AI hairstyle try-on: 12 cuts and 6 colours on your own photo
Preview each cut on the same face, then upload your photo and paste the prompt. Only the hair changes, so you can see the cut, not a different person.

Quick answer
To try a hairstyle with AI, upload a front-facing photo with your hair pulled back or visible to ChatGPT, Gemini or another AI photo editor and paste a prompt that freezes your face and changes only the hair, for example 'a jaw-length French bob with soft blunt bangs'. Show the best result to your stylist as a reference, not a promise.
AI hairstyle try-on edits a photo of you to show a new haircut or colour: a wolf cut, a sleek bob, a Korean two-block or a honey balayage. Modern image editors can redraw hair while keeping your face, expression and background, so you can test a big change without commitment.
The gallery above shows 12 cuts on two consistent fictional models, so you can compare shapes fairly. Below are the prompts plus six colour prompts and quick face-shape tips. Real results depend on your hair's texture, density and your stylist.
A preview, not a promise. Use your own photo or a friend's with consent. AI can't know your hair's density, curl pattern or cowlicks, so treat results as inspiration and talk them through with a stylist. Hair colour previews don't predict how bleach or dye will react.
How to
How to try a new hairstyle on your photo with AI
Take a front-facing photo
Even light, face fully visible. Pull long hair back if you want to test short cuts.
Pick a cut from the gallery
Tap a preview to jump to its prompt, or filter by women, men, short, long or colour.
Upload and paste
ChatGPT, Gemini, Kling's image tools or OpenArt all work.
Check the hairline
If it looks like a wig, regenerate and add 'natural hairline, baby hairs'.
Take it to the salon
Save 2–3 angles of your favourite and show your stylist.
Guide
A practical guide to AI hairstyle try-on
Show the model your hairline
Hair edits fail at the hairline. Use a photo where your forehead and temples are visible: pull hair back or tuck it behind your ears. Then the model can grow any cut from a real hairline instead of guessing.
Name the cut like a stylist
Length (chin, jaw, shoulder), shape (blunt, layered, shaggy), fringe (curtain, blunt, side-swept) and sides (taper, fade) are the words stylists use, and models understand them too. 'Jaw-length French bob with soft blunt bangs' beats 'cute short hair'.
Change cut and colour separately
Do one change at a time. Pick the cut first, then use a colour prompt that starts with 'keep my haircut'. Mixing both in one prompt often changes your face as well.
Respect your texture
AI will happily give straight hair a perfect curl, or fine hair huge volume. Add your texture ('fine straight hair', 'thick wavy hair') to get a result your stylist can actually recreate.
Use it as a conversation starter
Bring two or three angles to the salon and ask what would work with your hair. A good stylist will adapt the cut to your face shape, cowlicks and daily routine.
