RE: The hair light-
Great point.
You'll probably want to experiment with 'kicker' and 'rim' lights.

kicker: hard white light from 3/4-1/2 back
rim: hard light from about 1/4 back, to just bring out a rim effect on side of subject

if you're looking at a clockface, with the subject in the middle facing 6PM
rim: 13pm--14pm
kicker 14:30-15:30

obviously, play with these for different effects, but you'll find it'll bring the subject right back as the subject, and highlight them nicely
