Here's how I'd do it:
Use the lasso tool to select the hair. It's easiest to do this in incriments. Hold the shift key to do this. Then hit ctrl-c, then ctrl-v on your keyboard (commnd-c, commnd-v for mac) to put a copy in a new layer. Then to to image<adjustments<hue and saturation. Slide the saturation down most of the way, so that there's a v. little bit of colour, but not much. Because even white hair will have colour from the surrounding light. Then go to image<adjustments<brightness/contrast and mess with those until it looks about right.
You can also use your burn/dodge tools (which look like a lollypop or a hand) to make adjustments.
If that wasn't clear, let me know and I'll try to help!
