A bald filter removes the hair on your own photo, so you see your head shape before the razor. The HaircutAI try-on takes about 20 seconds and changes only the hair.

Bald filter vs AI try-on
There are four ways to see yourself bald. Only one shows your own head with no hair, before you shave.
Your photo
AI try-on| Way | How it works | How real it looks |
|---|---|---|
| AI try-on on your photo | Makes a new photo of you with no hair | Looks like your own head shaved |
| Live bald filter | Draws a bald cap over your camera view | Moves with you, hair often shows at the edges |
| Bald cap | A thin cap you pull over your hair | Your real head in a mirror, but it looks like a cap |
| A #1 buzz first | Clippers leave 1/8 in (3 mm) all over | Real, and grows back in weeks, not months |

The free try-on shows one look on you. The app shows which cuts suit your face, then you try any of them on.

Questions
What would I look like bald?
Add a selfie to the HaircutAI bald filter: in about 20 seconds it shows your own face with a shaved head. Your first try-on is free.
Is the HaircutAI bald filter free?
Your first try-on is free: one bald look on your own photo, with no sign-in. More looks, and which cuts suit your face, are in the HaircutAI app.
How do I know if I will look good bald?
Check your head shape (smooth, no flat spots), your face shape (oval suits it best) and your beard. Then see it on your own photo before you shave.
What face shape looks best bald?
A shaved head suits an oval face best, because its balanced proportions show with no hair. Heart and diamond faces can wear it too. A round, long or square face often looks more balanced with a buzz cut or a short crop.
What is the difference between a bald filter and an AI try-on?
A live bald filter draws a bald cap over your camera view, and hair often shows at the edges. An AI try-on makes a new photo of you with no hair.
How long does it take to grow hair back after shaving it?
Hair grows about half an inch (1.25 cm) a month: a buzz cut in about 2 weeks, 2 inches in about 4 months.
Can women use a bald filter?
The HaircutAI app has a Buzz Cut for women that you try on your own photo. The free HaircutAI bald filter shows three men's looks: shaved head, buzz cut and bleached buzz.
Does the bald filter change my face?
No. The HaircutAI try-on changes only the hair; your face, beard and background stay the same.
Is my photo saved?
HaircutAI does not save the photo you use for the free try-on. To count the one free try, it keeps a code made from the photo, not the photo itself.
