Haristyle
Haristyle is an Android augmented reality app for previewing hairstyles before a haircut. It uses the camera to detect the user's head, then tracks it so a selected style moves with them as they turn or tilt. The catalogue contains more than 50 3D hairstyles, and users can explore colors such as dyes, highlights, lowlights, and ombre effects. A preview can be saved to the gallery and shown to a barber or friends. The app is freemium: its Free plan is free, and the Google Play listing says four premium styles can be tried at no cost. Suggested uses include choosing a haircut, testing colors, and planning a wedding or event look. Haristyle says face tracking and hair rendering happen locally, without uploading facial geometry or camera feed to its servers. It collects device information and anonymous usage analytics and says it does not sell personal data. Previews are simulations, so actual results may vary.
