What is a hairstyle try-on?

A hairstyle try-on puts a new hairstyle on your own photo, so you see it on your face before the salon. The HaircutAI try-on takes about 20 seconds and changes only the hair.

Free try-on vs the HaircutAI app

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

Ways to try a hairstyle before you cut

A cut you regret can take months to grow out. Hair grows about half an inch (1.25 cm) a month.

Get a good result

The try-on keeps your face, skin tone, expression and background. A clear photo gives the most real hair.

  • Face the cameraA straight face gets the new hair placed right.
  • Use soft, even lightDaylight from a window works best. Avoid hard shadows.
  • Show your hairNo hat or hood, so the try-on can work with your own hairline.
  • Just you in the photoOne face, close enough to fill most of the frame.

Questions

How can I try hairstyles on my own photo?

Use a hairstyle try-on: pick a look, add a selfie and an AI puts that hairstyle on your photo. The HaircutAI try-on does it in the browser in about 20 seconds.

Is the HaircutAI hairstyle try-on free?

Your first try-on is free: one look on your own photo, with no sign-in. More looks, and which ones suit your face, are in the HaircutAI app.

What photo works best for a hairstyle try-on?

A selfie looking at the camera, in soft light, with your hair in view and no hat. One face that fills most of the photo gives the cleanest result.

Does the try-on change my face?

No. The HaircutAI try-on changes only the hair. Your face, skin tone, expression 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.

Can men try hairstyles too?

Yes. The HaircutAI try-on has 58 looks for men, such as the taper fade, buzz cut and modern mullet, and 12 for women.

What is the difference between a hairstyle filter and an AI try-on?

A filter draws hair over a live camera view, so it moves with you but often looks pasted on. An AI try-on makes a new photo of you with the hairstyle, so it looks like a real cut.

Why try a hairstyle before a haircut?

A cut you regret can take months to grow out: hair grows about half an inch (1.25 cm) a month. A try-on shows you the cut on your face before the salon.
