My Journey to Colored Hair!
For about a year now, I have seriously been considering coloring my hair. I want something new, but because I have natural hair and I have never had any sort of color, I have been taking my sweet time to find something I think would compliment my skin tone, hair texture, and overall look. People are used to seeing me with long black hair and I don’t want to shock them or myself. Plus, trips to the salon to get color can range anywhere between $40-$250+. I was told that price go up with the texture and length of your hair and with my hair easily passing my bum, this is a project that my wallet needs to go perfectly the first time. Sometime this past April, I was researching the difference between a rinse, semi permanent, and permanent hair colors and I decided to try a FREE digital makeover. From the makeover, I did a screen clip of the celebrity hairstyles on my own picture and then posted 6 of the looks to Facebook to get the opinions of my Facebook friends. Here are the results…

I like this set of pictures more so than the other ones because the website allows you to color your own hair!!! I think this has made it easier for me to see myself with a totally different look.
My top choice is:
Did I mention that you can add special effects like makeup? In the picture above, I added lipstick and mascara. You can also play with photo effects on your uploaded picture like these:

Overall, I am please with DailyMakeOver.com. The site is fun, FREE, and informative. I would suggest you try a digital makeover before jumping right into color. I have witnessed hair color disasters and I believe it saves time, money, and your ego to get it right the first time. Try your photo today.
