To cut out hair in Photoshop — or any other tricky objects with tons of minuscule details — was my personal disaster when I just started. But practice and perseverance do their job, so I’m going to show you how to make it easier.

I have tried many hacks and tips and, guess, I’ve finally come to the winning solution. Have tested it everywhere: from simple shapes (like the ones of fruit and seashells) to the hair, at last. And I’ll now gladly show you how to obtain the desired result without taking any risks or losing your time. Follow the tutorial step by step, cut out the hair and pass to something even more complicated.
