Well, perhaps step back a little and ask yourself what are you going for exactly? Is there something you want the hair to convey about her character, or is it just a thing to frame her face? This may help you determine a style (Straight hair, more controlled character, wavy curls more down to earth?)
I think the middle one is probably the most natural of the three and fits her character better, but what I see is that you are trying to paint individual strands and it ends up looking a bit spidery. Rather think of the hair in general large volumes, block that in and then add the broad highlights to accentuate the form. You can then do some individual strands to indicate detail. The type of brush you use also can matter. Rakes can be good for implied "strandage". Depends on the level of detail you want I guess
