Q. What
TYPES OF HAIRSTYLES does the Hairstyle Changer offer?
A. Practically
every kind, from conservative to wild, from punk to red carpet! Both Women and Men can select any combination of long, medium or short lengths, in wavy, straight or curly textures. Women can also choose Casual or Formal, and Updo varieties. Venture to the edge with "Alt" styles (a huge section of
emo, scene, goth and more)! There's plenty of
celebrity hairstyles in every category (all your favorites like Rihanna, Jennifer Aniston, David Beckham, Selena Gomez, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus and many others). With 4000+ designs and dozens of colors, the combinations are
endless!

Q. Can I set an AUTOMATIC HAIR COLOR for all hairstyles to appear in as I try them on?
A. Yes, plus the Catalog itself! Click the "Hair Color" icon in the left control panel to access the color chart (see images at left) and use this time-saving feature, which will also display the entire Catalog Gallery in your selected hue on a model of your choice (you can have those Emo styles come up purple as soon as you click them). You can also switch colors on the fly or revert back to non-default -- and even change highlight colors with the Highlights Chooser (see right).
Q. Is it possible to SAVE a finished image for retrieval later?
A. Just select "Save to Favs" on the lower left panel. Favorites can be viewed (click the icon on the left panel), added or deleted in seconds, and you can print, or share your images three different ways.
How to Set Automatic Hair Color for 4000+ Styles
The
Auto-Color feature is easy to use. Just choose a default hair color from the chart, and the catalog gallery instantly updates. It works for all types of styles for both women and men. Reverting to original color for the style you're trying on will also show the original colors of the styles in the gallery. Mouseover any gallery thumbnail to reveal the original photo plus information.
It's free!
Q. What type
PHOTO OF MYSELF should I use, and how do I
upload my picture to my private gallery?
A. Use a head-and-shoulders photo, looking directly at the camera, with your hair pulled back from your face, and ears uncovered -- this way you can try on any type of hairstyle! Make sure your snapshot is focused, clear and well-lit. A plain white background works best.
To upload: Log onto your account and click the "Add Photo" icon in the left panel (jpg format, at least 200 x 250 pixels, and less than 1 Mb). The Hairstyle Changer includes a
photo editor to optimize your picture; the adjustment controls at the bottom lets you fine-tune the positioning if needed.
Q. In the
Makeup Palettes, how do I get the
LIPSTICK and EYE MAKEUP to fit perfectly on my photo?
A. Click the "Align" tab on the Makeup panel and use the
tracing tools (see image at left). Tracing is not needed for the
Blush and
Foundation.
Q. Can I upload
MORE THAN ONE VERSION of my photo?
A. Yes! As a member you can upload as many snapshots of yourself as you like, and switch back and forth (i.e., with or without glasses and jewelry, different facial expressions, etc.)
Q. I'm a guy. How do I see
hairstyles for MEN?
A. Click "Change Models," pick "Male," or upload your own picture. Then click the "Hairstyles" icon, choose
"Men's Hairstyles," then click "Continue," and pick the textures and lengths you want, click "Show Results" (or use the "Try On" icon in the hairstyles information area, outside the Changer).
Q. Will
MORE hairstyles be added?
A. Great new styles of all types are added
regularly!

It's an online hair color app with 4000+ hairstyles!
Q. Does the catalog include any
RETRO hair looks from the past?

vintage hair designs from The Roaring 20s onward, including rolled bangs, 'pin-up girl' looks, 1930s bouncy waves, poodle updos, 1940s Hollywood cascades, bobs, pixies and so many more. You'll love seeing yourself in these legendary
retro hairstyles -- get ideas for weddings and other formal events! There's over 190 unforgettable classic hairstyles in the catalog -- and of course, the hair color palette includes

Q. Can the Changer AUTOMATICALLY find the best hairstyles -- and hair colors -- for my FACE?
A. Certainly! Access Wizard mode by clicking "Hair Consultations" -- and in moments, try hairstyles & colors based on your face shape, eye color, skin tone, desired length and other specifics you enter (wear glasses?). For guys, too! There's also options for updo and formal -- the Wizard even matches styles to the formal dress you'll be wearing (spaghetti straps? lace? asymmetrical?...). The Changer can alter the suggestions any way you like!
Q. Where do I choose MODELS until I upload my own photo?
A. On the left panel, click "Change Model" and select male or female (see images at right). And when you upload, remember that you can add multiple versions of yourself!
Q. What if I have more QUESTIONS or need HELP?
A. For help anytime, click the blue "Help" button in the left panel -- there's also a customer service department ready to assist you. Most styles also include styling steps for home perms. You'll find that the Hairstyle Changer is a snap to use -- have a blast and get in touch with your inner corporate president (or punk rocker)!
