What would I look like with curly hair?

A perm lasts for months, and if you do not like it, you have to wait for it to grow out. The curly hair filter shows you the look first. It redraws only the hair, changing straight or wavy hair into curls that follow your head shape and match the lighting of the original photo.

Everything else stays the same. Your eyes, expression, eyebrows, facial hair, glasses and clothes are kept, so you see how curls change the shape of your face and the volume around it.

Bouncy curls, soft perm or loose glam curls

Bouncy curls are defined, springy curls with plenty of volume. They are the biggest change from straight hair and give the most playful look.

Soft perm is a gentle, natural-looking wave and curl, popular for both men and women. It adds texture and movement without a lot of volume, which makes it a safe first perm.

Loose glam curls are large, smooth curls like a salon blow-out or a curling-iron style. They look polished and work well for events, even if you do not want a permanent change.

Before you get a perm

Use the preview to choose the size of curl and to show your stylist what you want. A picture of curls on your own face explains it better than a photo of someone else.

Keep in mind that a real perm depends on your hair density, texture, length and condition, and on how your hair takes the treatment. The filter shows a realistic idea of the look, not a guarantee of the salon result.

Tips for a realistic curly hair preview

Use a clear photo of one person with the whole head in the frame and some of the hair length visible. A front or three-quarter view works best. Take off hats and hoods, since the tool keeps them. Even, natural light gives the most believable curls.
