How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose a photo where the hair is visible. Photos with good lighting work best - the AI needs to see the hair's current shape and where it falls. Works on all hair types: straight, wavy, curly, or coily.

    Expect: Simple volume boost (subtle lift): 8-12 seconds. Dramatic volume changes (flat to very full): 15-18 seconds.

  2. Describe the volume you want

    Type what kind of volume you're looking for. Simple phrases work: "add volume to the hair", "make hair fuller and thicker", "give hair more body at the roots", or "volumize the hair completely". The AI understands volume levels - no need to mark the hair area first. Just describe the end result.

    Tip: Specify where you want volume: "add volume at the crown" or "volumize the roots" gives more targeted results than just "add volume". You can also request specific levels like "subtle volume" or "dramatic volume".

    Try This →
    Natural subtle lift Add subtle volume for a natural, slightly fuller look
    Try This →
    Texture-specific volume Volumize the curls, making them bigger and bouncier
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Check that the volume looks natural and proportional to the face. Good volume enhancements should look like styled hair, not artificial puffiness. The hair should maintain its texture while looking fuller.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the AI added volume everywhere when you only wanted it at the crown, tap a marker on the specific area (crown, roots, sides) you want volumized, then regenerate. This is optional - most volume enhancements work with description alone.

    Tip: Markers are perfect for asymmetric volume adjustments - like adding volume to one side only, or lifting just the top layers while keeping the bottom sleek.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI hair volume — bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying hair volume to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using hair volume on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue — 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better hair volume than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
📷

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with hair volume.

Common Scenarios

  • Using hair volume on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying hair volume to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with hair volume for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size — overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure hair volume looks natural, not over-processed
📷

Social Media & Personal Sharing

Make your personal photos look their best before sharing with friends, family, or followers using hair volume.

Common Scenarios

  • Quickly applying hair volume to vacation photos before posting on social media
  • Using hair volume on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with hair volume before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share — fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing — keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors hair volume accordingly

If something looks off

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.

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.

The volume looks artificial or puffy rather than natural

Why: Too much volume was added too quickly, or the AI expanded the hair in unrealistic ways.

Try: Reduce the amount: 'Add subtle volume' or 'Add slight volume for a natural look' instead of asking for dramatic changes
Try This →

Tip: Start with subtle volume enhancements. You can always regenerate with 'more volume' if the first result is too conservative.

Volume was added but the hair texture changed

Why: The AI sometimes modifies texture when adding volume, especially dramatic volume increases.

Try: Specify to keep texture: 'Add volume to the hair while keeping it straight' or 'Volumize the curls without changing the curl pattern'
Try This →

Tip: If you want volume only (not texture changes), explicitly state the current texture should be maintained.

Volume was added everywhere but I only wanted it in one spot

Why: General prompts like 'add volume' apply to the entire hair area without targeting specific sections.

Try: Be more specific about location: 'Add volume only at the crown' or 'Volumize just the top layers, keep the bottom flat'
Try This →

Tip: For targeted volume, always mention the specific area (roots, crown, sides, top layers) in your description.

The volume made the hair shape look unnatural

Why: Volume enhancements need to follow the natural fall and flow of hair, which can be tricky with certain angles or lighting.

Try: Add 'natural-looking' to your prompt: 'Add volume to the hair, natural-looking salon-style volume'
Try This →

Tip: Front-facing photos work best for volume enhancements. Side angles and complex lighting can make results look less natural.

Not enough volume was added

Why: The AI interpreted your request conservatively to avoid overdoing it.

Try: Increase intensity: 'Add dramatic volume' or 'Make the hair significantly more voluminous throughout'
Try This →

Tip: Words like 'dramatic', 'significant', or 'lots of' signal to the AI you want a major change, not subtle enhancement.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the hair before describing what I want?

No! Just describe the volume you want ("add volume to hair" or "volumize the crown") and the AI detects and enhances the hair automatically. Only use markers if the AI added volume to the wrong area - for example, if you wanted crown volume only but it volumized everything.

How do I enhance hair volume for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic, type the volume enhancement you want ("add volume to hair", "lift the roots", "make hair fuller"), and the AI boosts volume instantly. Free to use with no signup required and no watermark on your downloads.

Will adding volume change my hair color or texture?

No, volume enhancements only affect fullness and body. Your hair color, texture, and style stay the same - the AI just makes it look fuller and more lifted. If texture changes, specify in your prompt: "add volume while keeping hair straight".

Can I add volume to just one section of hair?

Yes! Describe the specific area in your prompt ("add volume at the crown" or "volumize only the roots") or use markers to target a specific section. This is perfect for asymmetric styles or fixing one flat area.

Does this work on all hair types?

Yes, the AI enhances volume on straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair. The enhancement adapts to your hair type - curly hair gets bigger, bouncier curls while straight hair gets lift and body. Results look natural for each texture.

Is EditThisPic's AI hair volume enhancer really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I enhance hair volume on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI hair volume enhancer support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
