App Profile: Hairstyle Try On

I've also looked for something like this a long time. What I found in the past in websites were too difficult to use. It was very easy to upload my pic and get at it. The group of free hairstyles, in my opinion, are very hoakie. It perturbed me that I was going to have to buy more styles, ( I hate being manipulated). With that said, after buying them, I've enjoyed it. I wish they had more medium and long length styles. I love though that you can change the colors and move the hair around to make it look better. You can also flip it and change a part from one side to the other. Really like it a lot.

This app is great if you are looking to get an idea of how a different hairstyle or color would look on your face. For people who say that the hair doesn’t fit, you can fine-tune each one by moving the hair around with your finger. It could use an update with some more newer styles, but it does have a lot (if you pay—but it’s not bad, see below). The hair color options are tricky and not perfect, but it is fine for getting an idea if you are considering a change. After looking at some AI apps, and feeling very uncomfortable with the lack of privacy (read the app descriptions before buying—they can access your personal info if they want), I was happy to find this developer, who does NOT take any of your info. Another plus is that the app does not distort your face or add make up or do anything weird like that like AI apps. My only complaint is that it sometimes closes the image before I’m done making edits and saving it because it’s too easy to tap an area that closes the image. A button to tap when you’re done would be better. It’s not going to give you a perfectly realistic image to use for a headshot or a dating app, but if you just want to see before you get a haircut, this is great!! I don’t know if this offer is always an effect, but it’s also a great in-app deal to buy all of the extra packages for only $5.

This app was easy to use and worked great right away—within five minutes I had taken my photo and tried on a bunch of styles. The free styles offered give a wide variety of looks, and you can buy a bunch more for very little if you want. I didn’t have to wade through any ads. It was just so straightforward—just what I wanted. And a little to my surprise, it really did help me visualize what I might look like with lots of different styles. It’s also easy to save individual styles to Notes, iCloud sharing, etc, so now I have a personalized Note with all my favorites. I wasn’t planning to buy any of the extra packages, but I did, mostly to say “thanks” to the developer for such a useful and well-designed app. After using this one for a while, I downloaded a few other free apps and none of them could touch this one in terms of straightforwardness, ease of use, and helpfulness in imagining what new styles would look like on me. Thanks for such a well-deigned app!
