Virtual Hairstyle - A Perfect Hairstyle a Reality

There is no doubt that virtual hairstyling can be a great way to find the perfect look for a new you. Thanks to websites such as Virtual Hairstyles, you can now "try on" thousands of hairstyles virtually until you find the new look you've been searching for. It's as easy as taking a picture, trying thousands of styles and colors on your picture, and printing out your favorites.

What makes virtual hairstyling so great is the ability to try out many different styles without making a permanent commitment. Looking through a style book or short hairstyle magazine is just no way to choose a hairstyle because these publications only show you how styles look like on other people. Virtual hairstyles allow you to see what a style or color would look like on you. This means that you can say goodbye to disappointing salon visits that just don't turn out quite the way you planned.

Making Your Favorite Style a Reality

After you have narrowed your virtual selections down to a few favorites, it's time to start thinking about making your virtual style a reality. Most often this involves a visit to the salon, but you may forgo the salon if the changes are minor or if they can be accomplished through styling alone.

The first step in making your style a reality is to make sure that you have several selections, at least three, that are feasible. Avoid styles that are too complicated or are just too unrealistic for your hair type. For example: If your hair is naturally curly, avoid choosing a short, straight hairstyle as your hair will only get curlier as it is cut shorter.

Once you have your selections, you will need to print them out and go over them with your stylist. If you do not have a regular stylist, ask your friends for a referral to a great stylist. Never walk into a salon without having an idea of the quality of work that it puts out.

Following are questions that you should ask your stylist about your Virtual Hairstyles

selections during the consultation:

· Does this hairstyle compliment my natural texture?

· Does this style compliment my face, build and skin tone?

· Will my hair look like this without having to put in a great deal of effort?

· How much styling will I have to do to get this look?

· Is there a chemical process such as perming, coloring, or straightening involved with this style?

· What is the cost for achieving this style?

· What styling products will I have to purchase and use to achieve this look?

While virtual hairstyling can save you from a makeover disaster, you still have to do your homework. Be sure to choose your favorite short, medium or long hairstyle carefully and run it by your friends and stylist before making a final decision. If you do this, you will be sure to get the most out of your virtual hairstyle experience.
