How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for gray hair editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Remove the gray hairs and restore the natural darker hair color.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Mention the specific hair texture you want: 'smooth', 'textured', or 'glossy'.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Preserve surrounding detail remove gray hair while preserving all surrounding details and textures exactly as they are
    Try This →
    Multiple instances at once remove all visible gray hair from the entire photo, clean and seamless result
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Zoom in on facial details — check that skin tones look natural, edges blend seamlessly, and no artifacts appear around the hairline, jawline, or eyes. Use the before/after slider to compare.

  4. Refine if needed

    If specific facial features need adjustment — asymmetric eyes, unnatural skin smoothing, or hairline artifacts — tap markers on those spots and describe the fix. Fine-tune until the result looks like a natural photo.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

Remove unwanted gray hair from professional photo shoots, client deliverables, and stock photography to achieve clean, polished results.

Common Scenarios

  • Client portrait sessions where the gray hair appeared unexpectedly in frame
  • Stock photography that needs the gray hair removed for broader commercial appeal
  • Product photography with distracting gray hair in the background

Best Practices

  • Zoom in and place a marker directly on the gray hair for the most accurate removal
  • Run a second pass if any faint outlines or shadows remain after the first edit
  • Describe the desired background fill — e.g., 'replace the gray hair with clean wall' for predictable results
📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

Clean up property photos by removing gray hair that distract buyers and lower perceived home value.

Common Scenarios

  • Listing photos where the gray hair clutters the frame and makes rooms look smaller
  • Exterior shots with gray hair that hurt curb appeal
  • Open house photos that need the gray hair removed before uploading to MLS

Best Practices

  • Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
  • After removing the gray hair, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
  • Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent
📷

Personal & Social Media

Fix personal photos by removing gray hair before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

  • Vacation photos where the gray hair appeared in an otherwise perfect shot
  • Family photos with gray hair that distract from the people in the frame
  • Profile pictures and dating app photos that need the gray hair cleaned out

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the gray hair carefully to avoid affecting nearby people
  • If the first result isn't perfect, try rewording your prompt with more detail about the background

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

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

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Remove the gray hairs and restore the natural darker hair color, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Hair edges look jagged or cut out

Why: Individual hair strands weren't properly rendered, creating a hard, unnatural boundary.

Try: Regenerate with 'smooth, natural hair edges with realistic flyaway strands'
Try This →

Tip: Mention the specific hair texture you want: 'smooth', 'textured', or 'glossy' for best results.

New hair color looks painted on

Why: The color was applied uniformly without the natural variation of real hair.

Try: Add 'natural hair color with subtle highlights, lowlights, and variation throughout'
Try This →

Tip: Specify 'with natural highlights and depth' so the color doesn't look like a flat overlay.

Hairline transition looks unnatural

Why: The boundary between the new hairstyle and the forehead/face looks abrupt or fake.

Try: Regenerate with 'natural hairline transition with baby hairs and soft edges'
Try This →

Tip: Baby hairs and a soft hairline make the difference between 'edited' and 'natural' looking hair.
