2. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation and apply a Hue layer on your composition. Tick the “Colorize” option and use the sliders to select the new color of your hair. In this case we’ve chosen a light red.

3. Now paint the Hue/Saturation layer black (using the Bucket tool), grab the Pencil tool and changing to white, start painting over the hair areas. You can paint the whole of it or just a few locks, resizing the brush accordingly.
