Here is a setup for the primary highlight. This has the color map going into an HSV node. Use the HSV node to desaturate the diffuse color (saturation < 1), making it closer to a shader of gray. Increase the value (value > 1) to compensate for a dark color in your color map.
For this color map I used saturation = .5, value = 2. You will have to use your judgement about what values to use.
The anisotropic node is set up with highlight sizes in u and v (.5 and .05). This produces a narrow highlight across many hairs.
The EdgeBlend node is there because the anisotropic node sometimes makes an extraordinary (and wrong) bright highlight at the top of the head - we want to prevent that.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
