I remember the moment clearly when I decided on a whim during a lunch break to chop off my flowing long blonde locks to achieve the Sienna Miller hairstyle chop a la Edie Sedgwick―big mistake. If only I had the irstyle Makeover iPhone app (99 cents) to virtually try on the trendy short hairstyle first, it would have saved myself a lot of heartache and a year of growing my hair back out.
Now with this kick-butt makeover iPhone app that is like a virtual dressing room of hairstyles, ladies and men can try on all different cuts and colors without the commitment. With the Redo iPhone app, test out a short jet black Posh Beckham hairstyle or blonde locks that would make Hugh Hefner blush. You can even email the photos to friends and family to collect opinions before heading off the salon.
For best results, take a photo with your hair pulled back in a ponytail to use with the iPhone app. If you have an iPhone, you can take a photo straight from the app. Those who have an iTouch will need to download a photo to their device or use the model photo provided (less fun). That way, your light hair won’t stand out when you try on a darker hairstyle or vice versa. For a more dramatic effect, couple this hairstyle makeover iPhone app with the beautifying effects of the Photo Makeover iPhone app and really give yourself a virtual lift.
Don’t forget to take it with you to the hair salon so you can discuss the selected cut and color with your stylist.
