How it works

  1. Add a photo: drag it onto the uploader or pick one from your device.
  2. You pick a cut, and an editing model rebuilds the hair while leaving the face alone.
  3. Look at the result, then download it or run another photo through.

These models reconstruct rather than recover: they produce a plausible version of what was probably there, so results vary with the source photo. Run it again or try a different image if the first pass misses.

What to expect

The useful question before a haircut is not whether a style looks good on somebody else, it is what it does to your head and your face. This changes the cut and nothing else: the colour stays, the face stays, the light stays, and where the old hair covered your forehead or your ears it rebuilds what is underneath. Six cuts are offered rather than a free text box, which is deliberate; a closed list keeps the results predictable and stops the tool from being asked for somebody else's hair. It is most convincing on a front facing photo with the whole head in frame, and least convincing when hair is already tied back or cropped by the edge of the picture, because then it is inventing rather than restyling.

Best results: A front facing photo with your whole head in the frame and hair loose rather than tied back.

Common questions

Which cuts can I choose?
A buzz cut, a short tapered crop, a chin length bob, long and straight, shoulder length curls, or your current length with a fringe added.
Does it change my hair colour too?
No, the colour you have is kept on purpose so you are looking at one change at a time. The hair colour changer is a separate tool if that is the question you actually have.
Can I ask for a specific celebrity's haircut?
No, and that is on purpose. The choices are shapes rather than people: a model asked for a named person's hair tends to bring their face with it, and their look is theirs.
Will it look like my hair?
The texture and colour carry over, so usually yes at a glance. It is a preview to think with rather than a photograph of a haircut you have had, and your barber will still have opinions.
What if my hair is tied back or under a hat?
Results get weaker, because the model has less of your actual hair to work from and more to invent. A photo with hair loose and visible gives a much better answer.
