I was working on an image I realized I wanted to crop it a bit wider and realized I have some fly away hair problems.

Does anyone have some tips and tricks they can share?

Thanks

P.S. here is the image in question if that helps

Yes, it a bit difficult on blond hair unless I am missing something.

you must be because flyways are usually lighter than the rest of the flow

That's how I'd retouch the crossing hairs on your image - if you mean the ones against the BG - clone in normal going over the image and then mask the edge back.

Yes the crossing hair, I was starting with the hard work first LOL

New layer in darken, clone stamp in darken and a lot of work - still not exactly getting what I want...
