Powered by FLUX · ~30s · 7-day input deletion · You own the photo
The AI hairstyle changer takes one photo and re-renders your hair as the cut, color, or length you choose, preserving your face shape, skin tone, and original photo lighting. Use it to preview a haircut before the salon, test a color before you dye, or try a viral style like a bob, curtain bangs, buzz cut, or bald filter without commitment. 1 credit ($0.25) per preview, around 30 seconds.
Why preview a haircut before the salon
Hair is the single biggest reversible change in a portrait. A new cut shifts the perceived face shape, the contrast against the skin, the framing of the eyes. Once it's cut, growing it back to where it was takes months.
An AI hairstyle changer answers the "what would I look like with…" question before a salon appointment. The point isn't to replace the stylist — it's to walk in with a reference image, save the 20-minute "let me show you what I want" conversation, and reduce the chance of leaving with a haircut you regret.
AI haircut generator vs. AI hair color changer
These are often the same tool but solve different decisions. The haircut decision is about shape — bob, lob, pixie, layered, buzz, fringe, wolf cut. The color decision is about hue and tone — platinum, copper, ash brown, balayage, jet black.
Lumapic does both, and you can stack them. Try a balayage on your current cut to see if the color works against your skin tone, then try the same color on a bob to plan the full change. Two credits, two outputs, one informed salon visit.
How to pick a hairstyle that suits your face shape
Face shape is the most-used framework in beauty editorial (Vogue, Allure, Byrdie all reference it) for matching cuts to people. The shorthand: round faces lengthen with vertical cuts (long layers, side parts, height at the crown), square faces soften with curves (curtain bangs, waves, layered ends), oval faces work with most cuts (the "default" geometry), heart-shaped faces balance with width below the jaw (chin-length bobs, soft waves).
Use the framework as a starting point, not a rule. Preview the cut against your actual photo and judge from there.
Honest about what works and what doesn't
Lumapic's hairstyle changer renders straight and wavy textures (Type 1 through 3A) most reliably. The cel-shading and edge work are tuned for those textures.
Tightly coiled textures (3C through 4C) work, but the failure rate is higher and the edges sometimes read as illustration rather than photograph. We're improving this. Saying so feels more useful than burying it; if your texture is in this range, run a test render before committing to a salon appointment based on the preview.
What to use it for
Six real surfaces.
- Preview a bob, pixie, or buzz cut before the cut becomes permanent
- Test a balayage or platinum shift before the colorist appointment
- See how curtain bangs or fringe read on your face shape
- Show a stylist exactly what you want as a visual reference
- Plan a costume hairstyle for a party without sprays or wigs
- Render the bald filter for a viral group-chat post
How it works
From upload to finished photo.
01
Upload one front-facing photo
JPG, PNG, or WebP, at least 1024px on the long edge. Hair fully visible in the frame — don't crop above the hairline. Even indoor lighting reads cleanest.
02
Pick a cut, color, or both
Choose from 60+ presets — bobs, pixies, lobs, buzz cuts, bangs, balayage, platinum, ash brown, the bald filter — or describe the look in your own words. Face, skin, and lighting are preserved.
03
Download the result
Final JPG at 2048px on the long edge. Around 30 seconds. 1 credit ($0.25) per preview. Run again for a different cut or color on the same input.
Tips for best results
What actually helps.
- Front-facing photos render more cleanly than profile — the hairline is the signature
- Make sure your current hair is fully visible — the model uses the head shape to place the new hair
- Avoid hats and headbands in the input; they block the model's view of the head
- Indoor soft lighting works best — harsh outdoor sun creates shadows that distort the new hair color
- Color changes render more confidently than dramatic cut changes — try a few iterations to find the right cut
- Be specific in your prompt: 'shoulder-length layered cut with curtain bangs, ash brown' beats 'cute haircut'

FAQ
Common questions.
Can AI show what I'd look like with a different haircut?
Yes — that's exactly what the AI hairstyle changer does. Upload one selfie, pick a cut or color, and the model re-renders your hair while keeping your face, skin tone, and original lighting exact. Use it to preview a haircut before the salon, test a color before you dye, or try a viral style without commitment. Around 30 seconds per preview.
What hairstyles can I try?
60+ presets covering cuts (bob, lob, pixie, layered, buzz, mullet, shag), colors (platinum, copper, ash brown, balayage, jet black), lengths, and trends (curtain bangs, the bald filter, wolf cut, wet look). You can also describe any style in your own words — the model accepts freeform prompts.
Does it work for all hair textures?
Straight and wavy textures (Type 1–3A) render most reliably. Tightly coiled textures (3C–4C) work, but with a higher failure rate — sometimes the model produces results that read as illustration rather than photo. We're improving this; we'd rather say so than oversell.
Will it look like me?
Yes. Identity preservation is the priority — your face shape, skin tone, eyes, and the original lighting stay exact. The model only re-renders the hair: cut, length, color, texture. The result should look like a photo of you with new hair, not a different person.
How is this different from L'Oreal Style My Hair or hair-app filters?
Brand try-on apps and most mobile filters overlay a hair texture on top of your photo — fast, but obviously fake at any zoom level. Lumapic re-renders the actual hair pixels, so the result holds up at print resolution and reads as a photograph rather than a filter.
How long does it take?
Around 30 seconds per preview.
How much does it cost?
1 credit ($0.25) per hairstyle preview. Credit packs start at $2.99 for 12 credits. Credits never expire.
