you have the colors down fine, but you just need to work on the coloring. Make sure you fill in ALL grey areas. Don't over color (especaially in places like the hair!). Take the time to make sure you coloring is perfect.

secondly, when it comes to the hairline, use a feathered brush on low opacity. Color into the hair a lil bit so the transition is less harsh.

thirdly, I have a tip for you. Flatten the image, duplicate it, filter> blur>guassian blur (at 2 or 3) the top layer> set that layer to.. whatever you want. (multiply works best for light images,like this one; screen works good for dark colorizatoins, and soft light or overlay work nicely too.)

OR flatten the image, new layer on top of your colorization, fill it in black, set the black layer to soft light. That works nicely somtimes too

I don't know why, but doing either one of those 2 tricks hides ALOT of your flaws and improves your colors *shrugs* That's what works for me
