I would only question the lack of loops around the mouth, it will still animate though. Mostly the mesh seems pretty solid and you just need to move a few things around to get it looking more correct. I'm not a head expert but I've done a few and each time I learned something, but all the topology issues have been figured out by others and you can just look at their solutions, the main thing is proportions.

i assume you are going for a photo real head here? i would work on other things first, texturing being one of them. a couple of posts ago you said "turned shadows on" that didn't make much sense looking at the attached image. does that mean you started shading and lighting? the image looked like a screen shot rather than a render. So if you did start lighting and rendering why did you stop?
the hair renders you have there are not great. there is no shadowing and the shader is pretty horrible tbh.
Keep going with things you have begun to learn a little, like shading and lighting and texturing. Or, if you want to be an animator, why not just start rigging. because the texturing, lighting and rendering doesn't matter and neither does hair. you don't animate hair, its more of a dynamic simulation thing.
It will be good, just don't go in the wring direction too much. I think you are jumping hte gun with hair.
