this photo is better than the first one I looked at but at the same time I would move the light to allow it to hit the top of her hair and spill down.

Another thing I would do is move your lights closer to your subject. I know you don't have control over the amount of light but I would bring the lights just a little closer.

I think you have too much light on the hair and not the face. The most important part of almost any portrait is the face.

Don't get me wrong, the light on the hair is still good but you just need to move some light to her face. I would also adjust the light from hitting the back of her head to make it hit the top of her head and let it spill down onto the rest of her hair and shoulders.

Also I think your white balance is off some. Try adjusting it to somewhere around 5300k.
