Get a celebrity 'do


Bored with your current coiffure?

InStyle.com has a fun online feature that allows you to "try on" a variety of celebrity hairstyles sans scissors and hairspray or a trip to the wig shop. Simply upload a photo of your face, or pick a model that resembles your visage, and get started.

Because each hairdo is a virtual translation from a celeb photo, don't be shocked if it looks like garish cartoon hair glued atop your forehead.

You can get an idea of what styles may work on you, but it's probably not the best way to actually choose a new one (and I doubt it's intended as such). It's a fun waste of 20 minutes though.

My best look: Cameron Diaz's carefree shoulder-length style (shown in photo).

I actually use this as a consulting tool with my teen and early twenty clients who have very long hair. If you spend the time monkeying with the color, it no longer looks garish and can really give you an idea of how you'd look in each style!

I can see you in CD's style. Oh, yeah!!!
