- Add a solid colour fill layer under the cut-out, in a bright colour that clashes with the original background.
- Zoom to 200% on the hair or the softest edge.
- Switch the fill between bright and near-black. Halos show up against one or the other.
- If you see fringing, try Enhance Edge or Decontaminate Colors, then repeat the check.
Keep the fill layer hidden in the file. The next person to edit it will thank you.
