One preview for 45 credits." canonical: "https://potto.ai/image-templates/ai-hairstyle" language: "en" dateModified: "2026-10-07" --- # AI Hairstyle Try an AI hairstyle on your own photo: a fresh modern haircut, while your face, skin, clothing and background stay the same. ## AI hairstyle: the same portrait before and after One reference portrait and the hairstyle concept generated from it. The result follows the supported ratio closest to your photo, with 3:4 as the fallback. ![Original portrait photo before the AI hairstyle treatment](https://potto.ai/images/examples/real-hairstyle-changer-before-1080.webp) *Original photo* ![Portrait with a new modern hairstyle generated from the same photo](https://potto.ai/images/examples/real-hairstyle-changer-896.webp) *AI hairstyle result* ### What stayed The recipe asks the model to keep the person's identity, face, expression, skin, clothing, pose and background. Compare the eyes, jaw and neckline with the original at the same size: they show whether it is still the same person with only the hair changed. ### What changed The hair gets a fresh modern direction chosen automatically, with a new shape, length and volume. There is no cut or color menu, so the template decides the direction. Treat the result as one visual concept, not a prediction of how your own hair would cut or dry. ### What to check Look at the hairline, ears, glasses arms and collar, where new hair meets other shapes; strands should not fuse with clothing or leave a doubled ear. If a hat or hand covered part of the head, the hidden area is invented. Check the part line and the length near the shoulders too, because they change how the whole face reads. ## Where an AI hairstyle concept fits Three common uses. In each one the image is a concept to discuss, and the real haircut stays a separate decision. ### Salon consultation *Salon visit* Bring the original photo and the generated concept together. Point to what you like, such as the volume, the length near the neck or the space around the forehead, and ask what is realistic for your hair. The image shows a look, not a cutting technique, so the stylist still judges texture, density and upkeep. Printing both side by side on one page makes the conversation easier than flipping between screens. ![Portrait of a woman with a short bob beside a new AI hairstyle concept of the same woman](https://cdn.potto.ai/images/ai-hairstyle-bob-beside-original-1080.webp) ### Profile image variation *Profile image* A generated hairstyle can give a profile picture a different mood without touching your real hair. Choose a result that still looks like you, then check the hair edges, ears and background at the size where it will appear. If the picture should show your current look, use an unedited photo instead. Keep the file name or caption honest so viewers know the hair is generated. ![Portrait of a smiling bearded man with a new AI hairstyle, hair edges and ears visible at full size](https://cdn.potto.ai/images/ai-hairstyle-bearded-man-profile-picture-1080.webp) ### Creative mood board *Mood board* Use the concept to explain a silhouette and atmosphere for a portrait session. Keep it labeled as generated, next to real reference photos, and let the people doing hair and photography decide what can actually be made; the concept does not plan a shoot or promise the look can be recreated. ![Woman with a new AI hairstyle concept, a generated look to place next to real reference photos](https://cdn.potto.ai/images/ai-hairstyle-curly-woman-concept-848.webp) ## How to try an AI hairstyle on your photo Upload a portrait, check the fixed output, then compare the hairline and face with your photo. ### 1. Upload one clear portrait Add one JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 20 MB. Choose a front-facing photo where the forehead, ears and hairline are visible and the hair has a clear edge against the background. Use a photo you own or may edit. Wear your hair the way you normally would in the photo, because the model reshapes the hair it can see and a tight bun leaves little to work with. ### 2. Check the fixed settings There is no cut, color or length selector; the panel shows the fixed output, one PNG at HD from [Nano Banana Pro](https://potto.ai/nano-banana-pro.md) in the supported ratio closest to your photo, with 3:4 as the fallback. Crop the photo first if the framing matters. ### 3. Generate and compare Each AI hairstyle result costs 45 credits, shown on Generate before you confirm. When the concept is ready, compare it with your original, check the hairline and the face, then download it. Run it again only when you want another concept, since each run is a separate request with its own credit cost. ## What AI hairstyle changes and what it leaves alone This AI hairstyle changer changes the hair and keeps everything else in the portrait. ### A front-facing photo works best The