This step will add some color variation to the hair. Choose a green/cyan color (#50a596) and with a brush at 40% Opacity paint over her hair in some areas. Select the Dodge Tool and lighten up some strands of hair.Ĭreate yet another layer and change the layer blending mode to Overlay. I’ve chosen a magenta color to match with her dress.Ĭreate a new layer from all the visible layers (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E). Once you’re done fill the layer mask with black and paint with white over the hair. But let’s make some further adjustments.Īdd a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer and drag the slider to the left or right until you find a color that you like. And voila, we changed the color of her hair. Now choose a red color (#ff0000) and with a brush at 50% Opacity paint over the hair. Do the same thing with the layer mask as you did at step 2 (fill the layer mask with black and paint with white over the hair).Ĭreate a new layer (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N) and change it’s blending mode to Overlay. Drag the saturation slider to the left in order to decrease the saturation. Add a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer by going to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation. In a layer mask white reveals the layer and black conceals so by painting with white over the hair we will limit the Curves Adjustment layer effect only to it. Now with a round soft brush paint with white where the hair is.

Select the layer mask by clicking on it and press Ctrl + Backspace to fill the layer mask with black. Because we want this to be applied only to the hair let’s mask the effect elsewhere. Add a new Curves Adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves) and drag the curve up a little. Let’s increase the brightness of the hair a little bit.
