changing color of hair?

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to realisticly change the color of
hair in a photo. I would like to change this guys light brown hair to
dark black (like Asian). I have played around with selective color
adjusting, masking, etc but can't seem to get the right effect. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Maybe a dark brown soft-edged brush on color mode, low transparency,
multiple strokes being careful to not stray 'outside the lines'. Can get
some more contrast into the hair by burning shadows and dodging highlights
too...

Great for tarting up your mates!!

in CS use the colour replacement tool

in v7 select area, copy to new layer, use Select menu colour range,
adjust the opacity.
