Step 2:
                 On your Layer Box locate on right side of your panel click the Create New Layer. Why you need layer? So that you can put color into your hair. Now after clicking the Create New Layer there will be appeared name Layer 1 as default. We will use that layer for putting 1 color only.

Step 3:  On the layer box find the word Normal located above the Layer 1 then click the word normal. Then a list will appear then select Color.

Step 4: Now your Tool Box select Brush then on your color pallete select color that you want to add up into your hair. See this image below.

Step 5:
                Click Brush Type located below on your menu bar. For me i selected Soft Round 45 Pixels. When you try to ask whats this?  45 Its a brush size then Soft is a kind of brush. Dont select Hard brush. This will not look reality when putting colors into your hair.






















Step 6:
               You can now put color into your hair. In this photo its a wavey kind of hair. So i followed the direction of her hair when brushing goes down. Be sure you're selecting the Brush Tool then Layer 1 is highlighted. That Layer 1 is a container of that 1 color only. You can also put more colors on that layer but its not appropriate it must be separated into another layer so that you can easily manage the colors when u have changes but before that follow this step first.

Step 7:
                 Before we can add up more colors we will now rename the Layer 1 into what color you have selected. Right Click Layer 1 then select Layer Properties i named this as "Light Blue Left". It depends on you how you name it.For me i've selected a color Light Blue so i named when it regards to the color i've selected. See this picture below for renaming the Layer. Reminder dont combine another color in this layer. That Layer 1 is a container of that 1 color only. Later we will make another layer for another color.

Step 8:
                 After naming the Previous Layer into "Light Blue Left". I have created another Layer for another color. Because i decided to put another color to look more attractive when blending more colors. Creating new Layer is same process with the Step 2. And you can directly name this to what color you have selected.Follow this image below for creating new Layer.
