Removing hair via PS

For the World's Greatest Shave (Leukaemia Foundation), I, along with other colleagues, are going to have our heads shaved - don't worry, I will be hitting all forum members up for a donation.

As part of our promotion of the event, we will be sending out photos of us and we want to photoshop the photos to make it look as if we have already had our head shaved (I hope that makes sense).

Does anyone know of any decent (doesn't have to look pro) techniques for removing a head of hair and replacing it with a shiny top? I know I can clone, but there won't be a lot to clone from.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

We did this last year for my shave for a cure, if we can dig up the thread, a few people made some decent versions.. Leigh included.

Thanks Craig, although I was more after techniques that I can try on PS.

But, I know it was a year ago, well done on the fund raising.

I will post details soon about our efforts.

On ya Pat! I was considering doing this to, but in both my jobs I'd scare my clients to death or to run away if I shaved my head :)

I'm sure Leigh will be able to offer some help.

Well, I am concerned that going all bald may discourage clients from handing over all the cash to us :lol:
