For some editors, it may be easier to start your hair color with brown, but changing it to a realistic blonde color may be a challenge! This tutorial shows you how to change it quickly and easily.

The program I used is Photoshop, however, there are similar features in most other programs

Step 1
Select your hair layer with the selection tool


Step 2
Go to enhance on the task menu and click Auto Contrast


Step 3
Go to enhance again then adust color ---> Hue/Saturation and Click on the Colorize tick. This will turn your hair a redish color


Step 4
Change the hue, saturation and lightness. I used Hue 45, Saturation 33, Lightness 40. Levels may vary depending on the darkness and color of the brown.


The same results occur when starting with black and red as well
Also... if it comes out a little off... go to enhance brightness/contrast and play with the levels... less saturation after this will make a lighter blonde.

Hope this helps!
