so long!!!its quite simple hair in the respect that theres not much of it in the picture it just looks really rubbish!

Well Derren's hair is pretty dark, the main thing to remember with hair or fur is to always keep your pencil strokes going in the direction of the hair. For this I would suggest downward strokes with a fairly sharp 2B using varying lengths of stroke, don't press hard, just build up overlapping layers, then after a couple of layers, shape your kneadable eraser to the size of the slightly lighter areas and dab a little of the graphite off, then layer again over it all and get it as dark as you need to, the areas you dabbed should stay a shade lighter. Keep your pencil sharpened as often as you need to keep the lines thin.
ok i try to do that!
