A lot of manga artists lavish an incredible amount of work on hair, rendering seemingly every strand, curl and braid. I don't think that'd suit me but I love the way Ai Yazawa draws hair, with long simple lines showing the flow of the hair from root to tip.

Yazawa uses a single-width line for the majority of her cartooning while I use a brush-style so it should make an interesting combination.
