Things You'll Need:
- Internet connection
- Digital head shot that can be uploaded to your computer
-
Step 1
Upload the picture of you to your computer. It should be a head-on picture that shows you from your shoulders up. You can be smiling or not, but your face and body should not be contorted. A color picture is best and it helps to have your own hair pulled back. Save the picture to your desktop as a .jpg file so that it will be easy to find.
-
Step 2
Select a website for your virtual hair styling. Some sites are just for fun and do not do a very good job of making the hairstyle look like it is actually on your head. Others, which are used by professional photographers and stylists, can make your picture look as if you really have that hairstyle. The best sites may require a membership or service fee, while the less refined ones are usually free. A good free site is Knowage Virtual Hairstyles.
-
Step 3
You might want to go from long to short, or blond to pinkStart experimenting with cuts. Most virtual sites will let you select a cut and then position it on your head. You can adjust it so that the cut matches your own hairline.
-
Step 4
Play with colors. You may be able to select a cut and a color separately, or the site may offer multiple versions of the same cut in different colors. Keep changing the look until you find one you really like.
-
Step 5
Save your favorite virtual hairstyles. You may be able to email the images to yourself or print them directly from your computer. You can use these images for enjoyment or take them with you next time you get your hair styled.
