Change Hair Color 17

Have you ever wondered how you can change the color of someone’s hair in a picture using photoshop? This is the ultimate and extremely easy solution!

1. Open a picture in photoshop (I used a picture from this site to start with).

2. Make the skin look nicer and give her a tanned color with this tutorial tutorial so she looks like this!

3. Use your polygonal lasso tool to select the hair of the woman on the picture you chose and when you’ve selected it like this, copy it (edit – copy) and create a layer (layer – new layer) and paste it on the new layer (edit – paste).

4. We are now ready to change the hair color on the new layer! This is done by changing the color (image – adjustements – hue/saturation)! Be sure the check the colorize box!

5. And this is how it looks when you compare the pictures (you should also use the blur tool to blur the edges of the hair to make it look nicer)!

    I’ve seen many better ways to re-touch hair and this really disappoints me.

  2. Adman says:

    I get what you’re saying Ciara, but my purpose was to make it very simple, and yes, it doesn’t looks as good as some other tutorials, but it does the job!

    Wonderfull!

    I don’t think people should leave negative comments, it takes a lot of courage to post a tutorial up and no one forced them to view the tutorial to begin with. Frankly, I’ve tried the other tutorials for changing hair color and had a miserable time with them! Thank you for sharing, you did a lovely job!

  6. Kikki says:

    I agree with “Bethokumura”, I think this tutorial is awesome! Its very easy and since I am a beginner it is nice to see that some people still think about us beginners… Thanks for sharing it helped a lot!

    No matter what one does there will always be those who criticize. Ofcourse, they don’t do anything constructive themselves because they don’t want be to criticized. One just has to ignore these malcontents!

    Nice tutorial! Although can you tell me how I can be more precise with the polygonal lasso tool? It’s so hard to outline everything so perfectly accurate, is there an easier way than to click 1000 times to form the perimeter?

  10. Admin says:

    You should zoom in and then you’re able to this without a lot of problems… And it doesn’t have to be precise at all! I guess I clicked about 20-30 times… If you think this takes too much of your time you should google for other hair changing tutorials, there are a lot of others offering help… This is just a quick hair changing tutorial, sorry ;) !

    I downloaded this, but it did not work. It just goes to the girl with the purple hair. How do I do this?

  13. Admin says:

    You have to follow the tutorial, the .psd file is just an example of the finished project…

    kindest regards.
