Hmm. I love this overall, but I think it's the first time I've found one of your portraits' hairlines awkward; it looks a little like she's wearing a wig.



I'm not sure how to explain why, but I think it's some combination of the, hmm, rounded edge of the hairline in both dimensions. The leading edge is all upcurved, like a wig's using an upswept underlayer to conceal the edge of the scalp cap, and then also the contours around the scalp--over the ear, in front of the ear, along the side-hollows of the skull, up to the center brow, seems also too evenly curved, rather than a more varied edge (a bare curve behind the ear; a slight cluster of hair in front of it, and also a forward curve over the hollow brow-sides of the skull, and often a slight widow's peak at the top point of the forehead).



A lot of words for a minor distraction; sorry!
