Two fun sites where you can upload a picture and try on haircuts and makeup They are both similar but the 2nd one lets you add highlights and lowlights to the haircolor but only allows one upload of a picture to play with.

Now, will you help me decide which haircut will work for me? I have included my old usual which I like - and five others that I think would work for my extra fine and very straight hair. Oh yes and I am grandma to four so I sure can't do anything too funky But, my hair is quite long now and I don't think I want to keep pulling it back and wearing the "wad" in the back of my head that I have now!



If you try the sites - will you let us see your results? Have fun!

Oh Debbie, how fun that must be to do. I'm going to have to try it out.

Okay, I really love your usual cut, BUT, I also liked # 2. I find it makes you look younger.

Number 1, 3 & 4 are too funky looking for me and #5 is too flat.

[crow_noir]

#2 looks really sweet and nice.

Normally I like #1, but i don't think it's right for you.

#3 in a shorter neater version would look really nice on you! (as is, I don't care for it, but it's similar to a look that would look really nice.)

I think #2 looks great on you!

[jenluckenbach]

#2 is SPECTACULAR on you!!! There is not comparison to the other four. It is PERFECT for the shape of your face. I think you would love it!

I voted for #2 also, but I like #1 too.

[Killearn Kitties]

I voted for number 2. I think it is a lovely style and really suits your face. You also suit your usual style. Apart from that, I was less keen on the others.

I absolutely love number 1! It really compliments your face shape.

Um, I hate to say this, but ......so what that you are a grandmother???!!!!


Where does it say that you have to wear your hair in the correct style becsause you are a grandmother??? ....or mother, daughter, teenager..etc.

I have several friends (one being Lisa of K&L) that are grandmothers, and wear their hair in todays fashions!

And you know what???!!! It makes them look younger!!!!!

I may be old, but I sure don't like to 'look' my age!!! So with that said, I think you should put some colored spikes in your hair Deb!!!!

Ok, well......maybe not, but please don't let your age rule your style!! And go for style #2 with some blond highlights or something!!

[shais_mom]

well I like number one or number 3 but since it doesn't let me pick more than one - I picked 3 -
i think in the picture the shorter style brings your face UP

[shais_mom]

I think definatley that with NEW glasses you need a NEW hairdo!

[sirrahbed]

I appreciate the suggestions! Yes I need something new for sure. Bunny, I mention being grandma because - well - I guess I am very conscious of NOT wanting to look like I *think* I am younger than I am Right now my hair is too long (for me, I think) and I just pull it back every day anyway and THAT makes me look older I think. My long hair just never looks pretty anymore. The lady who has cut my hair forever always talks me out of bangs or layers because my hair is so fine. But I had bangs and layers before and really liked them but it did make more work than being able to pull my hair back. I am soooo lazy and bad about doing anything to try and look better. I do keep blonde highlights in my hair but am overdue. I have always been a blonde naturally but now it is much darker than before but still in the blonde family. Plus highlights make it harder to see the gray hairs I seem to be getting these days!

As for the cuts _ I am thinking that #5 looks like what my hair might actually look like with it shorter. Not sure I have thick enough hair for the other cuts? But maybe shorter hair will give me back some body? It would be nice to be able to have hair to comb different ways, part differently, experiment with gels, etc. I rather like all of them

Has anyone else played with that makeover software? I had such fun with that!!

[jackie]

I have very thin hair too, but adding layers and bangs makes a HUGE difference, go choppy!

[lizbud]

I liked #2 also. I think blond is more your color, then darker shades. Looks
great.

I did!
but I kept wanting to choose the ones that you have to pay for!
But it was fun to play with the hair and the makeup!
I can remember the lady that used to cut my hair saying that wear your hair long when you're young but old women don't look good with really long hair. Altho I'm not sure where her cut off was!! I'd say 70's ish??
so I think the shorter the better!
