What Is a Virtual Hairstyle?
A virtual hairstyle is created using photo manipulation software. Different hairstyles can be mixed and matched with a photo or digital picture to see the final result. The reasoning behind the virtual hairstyle trend is that it saves time and money, allowing a customer to see how the hairstyle will look before they commit to it. The software used to create a virtual hairstyle varies widely in quality. Some software uses simple animation, with varying degrees of realism. Others are subscription-only, where the software is patterned after the facial reconstruction programs used to profile criminals.
