Okay, so I saw this trend going around, “Sean Strickland with hair,” and I was like, what the heck, let’s give this a shot. I’m no expert, but I figured it’d be fun to mess around and see what I could come up with.
First, I grabbed a picture of Sean Strickland. Just a regular one, you know, the usual bald head. I found one where he’s looking straight at the camera – figured that would be easiest to work with.
My Little Experiment
Then, I opened up this image editing app on my phone. I’ve used some free ones before, nothing too fancy. I’m definitely not a Photoshop wizard or anything. I went straight to the tools, looking for something, anything, that could add hair.
- I started by trying out some pre-set hairstyles. They had a bunch – long, short, curly, you name it. But, man, they all looked ridiculous. Like, really, really bad. Just slapped on top of his head, completely unnatural.
- Next, I tried to draw the hair on myself. Yeah, that was a disaster. My finger-painting skills are clearly not up to par. It looked like a five-year-old did it.
- I almost gave up.
Finally, I found this “sticker” section in the app. And, lo and behold, they had a bunch of hair stickers! I picked one that looked kinda like a messy, short style. It was brown, so it didn’t exactly match Sean’s beard, but hey, close enough.
I carefully placed the hair sticker on his head, resized it, and rotated it a bit to try and make it fit. It still looked a little…off. But it was definitely better than the other attempts!
I messed with the brightness and contrast a bit, trying to blend it in. I even used the eraser tool to soften some of the edges. It wasn’t perfect, but it started to look…somewhat believable?
I ended up with Sean Strickland sporting a kind of messy, short brown hair. It’s definitely not a professional-quality job, but it was a fun little experiment. Makes you wonder what he’d actually look like with hair, huh?
