How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your portrait into EditThisPic. Best results come from front-facing or three-quarter angle photos with clear visibility of the current hairline and face. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple hair additions: 20-30 seconds. Complex hairstyle changes: may need 2-3 refinements for natural blending.

  2. Describe the hair you want

    Type exactly what hair you want: 'add long wavy auburn hair reaching past the shoulders' or 'add thick curly black hair with natural volume.' Include length, color, texture (straight, wavy, curly), and style. The AI generates hair that matches your face shape and the photo's lighting.

    Tip: Mention lighting conditions: 'with highlights catching the sunlight from the left' for ultra-realistic results

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Add length to short hair add long flowing hair reaching past the shoulders with subtle waves and natural movement, matching the current hair color
    Try This →
    Add volume to thin hair add natural volume and thickness to the hair with fuller body and healthy shine, keeping the same length and style
    Try This →
    Complete hair color change add rich auburn red hair with the current hairstyle, with natural highlights and lowlights for dimension
    Try This →
    Curly hair transformation add voluminous curly hair with defined spiral curls and natural bounce, medium length falling to the shoulders
    Try This →

    Professional styling add a sleek professional blowout hairstyle with smooth straight hair, slight volume at the roots, and polished ends
    Try This →
    Add bangs add soft wispy bangs across the forehead, blending naturally into the existing hairstyle
    Try This →
    Restore receding hairline add natural hair to restore the hairline with realistic density and natural growth patterns matching the existing hair
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Check that the hair looks natural at the hairline, the color matches expected lighting, and the texture is consistent throughout. Look for realistic shadows where hair meets the face and shoulders.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the hairline looks unnatural or hair appears in wrong places, tap markers on those specific areas and describe corrections. Great for blending edges or adjusting specific sections.

    Tip: For hairline refinement, try 'blend the hair naturally into the forehead edge' in your follow-up prompt.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Hairstyle Preview Before Salon

Visualize a new hairstyle, length, or color on your own photo before committing to the cut or dye.

Common Scenarios

  • Seeing what you look like with bangs before cutting them
  • Previewing longer hair before deciding on extensions
  • Testing curly or straight hair before getting a perm or treatment

Best Practices

  • Use a well-lit, front-facing photo for the most realistic preview
  • Describe the exact style: 'soft wispy bangs' is better than just 'bangs'
  • Try multiple styles on the same photo to compare side by side
📷

Volume & Thinning Hair Fix

Add natural-looking volume and thickness to photos where hair appears thin, flat, or sparse.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding volume to a headshot where hair looks flat from bad lighting
  • Filling in thinning areas for a more confident profile photo
  • Boosting hair fullness in a professional photo before printing or sharing

Best Practices

  • Use 'add volume and thickness' rather than 'add more hair' for subtle results
  • Add 'keep the same length and style' to preserve the existing look
  • For thinning areas, combine with 'natural density and growth patterns' for realism
📷

Hair Color & Style Changes

Preview dramatic hair transformations — new colors, textures, or complete style changes.

Common Scenarios

  • Testing a bold hair color change like platinum blonde or deep red before dyeing
  • Previewing a curly-to-straight or straight-to-curly transformation
  • Creating a complete hair makeover look for social media or personal fun

Best Practices

  • Mention highlights and lowlights for dimension — flat single-color results look less natural
  • Describe the curl type specifically: 'loose waves', 'tight spiral curls', or 'beachy waves'
  • Include lighting notes: 'with highlights catching the sunlight' for ultra-realistic results

If something looks off

Hairline looks unnatural or too sharp

Why: The AI created a defined edge rather than natural hairline variation where hair meets skin.

Try: blend the hairline naturally with soft edges and baby hairs at the forehead
Try This →

Tip: Natural hairlines have gradual density changes - mention 'baby hairs' or 'soft edges' for realism

Hair color doesn't match the lighting

Why: The AI generated hair with different lighting conditions than the original photo.

Try: adjust the hair color to match the [warm/cool] lighting from the [direction] in the photo
Try This →

Tip: Note where light hits the face and mention that direction for consistent hair highlights

Hair looks pasted on or flat

Why: The hair lacks the depth, shadows, and natural movement expected in real photographs.

Try: add hair with natural volume, movement, and realistic shadows where it touches the face and shoulders
Try This →

Tip: Include 'movement' and 'natural flow' in your prompt for dimensional results

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Hair texture is inconsistent

Why: The AI mixed different hair textures or the texture doesn't match throughout the hairstyle.

Try: make all hair have consistent [straight/wavy/curly] texture with uniform pattern throughout
Try This →

Tip: Be specific about texture type and consistency in your original prompt

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where the hair should go?

No. Just describe the hair you want: 'add long blonde wavy hair' or 'add volume to the existing hair.' The AI understands head shape, face proportions, and natural hair placement. Only use markers if you need to refine specific areas after the first result.

How do I add hair to a photo for free?

Upload your portrait to EditThisPic and describe the hair: 'add long flowing auburn hair with soft waves' or 'add volume and thickness to existing hair.' The AI generates realistic hair matching your photo's lighting in 20-30 seconds. Free, no account needed.

Is there a free AI hair tool that doesn't require signup?

Yes. EditThisPic adds hair to photos for free with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe the hairstyle, and download the result. No watermarks. Works for adding length, volume, bangs, color changes, and complete hairstyle transformations.

What is the best free AI tool for adding hair to photos?

EditThisPic generates custom hair matching your exact description and photo lighting. Unlike wig try-on apps with limited preset styles, you describe any hairstyle in plain language and the AI creates it. Free to try, works in your browser in seconds.

Can I keep my existing hair and just add to it?

Yes. Describe additions like 'add length while keeping my current style' or 'add volume and thickness to my existing hair.' The AI blends new hair with your existing hair for natural results. Works great for previewing extensions.

Can I use this to preview hair colors before dyeing?

Absolutely. Try prompts like 'change my hair to platinum blonde' or 'add rich burgundy color to my hair.' See the result in seconds rather than committing to real dye. One of the most popular uses of the tool.

Does it work with bald or very short hair?

Yes. The AI can add a complete head of hair to bald or buzzed photos. Be descriptive about the style you want — length, color, texture, and density. Expect 2-3 tries to perfect the hairline for a completely natural look.

Can I add hair to a photo on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, or tablet. No app download needed. Upload your selfie or portrait, describe the hairstyle, and download the result directly.

How much does EditThisPic cost?