model reshapes the hair it can see, so show the forehead, ears and hairline, with the hair against a clear edge. A tight bun or a hat leaves little to work with and means the hidden area is invented. - One JPG, PNG or WebP portrait per run - Wear your hair the way you normally would ![Close-up portrait of a woman with long straight dark hair](https://potto.ai/images/examples/real-hairstyle-changer-before-1080.webp) *Original portrait used as the reference* ### Only the hair gets a new direction The template picks a fresh modern haircut automatically, with a new shape, length and volume, while your face, expression, skin, clothing, pose and background stay unchanged. There is no cut or color menu, so treat each result as one visual concept. - The ratio follows your photo, with 3:4 as the fallback - Run it again for another concept; each run is a separate request ![Close-up portrait of the same woman with wavy shoulder-length hair](https://potto.ai/images/examples/real-hairstyle-changer-896.webp) *AI hairstyle result* ### Check where the new hair meets the face Look at the hairline, ears, glasses arms and collar, where new hair meets other shapes. Strands should not fuse with clothing or leave a doubled ear. Read the result as a hairstyle idea, not a prediction of how your own hair would cut or dry. - Compare eyes, jaw and neckline with the original - Bring the original and the concept to a stylist ![Hairline and ear area of the AI hairstyle result compared with the original photo](https://cdn.potto.ai/images/ai-hairstyle-hairline-ear-comparison-1080.webp) *Hairline and ear check* ## Keep exploring Potto AI More ways to change how a portrait looks. - [AI Clothes Changer](https://potto.ai/image-templates/ai-clothes-changer.md): Change only the outfit and keep the face and pose. - [AI Headshot Generator](https://potto.ai/image-templates/ai-headshot-generator.md): Make a work-ready portrait with soft light. - [Avatar Maker](https://potto.ai/image-templates/avatar-maker.md): Turn the portrait into a stylized profile image. - [AI Photo Editor](https://potto.ai/ai-image-editor.md): Describe one specific haircut in words. - [Change Background](https://potto.ai/background-changer.md): Put the portrait on a color or your own image. - [Photo Effects](https://potto.ai/image-templates.md): Compare other fixed photo effects. ## AI Hairstyle FAQs ### What is an AI hairstyle image? It is a generated edit of your portrait with a different haircut. This template picks one fresh modern hairstyle for the person in your photo and asks to keep the face, skin, clothing, pose and background unchanged. It is a visual idea, not a prediction of a real haircut, a salon fitting or a promise that the style suits your hair. ### Can I choose a specific cut or color? No. The template has no cut, length or color selector; it applies one automatic modern direction. To describe a specific cut or color, write it in the [AI image editor](https://potto.ai/ai-image-editor.md) and review that result separately. For a styled photoshoot with new hair and clothes together, use [Kpop Photo](https://potto.ai/image-templates/kpop-photo.md). ### Which source photo should I use? Use a clear portrait showing the hairline, face, ears where relevant, and the hair you want changed. Heavy hats, cropped hair, or strong shadows can leave boundaries ambiguous. Compare the forehead and face outline after generation, then inspect clothing and background where hair overlaps them. ### Will my face and clothing stay the same? The template asks to keep your face, expression, skin, clothing, pose and background, but that is a request, not a guarantee. Compare the eyes, jaw and neckline with the original at the same size. If they changed, the result is not a fair hairstyle comparison, so try a clearer photo or treat it only as a rough idea. ### Can I show the result to a hairstylist? Yes, as a concept alongside the original portrait. Discuss shape, volume, and mood while letting the stylist assess real hair density, growth, curl, and maintenance. The image is not a measured haircut plan or proof that the style will look the same in reality. ### Can I see several hairstyles from one photo? Each run returns one hairstyle that the template picks automatically. Run it again on the same photo for another idea; each run is a new 45-credit generation, and the second result is not guaranteed to differ much from the first. To ask for a specific cut or color, describe it in the AI image editor. ### What does an AI hairstyle preview cost, and what file do I get? 45 credits per run for one PNG at HD in the supported ratio closest to your photo, with 3:4 as the fallback, made with Nano Banana Pro. The amount appears on the Generate button before you confirm. ## Try a new hairstyle Upload one clear portrait, review the credit estimate, and compare the hairstyle concept with your original before using it.
