The Need for AI Beard Simulators & Virtual Try-On Technology

As Danielle explains, the drastic changes in lifestyle that most people experienced during 2020 led many people to try out new looks or hairstyles with beard filters & virtual try-ons that they may not have tried before. For men’s grooming customers, this meant an increasing number of people growing beards when they may have been clean-shaven before or experimenting with a longer hairstyle when they used to keep a short cut. During this time, many men’s grooming customers turned to digital channels for style and beard inspiration. 

Launching the First-of-its-Kind Virtual Try-On Experience
