AI Short Hair Filter

A portrait reads as a haircut before it reads as a face, so replacing long hair with a bob changes far more than the hair. Your jaw, neck, ears, and hairline all become visible where strands used to sit. The panel above keeps the person and replaces only the style, which means the check afterwards is twofold: is the face still recognisably yours, and does the new hair sit in the same light as the old.

Name the cut in the style box

The form gives you one short field and one free box, and the field does the work. Your wording is dropped straight into the instruction as the replacement hairstyle, so a named cut beats a vague one. The examples on the field show the level of detail to aim at: a sleek bob cut, a textured pixie cut, a classic short wavy cut, or a sharp military-style buzzcut. Use Other Ideas for the fringe, a side part, an undercut, or a note to keep the length above the shoulders. Ask for one cut per run, then change the phrase and run it again.

What a short haircut exposes

Long hair conceals, and short hair has to invent. The hairline across the forehead, the temple, the ear, and the nape all become new drawing, along with the line of the shoulder where hair previously fell over clothing. Those are also the spots where a result looks pasted on: a hairline set too low, an ear that came out slightly the wrong size, a neckline rebuilt because the collar was hidden.

Judging new hair against an old face

The built-in request holds your hair colour, skin tone, and the existing lighting and shadows, and it keeps facial features and identity intact. Mark it in that order. Face first, meaning brows, eye spacing, nose, and jaw. Then the join at the hairline and ears. Then the hair itself, which should have volume, movement, and sheen rather than sitting flat and glossy like a sticker. If short hair is a genuine change for you, show the result to someone who knows your face before you keep it.

Frequently asked questions

about the short hair filter

Do I need to fill in the hair style field?

Yes, write something specific. Your phrase is substituted into the sentence that replaces the current hairstyle, so a blank or generic entry gives a generic short cut rather than the one you had in mind. Two or three words naming the cut, plus any texture, is the pattern the field hints at.

Why does the new hairline look drawn on?

That is the join between rebuilt hair and untouched skin, and it shows most when the previous fringe covered the forehead. Name the hairline and texture you want in the ideas box, then inspect the temples at full zoom instead of in the preview.

Will the rest of my photo change?

The request is a hairstyle replacement that preserves facial features and identity, so pose, framing, and background should carry over. Compare the two files side by side anyway, particularly the shoulders and neckline, because clothing that sat under hair is reconstructed.

Can I preview more than one cut from the same photo?

Run the page once per cut and keep each result. Comparing a bob against a pixie from the same source portrait is the practical way to choose before sitting in the chair, and it also shows which style the pass renders most convincingly on your hair colour and face shape.
