Cheers but can you give a bit more detail do you mean just cut out the hair with the lasso tool? When you say change the colour I assume you dont mean just use paint brush, so how do I alter it exactly? Sorry bit of a novice here

don't have access at the moment ..

It'd be something like image -> color & saturation ... click the colorize button and play with the bars that are there

At a basic level yes .. just use the lasso tool ... and select the bits of hair you want ... get rid of the rest ...

You can also do it freehand with the brush tool, select OVERLAY in the MODE drop-down or, if you understand the additive/subtractive effects of colours, you could try the COLOUR and/or HUE options at the bootom of the same menu.

The brush colouryou select is obviously the one that matters, though I think the background colour also has some effect. I don't understand it all, I'm a little bit self-taught and haven't quite got my head around it all yet.

Good luck
