Thinking about a bob instead of shoulder-length hair? Start by describing where the ends should sit, the outline of the cut, and the parting. This illustration shows a chin-length bob direction, not a tested transformation of an uploaded photo. Our shared image editor uses your prompt and an optional reference; it does not apply a dedicated hairstyle preset. Use a preview to explore an idea, then discuss the cut with your stylist.
1008.ai hairstyle guide · Updated . All nine images are AI-generated hairstyle concepts. Their comparisons, detail insets, and interface labels are illustrations, not verified photo-editing results or screenshots of website features. The prompt examples below are suggested starting points, not tested recipes or the recorded prompts behind these images.
Choose the main shape before adding color or styling details. These concepts offer starting points for women's and men's hairstyles, not clickable presets or personalized recommendations. Describe the features you want rather than relying on a haircut name alone.
Specify ends at the collarbone, loose waves, and soft layers around the face. This separates the length from the texture: shoulder-length straight hair and collarbone waves are different requests. Mention whether you want the forehead visible and where the part should sit.
Describe a short pixie with tapered sides, a longer top, and an airy side-swept fringe. Short haircuts can expose ears and the hairline, so inspect those areas closely in a generated preview. The concept does not predict how your natural hair will fall after a cut.
For a men's haircut direction, distinguish a textured top from the shorter sides. Ask for a low taper and a matte finish if that is the look you want. Check the sideburns, ears, and hairline rather than judging only the overall silhouette.
A useful hairstyle prompt separates the cut, fringe or part, texture, and color. Add what you want to keep, then inspect whether the result followed those requests. Keep your prompt within 1,000 characters. These examples are guidance, not a guarantee of precise hair-only editing.
Suggested prompt: Change the hairstyle to a chin-length blunt bob with a center part and dark brown hair. Keep the facial features, expression, clothing, and background as close to the original as possible. Use this with a photo reference; without one, the tool generates a new person rather than editing your selfie. Preservation instructions are requests, not an identity lock.
Suggested prompt: Add soft curtain bangs that part in the middle and blend into the cheekbone-length front layers. Keep the existing hair length, color, and wave pattern as close to the reference as possible. To compare bangs with no bangs, start each attempt from the same authorized photo and change only that phrase. Separate generations can still differ in other details.
Suggested prompt: Change the hair color to a soft copper shade with a natural-looking finish. Keep the haircut, parting, facial features, and background as close to the reference as possible. Avoid combining a new color, drastic cut, and new lighting in one comparison. A screen preview cannot predict salon dye results on your hair.
Use this virtual hairstyle try-on as a creative exploration, not a measured simulation of a haircut. The tool uses general AI image generation and editing. It does not analyze your face shape, score suitability, or provide a hair-only mask.
Use one authorized JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo smaller than 50 MiB. Choose a well-lit portrait with the whole head visible and minimal obstruction from hats, hands, or hair accessories. References are compressed before upload, which can lose detail; original photo quality is not preserved. A reference helps guide the edit but does not guarantee likeness.
Select 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, or 2:3 and a 1K, 2K, or up to 4K setting. The default is 2K square; output does not automatically inherit the reference photo's proportions. Pixel dimensions depend on the selected ratio. Leave room above and beside the hair when framing a portrait, and save a copy of any result you want to keep.
Compare facial features, ears, hairline, glasses, clothing, and background with your reference. If something changed unintentionally, simplify the request and return to the original photo for another attempt. Regeneration uses credits and may change other details again. A stylist can assess hair density, texture, and maintenance needs that a generated image cannot establish.
Start with one change you want to explore. The composer opens the shared image workspace; writing a prompt here does not itself generate an image. You will need to sign in before uploading a reference or generating.
Describe your idea here or open the image workspace directly. On mobile, the landing composer passes your text, so add the reference photo and choose settings inside the workspace. Use your own photo or one you have permission to edit. Without a reference, you can create hairstyle inspiration rather than a preview of yourself.
Specify the length, cut, fringe or part, texture, and color. State what you want to retain. Choose your ratio and resolution, then check the credit cost before generating: 3 credits at 1K, 4 at the default 2K, or 5 at up to 4K. Each new generation is a separate attempt.
Inspect both the hair and the rest of the photo. Download a result you want to keep and note the details you like, such as chin-length ends or a softer fringe. Bring it to a stylist as a conversation reference, not a promise of the same real-world cut or color. Keep your own copy; permanent storage is not promised.
New accounts receive 50 free registration credits, valid for 30 days from account creation. These credits are shared across image and video tools, not reserved for hairstyles. Images cost 3 credits at 1K, 4 at the default 2K, or 5 at up to 4K. Generation requires sign-in and enough credits. This is a limited allowance, not unlimited free use. See plans and credit options.
You can browse this page without an account. Sign in to upload a reference and generate in the workspace. On your phone, write an idea here, continue to the workspace, then add your photo and choose image settings. You can also open the image workspace directly. The landing composer passes text on mobile; it does not transfer a reference photo or custom settings through that mobile path.
Use one clear JPEG, PNG, or WebP portrait smaller than 50 MiB, with the whole head visible. HEIC and HEIF are not supported reference formats. Avoid heavy filters and objects covering the hair. The photo is compressed before upload, so fine details may be lost. Our image-to-image workflow uses the reference alongside your written instructions; it does not guarantee an exact likeness.
Yes. Use a clear photo and ask the AI to change only the hairstyle while retaining your facial features, expression, clothing, and background. AI can follow these instructions to create a hairstyle preview while keeping you recognizable. Compare the result with your original and refine the prompt if needed; exact preservation of every detail is not guaranteed.
No. There is no face-shape analysis or suitability score. You can explore visual directions such as a bob, pixie, bangs, curls, or a different hair color, but the preview is not a professional recommendation. Your hair's density, natural texture, growth pattern, and maintenance routine matter. Discuss those with a stylist. For inspiration without a selfie, use a prompt in our text-to-image tool.
Uploads and creations are private by default and are not automatically published to a public gallery. Our policy states that 1008.ai does not use them to train AI models; external service providers may process content to fulfill generation requests. This is not on-device-only processing or a promise of immediate deletion. Read the privacy and AI-processing policy. For account or deletion requests, contact support@1008.ai.
Choose one cut, fringe, curl pattern, or color to explore. Start with a clear photo and a specific prompt, review what changed, and save the details you want to discuss with your stylist.
