Change Your Hairstyle And Color In Minutes…Virtually

March 25, 2009

I tried a completely new look – different hairstyle and different color – in just minutes! And it wasn’t even permanent. How? I tried out a virtual makeover. I’ve seen them around, but never checked them out. I always thought they looked a little goofy. They still aren’t perfect, but they do give you a fairly good idea of how something will look on you.

Once I discovered that I could try it for free (so important to me!), I decided to have some fun! You can choose models that look similar to you or you can upload your own picture for the virtual makeover. You don’t just play with your hairstyle and color, but also your makeup, which gives you a good idea of how all the colors work together.

The virtual makeover that I tried was at goodhousekeeping.com. Here is my before and after! (Sorry for poor pic quality!)

What do you think? It’s not too bad. It would be much better if I had a pic with my hair up and back. Of course, I like the new hair, but my real hair is so much thinner than the virtual hair!

There are other virtual makeover sites, such as dailymakeover.com and instyle.com . You can try one of those or find another one on your own. Try out some new things today!

What changes are you trying?
