Hi Pat,
A method works for me (when working in graphite), is to render the form using the pencil strokes. That is, make sure the pencil strokes are drawn the same direction as the hair stokes. Don't blend too much; you might get a "helmet" appearance.
Also, rather than pull the highlights with an eraser, leave that area blank, and adjust the value with strokes as required. This seems to give it a fresher look.
I know Lon Haverly or Jimmie Arroyo could give you a better example, but I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean:
