How to remove wall shadow from a head shot?

[Udar Gromov]

I would like to collect here a few ideas how to easily remove a shadow from a portrait picture.

The biggest problem here is hair. It is very difficult to dray a border between the shadow and the head around all the hair.

In Photoshop I would explore
(01) masking and
(02) magic eraser.

Frustrating part about this, that even books and videos, they are making this task to look easy, but when I try to do it – I either can’t follow, or I am getting a completely unsatisfactory results.
