Today, I will be walking you through how to create a neon hair portrait effect in Adobe Photoshop! You will learn a little-known trick for getting the perfect neon glow, as well as how to bring an all-over vibrancy and brightness to a portrait. The best part is, two simple color adjustment layers are going to do most of the work for you! I have them available for download below!

We are aiming for a punk-rock pop art vibe for this portrait effect, so there's no holding back on color in this particular image! But feel free to experiment with darker or even monochromatic looks. With a few small tweaks, you could even use this technique to achieve the perfect fire or "inner" glow effect. I stumbled upon this effect entirely by accident years ago, so I can't wait to see everyone play with it!

In this video, I am using Photoshop CC, on a PC along with a Wacom Intuos Tablet.
