Do you have a tablet with pressure sensitivity? The hair in vagabond is done with a brush or a brush pen as far as I can tell.
For Vagabond I only found timelapses, so a bit too fast to really understand:

Slower example, look for the inking of the hair (look at 2:07' or 2:17')

David Finch has very nice videos, this one shows inking with a brush:

One approach: make lines that follow the direction of the hairlocks, then go in with a bigger brush to make black areas. You can draw with your background color or eraser to bring lighter strands back in. This was 5 to 10 minutes I think, it's a pretty loose approach, but you can work on nicer lines by going more slowly (or fixing with the background color/eraser). I didn't really look where the light parts should be, so it's not the best drawing, but I just wanted to quickly show this way of working.
