Mfarhanonline Social Media News: InStyle has launched an iPad application that enables users to sample more than 50 different hair cuts, styles and colors in a realistic rendering. Rarely have I encountered an app iTunes link so addictive (though perhaps that’s my vanity speaking), nor one that utilizes the iPad’s touchscreen interface so well. Gone are the days of clunky web apps that promise to let you see what you’d look like in a range of different hairstyles, instead leaving you looking like a worst-case scenario from PSD: Photoshop Disasters . The app invites you to pull a headshot from your Facebook or iPad photo libraries, or take one on the spot using one of the cameras on your iPad 2 device. Like Lancome’s virtual makeover tool , InStyle ‘s app can detect the shape of your face, which you can further adjust with your fingers so that any hair styles you try on are positioned more accurately. The app will then suggest a range of styles based on your face shape, or you can browse galleries of hairstyles by style (such as bangs or weddings), celebrity, length or color. Once you’ve selected a style, you can adjust the shape of the hair to better frame your face, as well as change the color. And, after you’ve found your next daring cut, you can use the Salon Finder to locate and book an appointment at one of InStyle ‘s editorially approved hair salons in the U.S. The app will even provide keywords to describe your chosen cut to your stylist, should you decide not to bring your iPad with you. The app, which makes a range of 50 hair styles available to users for free, can also be upgraded for $5.99 to access a larger library of 200 hairstyles, which will be expanded every two weeks, as well as recommendations based on your face shape and past browsing history. Now, getting on to the more important question: Sh! ould I d ye my hair red?
