Skin-hairline-hair transition

[Matney X]

I'm about to tackle my first larger-scale model (it's not REALLY larger scale -- it's a Storm Giant from Reaper, so it's colossal at 25mm), and one thing that I've never been able to get right is the transition between skin and hair. On smaller models, I don't let it bug me, but as the scale gets bigger I want it to look better - ya'know?

Do you have any tips or tricks for transitioning from skin to hair?

Look in the mirror, your hair grows out from your skin.
Therefore paint the skin tone over the hair line and the hair on top of that.
Don't forget that any partings will need a 'suggestion' of under hair skin tone, but only a suggestion.
