Here's some links to some hair tutorials out there. But yeah, I'd have to agree that photo reference should really help with hair (or at least hair styles.

It's called animation, dear. :) And there is a difference between manga style drawing and anime style.

It's true!

It's ture, I tell you. Anime and manga styles are very different. Manga focuses much more on texture and often have more detail. In anime detail gets dropped somewhat to make animation and coloring easier.

That's not true, Coolie.

That's not true, Coolie. Only some anime are based on manga. In fact, some manga are actually based on anime.

okies then...

...i'll just be moving along...

hey, psssst...
hair is draw with smooth full strokes. Just copy hair styles you may see around you, just section the hair into chunks and try to stylize it a bit.

leaving now.

Reiko Kitsune; Monday, December 4, 2006 - 21:12

I won't be of much help, I can't draw hair well either, mostly because I have troubles decideing what kind of hair I want to draw.

I've never has a heart, Never know love.

Yet you expect me to care, to care about you.

Now you're staring at me, You stare at me as your love fades to grey.

What did you expect, Did you expectg me to love, love you with a heart I've never had?

Surely

Surely it's easier to just use hair being blown by the wind rather than a tree being blown by the wind if your using that method... ?

well hair can be really easy

sakura; Thursday, December 7, 2006 - 16:37

well
hair can be really easy to draw you know.
with hair you don't need to look after^proprtions and other irritating stuff.
you can go wild!!
and btw: draw bangs they look good in manga: you begin at the side of the face(that's closest to you) and just draw some kind of points but a bit bended (hard to explain lol) away from the face. do this until you reach the other side of the face.
