Why the insane amount of dithering? It looks horrible. Dithering is used as a transition between 2 shades, but you just used it on the entire face. Also dithering is used when you have severe color restrictions, you could do that, but then in the hair you have around 5 different colours all very close to each other. So for consistency pick a side: Either have no dithering and lots of colours or dithering with only a few.

Was going to say the exact same thing as CFKaligula. Well, I guess there's no point now, is there :p

As for the shine, just decide where the light source is. Right now, despite having all that dithering, I can't really tell. Don't pillow shade every bump of the braids, see the braids as entire objects, and insist on the highligts on the parts closer to the light source. Hope that helps!
