You’ve been using your phone all wrong, girl. There’s you assuming it was just for taking selfies and calling the pizza guy when actually it's your tool to reach total hair perfection. From changing your shade and style, to DIY tutorials and booking in at your local salon these are the 5 free must-have hair apps you need to download now.
MODIFACE HAIR COLOUR
This app lets you play around with your haircolour and try out different shades before committing anything permanently and it’s also REALLY fun. Unlike other apps it instantly works out where your hair is in the pic so all you have to do is flick through the colours. You can choose something crazy like pink or just go a few shades lighter or darker from your natural colour. It’s good for figuring out what suits you best and you might even surprise yourself with a colour you never would have gone for otherwise.
EVE
This pretty and easy to use app is full of makeup and hair tutorials to get you majorly inspired. Every look comes with a time and difficulty indicator too so you can work out how long it will take you to achieve it or if it's way out of your hair styling abilities. They upload new step-by-step tutorials weekly as well as products that you can save in a wishlist for when you’re shopping. It’s especially useful if you have a wedding or prom coming up as their updo tutorials are really easy to follow and look super pretty.
R+CO EDUCATION
This is a really good one if you want some creative inspiration as it's way more fashion forward and industry based. It features the R+Co lookbook with all the latest styles and tutorials which you can use to recreate them or take to your hairstylist. They also have a video section where you can watch tutorials, backstage videos at catwalk shows and learn more about their products. It also features a collective section where you can see collaborative projects, photoshoots and more from the team behind R+Co. If you’re a hair nerd then this is definitely the app for you.
TREATWELL
This handy app lets you make beauty appointments on the move without having to call up or pop in a salon. It shows you the listed places in your area and the treatments available as well as customer reviews so you know you’re making the right choice. It’s especially good if you just want a pick-me-up blowdry and need to find somewhere quickly in your area. You can also use it to book nail, makeup, facial and spa appointments, so it’s a good all rounder if you’re into getting pampered.
MODIFACE HAIRSTYLES
This app literally places a hair style over your selfie so you can try out new looks without having to spend any money or even leave the sofa. There are a lot of bad apps like this out there but this one is really good at reading the shape of your hairline so you can get a decent result. All the styles are celebrity red carpet looks and include people like Khloe Kardashian and Bella Thorne so there’s lots of colour choice. It’s easy to manipulate the hair too, making it longer or wider to get the most realistic shape for you. There is an upgrade for more colours and styles but the basic version is enough to try something new and get some fresh ideas for free.
