Hi, i want to remove the background on a photo, but this photo has a problem, the hair has spikes, and i want to keep them, but with the traditional methods (simple selection, magic wand, quick mask, etc) i cant get it right. :(

Does anyone knows any other way of doing this

YOU STOLE MY HAIR STYLE!!!!!

Well anyway, considering the situation there really is no easy way to do it, just gotta take out a lot of time and have the patience to do it manually. Sorry man.

You're just gonna have to bite the bullet and do this in Photoshop, with a mask, and be meticulous. Otherwise, you'll continue to be unhappy with the overall look, as the hair will never look quite right.

It's a pain, granted, but much of graphic design is. Either you love it, or you find a different profession ;)
