I think we all learnt a lot from this project and still do - IMHO the Antonia thread is the perfect playground where you can dare to try out new things without having to be afraid that someone points at you. I've made very stupid mistakes but always found helpful people instead of laughter.
Here I used dynamic hair with a hair material by Adorana:

The trick that adds more shadows to the hair is simply the use of an IBL with Ambient Occlusion turned on (hair is visible in raytracing) and the specular light adjusted so that it doesn't hit the hair too much.
But for sculpting and testing you need this bright light you've used to see everything, the only thing that MAY help is using neutral grays for the colors of the light.
I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!
And I am not strange, I am Limited Edition!
