There’s this site MakeoverSolutions.com where you upload a photo of your face, and then you can try out a new hairstyle by selecting which celebrity’s hair you would like to have. You use a photo of your face with your hair pulled back, and then you adjust little dots and lines that appear over your photo to make your eyes more symmetrical (yeah, my eyes? totally crooked) and to “plot” the corners of your eyes and lips so that the hairstyles you choose line up correctly. Then, the site suggests hairstyles you might want to try based on the shape of your face.
My first batch of suggestions were all men’s hairstyles. Thanks for the self-esteem boost there.
But I persisted. I signed up for the free part of the site, which has a limited number of hairstyles available. But I’m considering signing up for the all-access account, which is only $14.95 for three months, and lets you do things like try on different shades of makeup, see what your teeth would look like after whitening, try on hats and jewelry, and upload your makeovers to a gallery where other people can vote on them.
So now I just spent about an hour trying on different hairstyles, in different colors, and the more I look, the more I can’t decide which one I like! So here’s a few, what’s your opinion?
My husband thinks I should have long hair. Here’s a choppy hairstyle instead, in a color called natural dark blonde:
Here’s me as a brunette. I’m not thrilled about this one.
Long, straight, and very blonde:
Here’s me with Catherine Zeta-Jones’ hair! Yeah, no. Not without a full-time hairstylist on call:
And this is just from the free part of the site. With the access account, I could be trying on eyeshadow, lipstick, hats, jewelry-literally hundreds of thousands of combos. The Makeover Gallery has looks that others have uploaded and is fun to browse. So what do you think? Who wants to make me over? I’m open to suggestions!
The first one, the natural dark blonde one, looks the best out of what you put up.
Kat-The color itself, or the style too? I’m a terrible judge of what looks good on me! Thanks for the feedback
I like the first one as well. both the color and the cut!! Looks really good!!:)
The cive whole changes in appearance!
Sorry..I mean the style and colour changes everything. I don’t know how the above comment got like that!
Definitely #1.

I like you the way you are.
Though I know Tover would give birth to a bovine, I think the first style and color would look adorable on you. On my screen the color is slightly redish, too, which I don’t think I’ve seen you try yet and I’ve got to say strawberry blond looks great on you with this picture! And that whole short choppy hairstyle is way wicked cute! And seriously, how easy would it be, right? Tell Tover if he’ll spend two hours standing upright in the bathroom any time before he needs to leave the house for a month, you’ll consider growing your hair straight.
Yours turned out better than mine. I didn’t even want to show anyone my pictures! I have a really hard time knowing what works and what doesn’t, so I’m not going to be any help.
LOL! Love the first hair style! I need to try that with me and my naturally very very curly hair! LOL!!1
Becky-Thanks! My husband vetoed the haircut though. He insists that he likes my hair long. I am, however, going to see about getting some layers cut around the front and sides. I’m not sure about the color yet, depends on what my stylist has available.
Graham-Me neither, but thanks for the comment anyway!
Ree-Thanks! My husband did not agree, however
