How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. High-resolution photos where individual stray hairs are visible produce the best cleanup results.

    Expect: Light flyaway cleanup: 20-30 seconds. Heavy frizz across the frame: 30-45 seconds and may need refinements.
  2. Describe what to remove

    Type what you want: 'remove the flyaway hairs' or 'clean up stray hairs around the head and shoulders.' No marking needed—the AI identifies and removes wispy strands while preserving the main hairstyle.

    Tip: Be specific about location: 'remove flyaway hairs above the head' or 'clean up wisps around the face' for targeted cleanup.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    General flyaway cleanup remove all flyaway and stray hairs, keep the main hairstyle looking clean and polished
    Headshot hair cleanup clean up the stray hairs around the head and face for a polished professional headshot look
    Wind-blown hair fix remove the wind-blown stray hairs flying across the face and background
    Frizzy edges smooth the frizzy hair edges and remove the wispy strands around the hair outline
    3 more prompts
    Baby hairs on forehead clean up the baby hairs and wispy strands along the forehead hairline
    Hairs on clothing remove the stray hairs that fell on the shoulders and clothing
    Selective cleanup remove only the stray hairs above the head silhouette, keep all other hair as is
  3. Review the cleanup

    Check that stray hairs are gone and the main hairstyle still looks natural. Zoom in on the hair outline and edges where flyaways were most visible. Verify the background behind removed hairs looks seamless.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If specific stray hairs remain or the AI removed hairs you wanted to keep, tap markers on those exact spots and regenerate. Most flyaway removal works perfectly on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

"Every headshot session has flyaway hair issues. I used to spend 10 minutes per photo in Photoshop cloning them out. Now one prompt handles it in seconds." @HeadshotPro_Dan

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which hairs you meant from description alone. This happens when some flyaways are intentional styling.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific stray hairs you want removed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THESE hairs specifically.' Use them when you want selective removal.

AI removed too much hair and made it look thin

Why: The AI interpreted some thinner sections of your actual hairstyle as stray hairs and removed them along with the flyaways.

Try: remove only the flyaway hairs that are clearly separated from the main hair mass, keep all hair volume intact

Tip: 'Clearly separated from the main hair mass' tells the AI to only target obvious strays, not thin sections.

Some stray hairs remain after cleanup

Why: Very fine or transparent hairs can be difficult for the AI to detect in a single pass, especially against complex backgrounds.

Try: Tap markers on the remaining stray hairs and regenerate: remove these specific remaining flyaway strands

Tip: A second pass with markers on the remaining strays usually catches everything the first pass missed.

Background behind removed hairs looks smudged

Why: The AI had to reconstruct the background where hairs were removed. Complex or detailed backgrounds are harder to fill seamlessly.

Try: remove the flyaway hairs and reconstruct the background cleanly behind them, matching the surrounding area

Tip: Adding 'reconstruct the background cleanly' explicitly tells the AI to pay attention to background quality.

Hair outline looks unnaturally smooth after cleanup

Why: The AI over-smoothed the hair edges, removing natural texture along with the flyaways.

Try: remove only obvious stray hairs, keep the natural hair edge texture and softness

Tip: 'Natural hair edge texture' tells the AI that some softness at the hair boundary is expected and should be preserved.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark each stray hair before describing what to remove?

No! Just type 'remove flyaway hairs' and the AI identifies and removes them automatically. The AI understands what 'stray hairs' and 'flyaways' mean. Only use markers if specific hairs remain after the first attempt or if you want to remove only certain strays.

How do I remove flyaway hairs from a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove flyaway hairs.' The AI cleans up stray strands in 20-30 seconds while keeping the main hairstyle intact. Free to use, no account required, no watermarks on the result.

Is there a free AI tool to clean up stray hairs without login?

Yes, EditThisPic removes stray and flyaway hairs for free with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe what to clean up, and download the result. No watermarks. Works on portraits, headshots, and any photo with visible flyaways.

Will AI hair removal affect my actual hairstyle?

No. The AI targets only the stray, flyaway, and wispy hairs that are clearly separated from your main hairstyle. Your volume, texture, and style remain unchanged. If it removes too much, specify 'remove only obvious flyaways, keep hair volume intact.'
