Some great drawings here, I think overall, you have a pretty good grasp on 3D forms.
Some feedback:
It seems that you are going over some of your lines many times, giving your line work a very sketchy and scratchy feeling. Try to plan your lines more carefully, and execute using one confident line as opposed to many lines laid over the top of each other.
Try construct actual tufts of hair instead of just using single line strokes, it adds character far more effectively. Also try to vary the lengths and spacing between tufts of hair to avoid excessive uniformity.
Overall great work!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
