Hair isnt individual lines. Usually they are blocked via shapes. In your photo is the same. Then you paint it in with strokes.

chunk them into larger 'shapes' and then split them up.

I draw them in a big clump like this. This is my OC archer girl Elffey.

Draw an owl..
But seriously just think about biggest shapes and block them, than look wich directions they flow. Next you can refine them in smaller shapes and at last you go for details and maybe rendering.

I'm experimenting with rendering complex textures of hair. This was ballpoint pen followed by black gel ink pens deepening and defining dark shadows.

I suck ass at drawing and painting hair so I'll be watching this thread with great interest

Jack Hamm's Head and figure book has a half decent section on drawing hair, so give that a look (in my opinion at least).
I find a lot of the lines often are more so an indication of the light on the hair, or to show the shadow of a hair cluster, rather than to show individual hair strands.

This is a work in progress. I am getting the best of black BIC ballpoint pens then onto black gel ink afterwards. I sm attempting to render wood textures of both table and mug, fairies lounging in back of a translucent glass carafe, and white hair flopping over whitish fur. And you can only learn how by trying.

Trying to post this correctly for instance.

And let's see how another photo of tis will look.
