    I tend to crop [make a clipping path around the whole figure] as close as I can, cut it out [separate from the background so the model is on her own layer] and set the layer to 'multiply' then duplicate that layer and put it below [the cut-out] then fill it with white and then go in close and clean up the lose strands [fly-aways as we say] on the layer of white and then you end up with the models hair sitting more naturally on the coloured background...

    it takes a bit longer but it produces more natural results, if you follow this method of madness...
