Replace Hair Color in Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload a portrait photo with hair clearly visible

   Use a well-lit photo where the full hair is visible — a front-facing or three-quarter portrait works best. Make sure the hair isn't blending into a similarly colored background, as this can confuse the color boundary. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Photos with good contrast between the hair and background give the AI sharp strand-level data. Outdoor bright sun can bleach fine hair edges — natural window light produces the most accurate results.
2. 2

   Describe the new hair color precisely

   Type the color with as much detail as you want: 'change the hair color to rich copper auburn with a natural warm shine' gives far better results than just 'red hair.' Include the finish ('glossy', 'matte', 'natural'), the technique ('balayage', 'full dye', 'highlights', 'ombre'), and any undertones. The AI responds to haircolor vocabulary the same way a colorist would.

   Tip: Naming the technique changes the result dramatically. 'Highlights' adds lighter streaks through existing hair. 'Ombre' fades from dark at roots to light at ends. 'Balayage' adds hand-painted lighter tones. Use the exact technique name for the most accurate preview.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Classic blonde — natural and warm change the hair color to warm golden blonde with soft natural highlights, glossy finish, keep the hairstyle and volume exactly as in the original

   Balayage technique — salon-style preview change the hair to a brunette balayage with warm caramel highlights painted through the mid-lengths and ends, dark brown at the roots fading to honey blonde at the tips, natural glossy shine

   Copy Try This →

   Bold pastel — try before dyeing replace the hair color with a soft dusty rose pastel pink, evenly distributed from roots to ends, slightly muted rather than neon bright, natural texture preserved

   Rich red — auburn or copper change the hair to a rich copper auburn with deep warm undertones, the kind of red that looks natural in sunlight, not orange or fire-engine red, glossy finish

   Ombre fade change the hair to a dark chocolate brown to warm honey blonde ombre, the roots should be dark and gradually fade to lighter at the ends, natural transition, no harsh line

   Bold statement — vivid blue or purple replace the hair color with deep midnight blue, rich and saturated, slight sheen in the light, even coverage throughout — not electric blue, more like a deep navy-indigo

   Check edges, strand detail, and skin tone

   Zoom to 100% on the hairline — the forehead edge and temple area are where the color transition is most visible. Verify that the skin tone is unchanged and that flyaway strands are correctly colored rather than left as the original shade.

   Refine with markers for precise edge fixes

   If a patch of original hair color is visible near the hairline or if one section wasn't fully recolored, tap a marker on that area and regenerate with 'extend the [new color] to this area.' Markers are optional — most portraits work in one pass.

   Tip: Markers are most useful for photos with complex hairlines (curly hair, bangs, or hair against a bright background). Try without markers first.
