The hairstyles and colors don't look realistic. What should I do?

The hairstyles and colors will look best on a photo with a white background where you are facing front on. To see more about our photo guidelines please visit our photo specifications page.

We also recommend that your monitor is set to at least 16 bit color mode (thousands of colors) and that the contrast and brightness on your monitor is set accurately so that the colors displayed by your monitor are realistic. We highly recommend you set your color mode to 32 bit.

What is/how do I use the hairstyle suitability rating?

The hairstyle suitability rating takes your personal features, such as your face shape, age, hair texture, density and other factors that you select when filling in our "My Hairstyle Profile" or "Hair Consultation", and matches them with all of the characteristics of our hairstyles (as determined by our expert stylists) so that you can instantly and easily see if that hairstyle will suit you!

This great feature is a handy guide that can help you see which hairstyles suit you best, but you are also free to determine for yourself which hairstyles in our library will suit you using your own likes, judgements and preferences.

To use the hairstyle suitability rating:

1. signup (or login if you're already a member)
2. fill in the My Hairstyle Profile after you signup (you can change your answers as many times as you like)
3. start viewing the hairstyles.

Note: If you're not logged in, hairstyle suitability ratings are based on the personal features of our model.
