It’s no secret that we’re big America’s Next Top Model fans here at VAIN (note to producers: let VAIN do the next cycle’s makeovers! Bowl cuts a makeover do not make). We also have clients ask our hairstylists for celebrity do’s all the time (VAIN downtown stylist Jake wrote a great post about it a while back). So when we stumbled upon InStyle.com’s online Hollywood Hair Makeover Tool, we found ourselves lost in love: with a few clicks you can try celebrity hairstyles on a face shape that most closely matches yours, or if you’ve got way too much time on your hands, upload a picture of yourself to see how you’d look with Reese’s bangs, Gisele’s waves, Rihanna’s bob, Eva’s updo, or Tyra’s giant head of awesome helmet hair. The results tend to be more entertaining than realistic, but they still give you a ballpark idea. My personal favorite? Me as Mary J. No more drama!

Seriously- the tool has so many celebrity styles to choose from that you might not be able to stop trying them on. And searching by celebrity name or hairstyle? Over a dozen shades of hair color? The ability to e-mail your personalized Hollywood hairdo picture to friends and loved ones? Too much!

This is a guilty hair pleasure for sure, but in the spirit of exploring new looks, why not check it out. You might find a hairstyle or color that you hadn’t thought of for yourself before and could make your own. At the very least, you’ll get a good laugh.

Enough blogging. I’m going to go see how I look as Teri Hatcher.
