Otokono Kamicolle: Kamigata Collection

Otokono Kamicolle: Kamigata Collection App for iPhone
     Finally a hair style changing application for men!  I was wondering about this a few reviews back, you may recall.  Well, I found one, fellows!  Finally you can join in the hair changing fun.
     This works the same as the female version.  You can select from a variety of hair styles.  There are actually more in this version than the female version!  And what's more, there's even 'funny' ones.  Just remember to always check for updates with the update button on the front of the app (Third from the top, as seen on the screen capture to the right).
     Start by clicking the top button.  This allows you to scroll through the pages of hair styles until you find one you like.  the Humourous styles are present, but have no preview.  Rather they have a "Who's that Pokemon" preview (Silhouette).  There are 3 pages of styles total.
     Once you select the style you want to try, you can select a file from your device or take a new photo.  Again, straight forward, well lit photos with no hair in the face work best.  Try to get a similar lighting to the model's to do your best to skin match your face with their neck (Which will be present).
     It should be able to find your face.  If it can't and ends up layering the style incorrectly over your photo, don't fret.  Tap the edit button to adjust the photo's position.  You can tilt it, make it larger, smaller and move it up, down, left or right to fit in the hole perfectly.
     You can use the switch button to toggle through the different styles from the edit screen, rather than going back and choosing a new one randomly.  This allows you to try them all quickly.  You may even find a style that suits you that you weren't planning to try out originally!
     In case you are wondering who the fellow making the face is, that would be my husband.  I didn't think male hair styles would suit me.
     Click the save button to save your new look to your gallery.  You can browse through the gallery at any time.  Fill it up with photos of all your friends in brand new styles!  You can even share the photos with your friends via twitter, Facebook and email (And naturally you can save the finished look to your device as well).
     You can recommend the look to friends and even get tips on how to acquire this hairstyle from the app.  However, it is all in Japanese.  So this likely wont be useful to people outside of Japan.  Especially since it only suggests Japanese styling products.
     I highly recommend this.  It has a smooth interface and is simple to navigate.  It has a large variety of styles.  Male versions of this sort of app are rare, so this is a great find.  And best of all?  Free...  My only concern is the fact that it's in Japanese.  I'd like to see a translated version provided.
