Changing Hair Color in Photoshop Without Making It Look Like a Halloween Wig

A client once asked me to change a model’s hair from auburn to blonde in a product photo. I said sure, no problem, charged them accordingly, and then spent the better part of an afternoon producing what looked like a highlighter had exploded on her head. I eventually delivered something passable, but I knew I was winging it. Hair color is one of those things that looks simple until you try it, and then it humbles you fast.
