i loveeee the recent megu btw w the fish and the flowers and stuff im a sucker for nature symbolism and also it made me cry Several Times
aaaa hi rin !!!! omg ok i am not that great at explaining but i will try my best 2 illustrate some tips (featuring megumi's hairstyle fr presumably obvious reasons plus i figured he is a likely candidate of yours also!! )

the most important thing with hair i think is to break it into easy-to-manage sections and really consider how they Fall away from the head! no matter the hair length or style, gravity is part of what gives hair character/motion! also paying attention to the distance from the scalp helps it not look flat, so it's important to draw the whole head, starting from a bald base n working Outwards. it sounds obvious but remembering tht the head is a sphere is important fr visualizing how each section lays on the scalp/is affected by gravity, etc
here's a really good guide i found that says all this but better and with more detail and examples btw!!! im gonna say the p word no one get mad but as with any aspect of art or any skill u get better the more u practice <3 hope this helped at least a little bit !!
