Lesson 25 of 39Portrait Retouching: Body

Hair

Fix hair part lines, adjust volume, refine hairlines, and control flyaways.

Article· 5 min

Hair tools address the most common hair complaints in portraits: visible part lines, flat volume, receding hairlines, and flyaways. These adjustments save significant time versus manual cloning and healing brush work.

How to do it

  1. Hair Part Line: reduces the visibility of the scalp along the hair part. Adjust intensity with the slider.

  2. Volume Adjustments: increases or decreases perceived hair volume and body.

  3. Hairline: refines the hairline edge, useful for smoothing baby hairs or cleaning up a receding hairline.

  4. Use Manual Tuning for precise control over specific areas.

Try it

Open a portrait with visible scalp along the hair part. Apply Hair Part Line at 50%, then add subtle Volume to compensate for any thinness. Compare before/after.

Watch out for

  • Hair Part Line correction can blur adjacent hair texture if applied too aggressively.

  • Hairline adjustments on profiles (side views) are less effective than on front-facing shots.
