Easiest way, imo, would be to grab the polygonal lasso tool, zoom in to 1000% and go around her outside. There are other ways, but thats just as easy (And easier to explain) .

what do i do after I lasso it?

also, it doesn't seem very accurate this way :S

am I doing it wrong?

[Spluff]

That is the most accurate way . Have you zoomed in fully?

You can also use the pen tool to cut it out, basically rendering. Pen tool will definantly give you best results.
