Step 1. Consider the shapes that make up the form of the hair
This little example works for this particular child, whose hair is this particular blonde, and in this particular light. It's not a recipe, it's just to show how I painted this child's hair. You have to consider the unique variations of the blonde hair you are painting, but going through the same set of decisions can help, no matter what.
In this grayscale diagram, I've bumped the contrast to show more clearly the different light, middle and dark values that comprise the shapes of the hair. They have nothing to do with strands of hair.
