Hair recolor lets you change the color of your hair. This is not only great for editing pictures, but it also gives you ideas for potential colors you might want to try in real life.

Like Dress Up, your hair is automatically detected, but you can erase and restore areas that you might want (or not want) to be edited.

Hair Recolor can be found under Smart Tools in the Create page.

If you want to change the color, rap on a color you want to try. Tap it again to adjust the Fade by moving the glider from left to right.If you want to change the tone:

You can save your edit by tapping Next and then Save. Alternatively, before saving, you can make a collage of the different hair colors by tapping Collage at the bottom and choosing a layout you like.
