Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself. ~Hubert de Givenchy, Vogue, July 1985

What will they think of next? In this age of technological innovation I find myself wondering how technology tools will continue to have an impact on personal and expressive aesthetics as well as perceptual learning. As I have recently been contemplating a hairstyle change, I found myself wondering, "Is there a site that allows you to try out a new look?"

Well, while I was not surprised that they exist, I found myself curiously exploring them. After looking at a few (Makeover-o-Matic, Instant Hair Makeover and Taaz Online Makeover) I created a series of virtual "looks."









Although my face didn't quite fit the online template (note the double chin in all the pictures), I discovered that I am a better brunette than a blonde... And although I have yet to find the look that I want to embrace in the new year, it was an interesting adventure.... Maybe someday we will be able to use this kind of technology while also pointing and clicking to choose a real hairstyle. Now that would be interesting.
