The portrait of your friend turned out really well, especially the hair. It has kind of a "Matt Bomer" look.
Two things help with hair. First off, looking at reference, you can use photoshop to blur the ref to see the blocks better. Filter>>surface blur works well. Second off, if you are familiar with gesture drawing, hair has gesture. Don't just look for the blocks, look for lines of movement in the hair, like you did on your friend's portrait.
