How to change hair color with Photoshop

Photoshop Tutorial

How to change hair color



To change hair color. First open any image that you like.
There are many ways to change hair color but I will show you the most easiest and reliable way


After Adding image make its duplicate layer by selecting the orignal layer and go to Layer and then select duplicate layer


Now select the layer duplicate layer
 


Yup just like this

Now select some  some parts of hair that you want to edit. TO select them use“Edit in Quick Mask Mode” {Quick Mask}
 which is located at the bottom of your toolbar,



 and then, using the brush, paint over the portion of hair you want to modify. 


You should end up with something like this

After doing this press "Q"
or click on “Edit in Quick Mask Mode” {Quick Mask} button again, to exit the quick mask mode. The result is a selection of the whole picture, except the parts you want to color. You should remember this as the tool is used a lot in Photoshop.





The next step is to select the hair only. In order to do that, go to the “Select” menu and click on “Inverse”.Just like this




To change the hair color in a reliable way, we will create a new layer from the selection. Press ctrl+c to copy the selection and ctrl+v to paste it in a new layer.



With your new layer selected, go to the “Image” menu, “Adjustments” sub-menu and click on “Hue/Saturation…”.



Play with the sliders until you have the desired color. Remember to check the Colorize button. We recommend choosing an intense color shade.



Now its done.But if you want to lighten the effect then 

change the blending mode of the newly-dyed hair to


“Lighten” or change your opacity as much as you like

 and then its done. Have a look.
