How do I remove unwanted object from side of head?

[Jay Fora]

Hi, I am almost completely new to photo editing. I have looked at the tools, and descriptions of what they do, but am none the wiser about how to use them to answer my question. The subject in the photo has hair tied back, and due to a sudden breeze, a large piece of hair is sticking out of one side like a fin at the side of the head. The background is a uniform colour. Could someone tell me how to remove the 'fin' so that only the background colour remains, please?

In terms of learning how to use paint.net, has anyone kindly put a book together, preferably in print, or printable, with step by step lessons on how to use this software?

Or can anyone suggest a list of tutorials to start with, that would be like a home classroom for me please?

Thank you, Jay
