MelanoTresses homepage hero photos

Every hero image made for the website so far, grouped by when it was made. Each one has a code (A1, B2…). Tell us the codes you want in the homepage slideshow. Tap any image to see it full size.

What you asked for

“I liked all the initial images in the hero section in the home page will you put those back? I just want to add male versions of those… Then I’ve already selected my fav picture of me for the hero section slideshow.” (25 August)

Your latest feedback asks for the same thing.

Three quick questions

  1. Are A1–A4 the old ones you want back?
  2. For the male versions, do you want the four in group C, or new male versions of the group A photos? (Those are not made yet; we make them once you say.)
  3. Is B2 still your chosen photo of you?
