Example 1 of 3

Try a chin-length bob

The hairstyle edit: the same woman, her long hair replaced by a chin-length bob with soft bangs while her face, top, and the dark background stay identical.
Prompt

Change only the hairstyle to a chin-length blunt bob with soft wispy bangs, keeping the hair black. Keep the face, facial features, expression, skin tone, pose, clothing, and background exactly unchanged.

What Makes This Hairstyle Try-On Different

Before and after: long dark hair becomes a chin-length bob with soft bangs while the face, top, and background stay identical.

Describe the cut, not pick from a list

Preset galleries hand you twenty haircuts to scroll. A prompt takes the exact combination in your head: collarbone length, loose waves, no bangs, a shade darker. Length, texture, and color in one sentence.

Before and after: dark hair recolored to warm copper on the same face, the eyes, smile, and top unchanged.

The keep-list guards your face

Name what must not move: your facial features, expression, skin tone, pose, clothing, background. The prompt carries those constraints into the edit. Even so, generative results can vary, so compare the face against the original before you keep one.

Two inputs, one result: a straight-haired portrait plus a reference photo of golden curls, and the same portrait wearing those curls.

Try a cut from someone else's photo

Saw a cut on someone else? Add that photo as a reference, up to five of them, and tell the editor to apply that hairstyle to your portrait. No waiting for an app to add it to the library.

Before and after: the same portrait taken to a close buzz cut in two attempts, the face holding steady across both results.

Compare reruns and keep the best

Each generation is a fresh take. If the bangs sit wrong or the color reads flat, rerun the same prompt and compare, or tighten the description. Failed tasks return their credits automatically.

What Is an AI Hairstyle Changer?

An AI hairstyle changer is a preview tool: it puts a haircut, a length, or a hair color you are considering onto a photo of you, so the decision happens in front of a mirror that already knows your face. People also call this a virtual hairstyle try-on or an AI hairstyle generator; the job is the same either way. You upload one portrait, describe the target hairstyle, list what must stay, and the editor redraws the hair while the rest of the photo holds. It works one photo at a time, and up to five reference photos can come along when the cut you want lives in someone else's picture. Because the hair is re-drawn rather than pasted on, the hairline and facial features can drift a little between runs; zooming in on the face and comparing against the original is part of the workflow, and so is a rerun.

How to Try On a Hairstyle

Five steps from the photo you have to the preview you want, all inside the editor on this page.

1

Upload your portrait

JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 20MB. A front-facing photo with the hairline visible gives the editor the most to work with; even light helps.

2

Describe the hairstyle and what stays

Length, texture, color: 'a chin-length blunt bob with soft bangs'. Then the keep-list: face, expression, pose, clothing, background. One hairstyle per prompt keeps the edit readable.

3

Choose the output

Keep the original ratio for a like-for-like preview. 1K at 3 credits fits inside the daily free allowance on most portraits; go higher only for a print-size result.

4

Generate and zoom in on the face

Check the hairline, the eyes, the mouth against the original. Generative results vary between runs, so judge up close before deciding this is the one.

5

Use the result

Download full resolution with no watermark, or stay in the workspace: rerun the same prompt for another take, or try a different cut on the same photo.

Why Try On a Hairstyle Before the Salon

The cut lands on your head, not a model's

Magazine pages and salon lookbooks show a haircut on someone else's bone structure. A preview on your own photo answers the actual question: does this shape work with this face.

No app install, no preset scrolling

Describe the hairstyle in one sentence, the way you would tell a stylist. Nothing to download, no account needed to start, and the daily credits refresh on their own.

Compare takes before you decide

Every result stays in the workspace at full resolution, watermark-free. Line up the bob against the buzz cut against the copper, then keep the one that survives the comparison.

Three ways to preview a haircut. The honest differences between them, not a product takedown.

Tips for Better Hairstyle Prompts

The prompt is the whole control surface. Three rules cover most of what goes wrong.

  • Say length, texture, and color together: 'a chin-length blunt bob, straight, black, with soft bangs' beats 'short hair'. One hairstyle per prompt.
  • Write the keep-list explicitly: your facial features, expression, skin tone, pose, clothing, background. Unnamed things are the ones that drift.
  • Judge the result at full zoom, face first: hairline, eyes, mouth. If the face moved, rerun with 'keep the facial features and skin tone exactly unchanged' spelled out.

Change only the hairstyle to [length + texture + color]; keep [the face, the pose, the clothing, the background] exactly unchanged.

Going shorter

Too vague

Make my hair short and nice.

More useful prompt

Change only the hairstyle to a chin-length blunt bob with soft bangs, keeping the hair black; keep my facial features, expression, clothing, and background exactly unchanged.

Testing a color

Too vague

Show me with red hair.

More useful prompt

Change only the hair color to a warm copper auburn, keeping this cut and length; keep my face, skin tone, and the background exactly unchanged.

A cut from someone else's photo

Too vague

Make my hair like the second picture.

More useful prompt

Apply the golden shoulder-length curls from the second reference photo to my portrait; keep my facial features, expression, and the background exactly unchanged.

Who Uses This Hairstyle Try-On

Before the salon

The appointment is booked and the doubt has set in. Salon visitors try on hairstyles from their own photo, compare the bob against the long layers, and walk in with a picture instead of a guess.

Before the dye job

Copper, ash brown, platinum: color is the hardest call to un-make. Testing a hair color on your own portrait costs a prompt, not a six-week grow-out.

Profile photo refreshers

Dating and LinkedIn photos age faster than hairstyles do. People who want to change their hairstyle with AI preview the new look first, then keep the old photo as a fallback.

AI Hairstyle Changer: FAQ

How the AI hairstyle changer works, what happens to your face, and how many tries you get.

You upload a portrait, describe the target hairstyle, and list what must stay. The editor runs a generative image-to-image edit that redraws the hair according to your description and your keep-list. It is a re-draw, not a sticker or a camera filter, so the hair sits in the original light and setting.

Mostly, yes: the keep-list carries your facial features, expression, and skin tone into the edit. It is still a generative result, so faces can vary slightly between runs, especially around the hairline. Zoom in and compare against your original before keeping a result, and rerun when something moved.

Yes. Attach up to five reference photos alongside your portrait and tell the editor which hairstyle to take from which photo. The reference sets the look; your portrait keeps the face, pose, and background.

JPEG, PNG, or WebP files up to 20MB, one portrait per edit, with up to five reference photos supported. A front-facing photo with the hairline visible and even lighting gives the cleanest previews; hats and heavy shadows get in the way.

Rerun the same prompt first; variance between runs is normal. If the face keeps drifting, make the keep-list specific: name the eye shape, the mouth, the skin tone, and say the facial features must stay exactly unchanged. When a task fails outright, its credits are returned automatically.

Guests get 9 free credits and signed-in accounts get 15, refreshed every UTC day. They do not accumulate. A standard 1K edit costs 3 credits, so the daily allowance covers several previews, and downloads carry no watermark.
