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 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: 'Straighten the hair for a sleek, smooth look.' 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:

    Sleek Straight Straighten the hair to a sleek, smooth style with a glossy finish
    Try This →
    Natural Straight Straighten the hair but keep it looking natural, not pin-straight
    Try This →
    Blowout Straight Give the hair a blowout-style straightening with volume and bounce at the ends
    Try This →
    Long and Straight Make the hair look long and pin-straight like a professional flat-iron job
    Try This →

    Half Straight Straighten the top layers while keeping subtle wave at the ends
    Try This →
    Professional quality result straighten hair with professional quality, clean composition, and balanced lighting

    Deciding on a new look before committing straighten hair with a natural, realistic result — I want to see exactly how this would look in real life before I commit to the change

    Eye-catching creative version straighten hair with vibrant colors and striking visual impact for social media

  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.

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: Straighten the hair for a sleek, smooth look, 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.
