Image editing applications
CapCut is compatible with some versatile image editing applications. If you follow the steps above, you can edit the image in the app to include a new hair color. When you use this as a base image in CapCut, it will be implemented in the video.
These are some of the top apps for changing hair color (and more).
FaceApp
This app boasts of being the most popular image editing app out there. It can edit photos and help you make hair color changes in CapCut. It’s free and works on Android and iOS platforms. It offers some interesting options like a filter that adds beard or ages the user up or down. This is a great app to start with if you don’t already have a photo editing app.
YouCam Makeup
This is a video editing app that can be used for hair coloring but specializes in trying out different makeup ideas. It has very positive user reviews and has a free option with minimal to no ads. This is the perfect app if you are not only changing hair color but also want to play with makeup or changes in facial features. The images are realistic and advanced, and the paid version is excellent. This app is video only, no images.
comb my hair
The L’Oreal editing app is free but does not have good user reviews. It’s available to download from the Apple store and uses a 3D image to view your selfie with the hair color of your choice. It even includes looks like ombré and sombré. If you find something you love, you can even use this app to find the nearest L’Oreal salon.
FaceTune
You can try FaceTune for free, but it usually requires a monthly subscription, so consider it a temporary solution. This selfie editor can not only change your hair, but also change the background, accessories and lighting of your image. It’s aimed at people who want to create AI avatars, but could also help them change their appearance for a CapCut hair color alteration. The downside is that it doesn’t have many color options and the filter isn’t the best quality for dark hair.
L’Oreal Paris
On the L’Oreal website you can find their “Virtual Hair Color Try-On”. While this isn’t likely to help with a CapCut video, many people report using it to determine what color they want to use in their Hair Color Challenge trend. You can upload a selfie and try on various hair shades. And if you get the perfect image here, you can always take a screenshot.
fabby look
You can find the Fabby Look app on the Play Store or App Store. The Apple version has better reviews, but user ratings for both are decent. The app has tons of color options and follows the contour of the hair in the images well. This app is easy to use and you can edit images or videos, all for free.
CapCut Templates
One of the reasons editing videos is so easy in CapCut is the use of templates. In fact, there are specific templates to try changing hair color. While watching videos on TikTok, look for the CapCut icon above the subtitles. This means it can be used as a CapCut template. Simply tap it and follow the instructions. Please note that you will need to have CapCut installed on your device first.
You can also search for specific templates on TikTok. Open the search bar and type the hair color change template or filter you are looking for. You can click on a video and tap to test the effect, or you can use the template in your own video.
CapCut also includes pre-designed templates for your use. These can contain songs, filters and effects, all pre-created to overlay with your video. You can further edit the template if you want to modify it a bit. Due to the popularity of hair color change, many hair color change templates can give you a head start so you don’t have to start from scratch.
