  Go to "Select >Inverse" and then hit delete. Remove the eye (see the yellow circle) next to your original photo so that it is now invisible. You should be left with a plain hairless you.
  
  

Preparing the Hairstyle Photos

• 1). Make sure all your photographs are the same size as your headshot. Adjust the photo sizes and the pixels so that every image is interchangeable.

  Open your first photograph. Use the magnet tool and trace the hair.Then go to "Select>Inverse" and hit delete. You should be left with just the hair and a transparent background.
  
  
• 3). Repeat the above process as many times as you have hair styles you would like to try.

  Pull each hairstyle into its own layer. Now you can move back and forth using the eye on the left to see how the styles look.

  There you have it, a new you. Should Zoe go blonde? Maybe, maybe not, but the preview sure is fun and takes a bit of the fright out of trying something new, which is always a good thing.
