Step 3
Turn on the Colorize option in this Hue/Saturation panel. Then drag the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness slider until you get the hair color you want to be. The whole image will change to this adjustment, but don’t mind it right now, because we will adjust it’s range later.

    After Step 4, the iage doesen´t change back to its original colors. What am I doing wrong? I´ve double checked that i have followed all the steps correctly..

    • @patrick: When we fill a black color on a layer mask, its layer will be hidden. Black=hide; White=reveal. If you have fill the mask with black color, it’s should be hide the hue/saturation.
      Alternatively, from step 1; you can duplicate the background layer, make adjustment by Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation on the background copy layer (don’t use the Adjustment panel). Then select Layer > Layer Mask > Hide All.
      Continue to step 5.

    once i do the brush, it just goes on black. what am i doing wrong?

    • @al: Make sure you follow the 4 and 5 steps correctly. It may become black when the brush stroked on the layer itself, not on the layer mask as described in the step 4 and 5.

    To make the hair colour change look realistic change the layer option from “normal” to “overlay”
