What's going on with the mouth? Are you making his mouth open? If so, I think he needs more chin sculpted I think.
Something that helps when sculpting Yamcha's hair is to do it from a 3/4 angle like this and then figure out how to make it look right from the front, and then try to make it look right from the side while it is still moist enough to do so. If you don't, just like Goku's hair, you can end up with hair that only looks good from the front.
The reason I mention this is because the Gohan head you're using had that exact problem when Irwin made it. It looked ok from the front, but when you looked at him from the side, it was like... what happened here? So I don't want you to fall into that trap. I think you've already planned for how it will look from the side a little bit, but it's something to constantly check. I think you might be falling into the trap of making it look like Bandai SBC Vol 8 Gohan's hair, which isn't very accurate for Gohan or Yamcha.
This picture I've created for you and attached should help you see some problems, the biggest of which is the lack of "lump" on the back of his head. I covered up the eyes because the giant pupils are distracting lol. I'm really critical of Yamcha customs since he's my favorite character, so I wanted you to see what's happening here. Basically, you're doing a good job, but you aren't using enough clay. I've made a comparison to the anime for Saiyan Saga as well as a Toriyama drawing for Frieza saga when his hair was even longer and bushier.
