You'd have to show a sample.

You could always attempt to clean it up using your image editing program.

Be advised that sharing a RAW file here will prevent most people from being able to see the image as it takes special software to open it.

I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but you should always check your scene before pressing the shutter button. This could have been easily prevented.

Good luck with the fix.

If things were this easy there would be no need for pro photographers, eh?

Depends on the tools available and what exactly you want to fix. In the context of some other ideas, this u-tube at 10:36 in gives a spot-heal example to remove some stray hairs.

Just saw the photo, if just the hair around the child's head, LR can do this pretty quick using a clone from the black background. So can DPP but it tends to be a tougher task.

The easiest way is to reshoot the work. It would be a lot less work than trying to make the hair look natural.

The hair looks natural to me. What is distracting to me is the white from the back of her neck and the pattern in the background. I did no post processing only cropped. Forgive me if I was out of line.

I am assuming you talking a black hair on the females face. That run across her eyebrow's and check, into her lips.

yep :(

With what I know. It would take hours of work, in that her upper lip is almost none distinguishable from her skin tone.
Her head hair is running threw her eyebrows and eye.

I tried the air brush, clone. dodge and burning. It's out of my league. I'll play with as I go along.

I like the look of the image.
Red filter or post-processing technique?
I do like the other poster's crop better.
The hair doesn't bother me at all, looks very natural.
