    Take a clear photo of your face.

    To use the digital makeover capabilities provided by online sites, you need to upload a clear, high resolution image of your face. Have a photo taken using your digital camera with your hair pulled back without makeup. Since you'll be trying on different hairstyles, you want your head to be as bare as possible.

    Start experimenting.

    Once you've uploaded your photo, the fun begins. Most sites will allow you to try a variety of makeup colors and effects. Keep an open mind and try them all. You may discover a color you didn't know you could wear. Explore a variety of hairstyles and colors. Have you always wanted to be a redhead? Here's your opportunity to see how you'd look. You can even try accessories such as sunglasses, colored contacts, and hats on many of these sites.

  4. Step 4

    Print out your best look.

    Once you find a look you like, print it out so you can show it to your hairdresser. Keep in mind that even though a hair style looks good on you, it may not work with your hair texture. You can also use the makeup colors as a guideline when you next shop for cosmetics. Isn't it fun getting a makeover online for free?
