How it works

  1. Upload your two photos

    Drop your portrait photo into EditThisPic, then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload an image showing the hair extension length and style you want to preview. Good reference photos show the full hair length — ideally from the front or side so the extension blending point is visible. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB each.

    Expect: Adding length with color matching: 25–35 seconds. Adding volume plus length: 30–45 seconds.
  2. Describe the extensions you want

    Tell the AI what to apply: 'add the hair extensions from the reference photo, matching my natural dark brown hair color, blending at the shoulder level with natural-looking layering' or 'add waist-length clip-in extension volume from the reference, same texture as my natural hair.' Include the target length, blend point, and texture.

    Tip: Specifying the blend point (where your natural hair ends and extensions begin) gives the most natural result. Say 'blending at the shoulder' or 'seamless from mid-back' to direct the AI.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Add waist-length extensions from reference add hair extensions from the reference photo to reach waist length, blending seamlessly with my natural dark brown hair color, with layered ends matching the reference texture
    Add volume extensions for thicker look add clip-in volume extensions matching the reference photo, blending with my natural hair color to add significant thickness, no visible seam line
    Add mid-back extensions with natural blend add the hair extensions from the reference photo to reach mid-back length, matching my blonde hair color, with seamless blending at shoulder level and natural layering
    Salon consultation length preview give me a realistic preview of the hair length and volume from the reference photo on my portrait — same texture, same density, blended naturally with my existing hair color

    Add wavy extensions for beach look add the wavy extensions from the reference photo to reach my mid-back, matching my natural brown hair color, with loose beach waves matching the reference texture
    Try coloured extensions accent add subtle highlights-style extensions from the reference photo — same placement pattern, same color contrast, blending with my dark hair at the face framing layers
  3. Check the blend line and color match

    Look for the transition zone where your natural hair meets the added length. A natural result should show no harsh line — the texture, color, and weight should transition smoothly. Compare against the reference photo to confirm the target length is right.

Quick answers

Do I need TWO photos — my portrait AND a reference photo of the extensions?

Yes. This tool works best with two photos: your portrait and a reference photo showing the extension length, texture, and volume you want to try. Upload your portrait, then click '+ Add reference photo' to add the extension reference. The AI reads the target length and style from the reference and applies it to your photo with your natural hair color.

Can I preview how extensions will look before I buy or book a salon appointment?

Yes — this is the primary use case. Find photos of the extension length and style you're considering (from a supplier website, Pinterest, or your stylist's portfolio), upload as the reference, and get a preview on your own portrait. This helps you confirm the length looks right for your face shape and existing hair before spending money on extensions.

Can the AI match my exact hair color for the extensions?

Yes, when you direct it to. In your prompt, include 'matching my natural hair color from my portrait' or 'blend with my [specific color] hair.' The AI reads your actual hair color from the main photo rather than copying the reference photo's color.

How long does hair need to be to add extensions realistically?

The AI can add extensions to any hair length, including very short hair. However, very short-to-very-long transformations (like pixie cut to waist length) may look less natural because the blend point would be near the scalp. The most realistic results are when adding length that's 1–2 steps beyond your current length, or when adding significant volume to thin hair.

Can I use this to decide between clip-in extensions and tape-in extensions?

The tool focuses on the visual look — length, volume, and texture — rather than the extension attachment method. Both clip-in and tape-in extensions create similar visual results. Use references of each style to compare how the final look would appear, then decide on the method with your stylist.
