How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose a photo where the hair is clearly visible. Front-facing photos work best. Hair should be well-lit and not heavily covered by accessories. The AI works on all hair types and lengths.

    Expect: Simple texture changes (straight to wavy): 8-12 seconds. Complex changes (straight to tight coils): 15-20 seconds.
  2. Describe the texture you want

    Type exactly what texture you want the hair to have. Be specific: "make hair wavy", "change to tight curls", "give hair beach waves", or "make hair straight and sleek". The AI understands texture patterns - no need to mark the hair area first. Just describe the end result you're looking for.

    Tip: Use texture descriptors like 'loose waves', 'tight coils', 'kinky texture', or '3B curls' for more precise results. The more specific your description, the better the match.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Straight to wavy (most common) Make the hair wavy with loose beach waves
    Straight to curly Change the hair to have tight spiral curls
    Curly to straight Straighten the hair completely, sleek and smooth
    Natural curl pattern exploration Give the hair a 3C curl pattern with defined coils
    3 more prompts
    Wavy to kinky texture Change to a kinky coily texture throughout
    Subtle texture enhancement Add soft waves to the hair, keeping it mostly straight
    Specific section texture Make just the bottom half of the hair curly while keeping the top straight
  3. Review the result

    Check that the texture change looks natural and matches what you requested. Pay attention to how the new texture falls and frames the face. The transformation should look realistic with proper light and shadow.

Quick answers

How specific should my prompt be to get a good Change Hair Texture in Photo with AI result on the first try?

One sentence is usually enough: 'Make the hair wavy with loose beach waves.' 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.

How do I change hair texture for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic, type the texture you want ("make hair curly", "straighten hair", "add beach waves"), and the AI transforms it instantly. Free to use with no signup required and no watermark on your downloads.

Can I preview different curl patterns before getting a perm?

Yes, that's a perfect use case. Try prompts like "give hair 3B curls" or "tight spiral curls" or "loose waves" to see how different curl patterns would look on you before committing to chemical treatments or styling.

Will the texture change look natural on my hair type?

The AI maintains the natural characteristics of your hair (color, shine, thickness) while changing texture. Gradual changes (straight to wavy, wavy to curly) typically look more natural than extreme jumps (straight to kinky coils), but you can try any combination.

Can I change texture on only part of the hair?

Yes! This works great for creating ombre texture effects or testing how curls would look just on the ends.
