Alright, the hair tutorial is up! This is undoubtedly what I get the most questions about--how to color hair--so I hope this is kind of what people were looking for. I also included how I color black and white hair, as I did get some requests for a tutorial on how to do that. :heart: Be forewarned, as always, that my style is not meant to be completely realistic and that I *do* use the Dodge/Burn tools quite liberally with hair. If that's not a style you like, then this tutorial may not be all that helpful for you. Also, this is a continuation of the last two tutorials, Skin [link] and Eyes [link] If you don't know what the Dodge/Burn tools are, you might want to look at the Eye tutorial (where I introduce those tools). This tutorial also assumes you have a basic understanding of Photoshop and what layers are. Again, this is done in Photoshop CS but you can also use Photoshop 5.0-7.0 with the same tools and effects.

Hope you enjoy! :heart:

If only I had a tablet I could attempt this properly - alas there is no tablet for me and I stink at using the mouse.

Great tutorial by the way! I enjoy all of your tutorials so far! Keep em coming!!!

We don't love "because", but "despite".

This is why there is no such thing as perfect. A flawless beauty would be blank without any appeal nor character. Its scars are what defines it and what inspires emotion... from that moment, it becomes art.
