Evidently you've got all sorts of silly rules in your mind about what not to do when composing a portrait. Let's begin with cropping.
It's absolutely okay to crop a person's hands, legs, hair, hat, body, and so on. You're not going to be able to compose a tight portrait or headshot without cropping, so you just have to accept that and move on.
Don't leave background space above your model's head. We're going to fill the frame with our subject. That means her head will most certainly be against the top of frame, in fact we'll go even father and we're going to crop some of her hair. That's how professionals compose their closeups and headshots.
Composition - when you're filling the frame with your subject in a portrait or headshot, the rule of thirds doesn't apply. Forget rule of thirds, just look up some portraits from Vogue or GQ or ELLE and you'll see lots of examples and ideas to inspire you.
