## How to read a hairstyle idea

Every hairstyle is a handful of decisions. Change one at a time and you will always know what made the difference.

- **Length**: Where the hair ends: cropped, chin, jaw, shoulder or mid-back. Length changes your look more than anything else.
- **Shape and layers**: Blunt or layered, rounded or choppy, tapered or squared at the nape. Layers add movement; blunt ends add weight.
- **Fringe and parting**: Curtain, blunt, wispy or side-swept bangs, a middle or a side part. Small changes here frame the face differently.
- **Texture and color**: Straight, wavy, curly or coily, and the shade. Keep your own texture for a realistic preview, or test a perm or a new color.

## How to use a hairstyle idea

1. **Pick an idea**: Find a length or type below and press Try it, or copy the text.
2. **Upload your selfie**: Add one clear photo of yourself in the generator.
3. **Adjust one detail**: Change the length, the color or the fringe in the text, then generate.

## AI hairstyles for women and men

The same catalog works for anyone: a buzz cut, a bob or curtain bangs are not reserved for one gender. Many women start with layers, bobs, bangs and color; many men start with fades, crops, quiffs and beards. Mix freely, and add “same color” or “same hairstyle” to change one thing at a time.


## Matching an idea to your hair type

A cut photographed on straight hair looks different on curls, and the other way round. When you try an idea, keep your own texture in the request (“on my natural curls”, “keep my waves”) for a realistic result, and ask for a texture change only if you plan to perm, relax or straighten your hair.

## Hairstyle ideas FAQ

### Are these photos of real people?

No. The ideas are written style recipes, and any pictures of people on this site are AI-generated illustrations of fictional adults, not customers. Your result is generated from your own selfie, so it shows you with the hairstyle you choose.

### Can I change an idea?

Yes. Edit the text in the generator before you press the button: change the length, the color or the fringe. The instructions that keep your face are added automatically.

### Which hairstyle ideas are lowest maintenance?

Usually the ones that work with your natural texture: long layers on wavy hair, natural curls or an afro, a buzz cut, or a lob that grows out evenly. Blunt bobs, fades and very short pixies need trims more often.

### Do the ideas cost anything?

Browsing and copying them costs nothing. You pay credits only when you generate an image: 20 with Preview or 45 with Detail.
