Finding a hairstyle that suits your face shape and personal style is easier than ever thanks to dedicated apps. These applications don't tell you the single perfect hairstyle, but rather allow you to virtually try on many different looks using your own photo. This way, you can visually compare options and decide which ones you think suit you best.
Several apps are designed for this purpose, offering various features and numbers of styles. According to recent comparisons, some popular options include:
| App | OS | Available Hairstyles | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Perfect Hairstyle for Men | iOS | 400+ (male) | Specifically for men |
| FaceApp 🥉 | iOS / Android | 20+ (female/male) | Wide range of edits |
| Perfect365 | iOS / Android | 30+ (female) | Also a makeup app |
| Hair Makeover - Modiface | Android | 600+ (female/male) | Extensive style library |
Note: Availability of styles and features may vary based on app updates and versions.
How These Apps Help You Find Your Look
These apps work by allowing you to upload a clear photo of yourself. Then, they utilize technology (often AI) to overlay different virtual hairstyles onto your picture.
Here's how you can use them to find a suitable hairstyle:
- Upload a Clear Photo: Use a photo where your face is clearly visible, ideally with your hair pulled back or in a simple style.
- Browse Styles: Explore the library of hairstyles available within the app. Look for styles that pique your interest or are recommended based on face shape (if the app offers that feature).
- Virtual Try-On: Select a style to see how it looks superimposed on your photo. Most apps allow you to adjust the position, size, and sometimes the color of the virtual hair.
- Compare and Contrast: Try on multiple styles. Pay attention to how each one frames your face, complements your features, and aligns with your desired look.
- Save and Share: Save photos of your favorite virtual makeovers. You can share these with friends, family, or your stylist for input.
While apps like FaceApp are popular for various photo edits and include some hairstyle options (listed with 20+ styles in the reference), apps like Hair Makeover - Modiface on Android offer a significantly larger library (600+ styles), giving you many more looks to experiment with. For men specifically, Your Perfect Hairstyle for Men on iOS provides a large selection of male styles (400+). Perfect365, also a makeup app, includes over 30 female hairstyles.
By using these virtual try-on tools, you can get a realistic preview of how various cuts, lengths, and colors might look on you before making a decision, helping you discover which hairstyles you feel suit your face best.
