Watch the video below (just one of many good demonstrations), then make a refined graphite drawing of your own hair. Draw large, to fill a page of your sketchbook. Draw from life, and use a single light source. Use a full set of pencils and replicate the tonal values exactly as you see them in the real three-dimensional world.
Make this a finished, refined artwork.
(There are countless other videos about the process on Youtube and time-lapse demonstrations. Look for one or two that show how to address your specific type of hair.)

Remember to use a FULL RANGE OF TONAL VALUE. You may want to practice creating different tonal values first, using the scale below. Use H and low B pencils for your lightest tones, 2B and 4B for your middle tones, and 6B for your darkest values.
