Using the "quick mask" tool to change a color

Question

Good Day All
I am a wee bit confused. I wanted to show someone a way to change hair color in Photoshop CS5. Using the method I have used in CS4 I did the following.
In CS%, I clicked on the brush tool and then on the “quick mask” tool. Stared painting in the area I wanted to change. When I clicked to take off the quick mask tool, the paining I had done disappeared. That was it. In CS4 when I turned off the quick mask tool I would get an outline if the mask.
Is there a setting I am missing or has CS5 changed how this works?
Thanks All

Thank you Mylenium....
Here is more information.....
These are the steps I do and the changes that take place
1) Select the brush tool
2) Select quick mask. When I do this, on the layers panel, the background layer is not highlighted
On the bottom left hand side the “set foreground & back ground color changes from (foreround) black to gray and the background color stays white
3) Paint (it is red) the area I want to change and click on the quick mask.
The red where I painted disappears, and the outline is not showing. On the layers panel on the right hand side is now highlighted and on the bottom left hand side the set foreground color changes to black.
4) If I click on the quick mask, the painted area comes back.
I located the “quick mask” under the tab channels. It is displayed as a separate channel. When I turn off the quick mask, the quick mask channel disappears. When I turn on the quick mask, the quick mask channel reappears….
Do I have something set wrong
