How it works

  1. Upload your selfie

    Drop a clear, well-lit selfie into EditThisPic. Photos showing your full hair (not cropped at the top) give the most realistic color previews. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Standard color change: 20-30 seconds. Fashion colors or ombre: may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe the hair color

    Type 'change my hair to warm honey blonde' or 'dye my hair deep cherry red.' Specify the exact shade, warmth (warm/cool/neutral), and any technique (solid, highlights, ombre, balayage). No marking needed — the AI finds your hair automatically.

    Tip: The more specific the color description, the better: 'warm caramel blonde with subtle highlights' beats 'blonde.' Think of how you'd describe it to your stylist.

  3. Review the result

    Check that the hair color looks natural with your skin tone, the color is consistent throughout, and your hair texture and volume are preserved.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

Salon Appointment Preparation

Preview hair colors before your appointment so you and your stylist are on the same page.

Common Scenarios

  • Testing blonde vs brunette vs red on your face
  • Comparing warm vs cool tones of the same color family
  • Finding the exact shade name to request at the salon

Best Practices

  • Use a well-lit selfie showing your full hair
  • Try at least 3-4 shades to narrow your preference
  • Save each preview to show your stylist the exact reference

Major Hair Transformation Decision

Preview dramatic color changes before committing — especially helpful when going from dark to light or natural to fashion colors.

Common Scenarios

  • Testing platinum blonde before bleaching dark hair
  • Previewing pastel pink or blue fashion colors
  • Seeing how going darker from light would look

Best Practices

  • Start with the most conservative shade in your target color family
  • Preview the maintenance level: roots grow out differently for each color
  • Consider how the new color works with your typical wardrobe

Hair Stylist Client Communication

Show your stylist exactly what color result you want with an AI preview on your actual face.

Common Scenarios

  • Bringing a color reference that's on YOUR face, not a model's
  • Demonstrating the specific shade and warmth you're envisioning
  • Comparing your preview with the stylist's swatch book for exact matching

Best Practices

  • Generate the preview in natural daylight for accurate color rendering
  • Describe the color using professional terms your stylist will recognize
  • Bring both the AI preview and note which swatch book shade matches
Apply the equivalent of [salon brand color formula] to my hair
Show me in [specific celebrity's shade name] hair color

If something looks off

Hair color looks flat and wig-like

Why: The AI applied a single solid color without natural dimension or variation.

Try: Add 'natural color variation and dimension throughout, not a single flat tone' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Real hair has natural color variation — roots slightly different from ends, lighter at the crown. Requesting dimension prevents the wig look.

Eyebrows changed color along with hair

Why: The AI matched the eyebrows to the new hair color automatically.

Try: Add 'keep my eyebrows their natural color unchanged' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Eyebrow color change can be a nice touch for some transformations but should be explicit, not automatic.

Color doesn't look good with my skin tone

Why: The chosen shade clashes with your natural complexion.

Try: Try the same color family with different warmth: 'cool blonde' instead of 'warm blonde,' or 'warm auburn' instead of 'cool red'
Try This →

Tip: Warm skin tones look better with warm shades (golden, caramel, copper). Cool skin tones look better with cool shades (ash, platinum, burgundy).

Hair texture or volume changed

Why: The AI altered the hair's natural texture or density along with the color.

Try: Specify: 'change ONLY the hair color — preserve exact hair texture, volume, and style'
Try This →

Tip: Color-only changes should keep everything else identical. Explicit preservation instructions prevent unwanted changes.

Quick answers

How specific should my prompt be to get a good AI Hair Color Preview result on the first try?

One sentence is usually enough: 'preview the hair color.' If the first result is off, refine with details — color, position, lighting, or what to keep. Each pass takes 20-45 seconds and runs separately, so you can compare. Free first edit per week, no signup.

Can I compare different hair colors on the same selfie?

Yes. Upload your selfie once, then run separate edits — 'honey blonde,' 'auburn red,' 'pastel pink.' Each generates a preview for side-by-side comparison before your salon visit.

Is there a free hair color preview without signup?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload a selfie, describe the color, and see it in 30 seconds. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99 for trying multiple shades.

How do I see what a hair color looks like on me?

Upload a selfie to EditThisPic and type 'change my hair to [color].' The AI applies the color realistically in 20-30 seconds. Free, no app download, works in any browser.

What hair colors can the AI preview?

Any natural color (blonde, brunette, red, black), fashion colors (pink, blue, purple, silver), techniques (balayage, highlights, ombre), and specific shades. Describe the exact color you want.

Can I preview highlights or balayage?

Yes. Specify the technique: 'add caramel balayage highlights to my dark brown hair' or 'add platinum blonde highlights around my face.' The AI renders the technique realistically.

Can I show the preview to my hair stylist?

Yes. Download the preview and bring it to your appointment. It shows the exact color on your actual face — much more useful than showing the stylist a photo of a different person's hair.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser. Take a selfie and try hair colors on your phone. No app download needed.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
