I suppose the sketchy style just looked too unfinished, although that is the idea, I think thick solid lines would have looked too dull. As its manga art I don't want to add colour....so what should I do?

(BTW not sure why its blurry, I haven't changed it from its original scan size. The pic you will see here is smaller due to photobucket sizing)

Well at the moment it looks like a sketchy outline. Perhaps you can use some tones/ shading? That way the hair can have bits that are shining which can add to some volumetric feeling. You can also create a bit of depth with some good shading :3

Otherwise I don't have any other suggestions X-P

I agree with kuroimisa. Since you're trying to replicate a manga-like style, you might want to try experimenting with screentone-like patterns and/or black and gray textures. Another thing, even though they're not solid black lines, all the lines are more or less uniformed. In line-art, it helps to vary the line weight (i.e. thick/thin). (Ex. 1 & 2) Varying line weight alone can help create a sense of volume. Also, add some blacks like the black used for the border. It'll help to give an added punch. That aside, you may want to look closely at various mangas to see how mangakas themselves handle working in only black and white with tones.
