Robert Kaye has a thing about hair. A multi-coloured, shaven, paint spattered, day-glo kind of thing. Ahem…he is also, however, a programmer of no mean skillz, which puts everything into perspective, non?

‘I hate normal hair, and it really has no place on my head. I prefer to use my head as a canvas onto which my hairdresser Billy Grady can paint the whacky creations that we dream up. In all of the shots below, you see my real hair — there is never anything painted or glued to my head.’

You’re pretty right? And just a teeny bit obsessed? Then look no further than the Hairstyle Mobile application for cell phones.

‘Change your hairstyle right in your handset. You can use your or your friends [sic] photo and try any of 60 different hairstyles. It will take only four quick steps: 1) take a shot with aid of handset’s integrated camera 2) Select a hairstyle from a gallery 3) Change a color of hairstyle (if you wish) 4) Save result as a picture.’
