How the short hair filter changes your photo

The filter only touches your hair. It replaces the current length with a modern short cut and leaves your face, expression, clothes and background as they were. The style it aims for is clean and contemporary: cropped, sleek and salon-finished rather than messy. There are no sliders to set. You upload, pick a model and compare results.

  1. 01

    A modern short cut

    Bobs, crops and pixie-style cuts with a finished salon look, chosen to fit the photo.

  2. 02

    Your face stays yours

    Facial features, skin tone and expression are kept, so the preview is about the hair and not a new face.

  3. 03

    Same hair color, new length

    Your current shade usually carries into the new cut, so you judge the length, not a dye job.

  4. 04

    Two models

    GPT Image 2.5 (8 credits, square image) or Nano Banana 2.1 (4 credits) for quick comparisons.

How to try short hair on your photo

Three steps and no settings to learn.

  1. 01

    Upload a clear selfie

    Upload a front-facing JPG or PNG with your hair down and visible.

    Skip the hat and don't tuck hair behind your ears. The AI needs to see where your hair starts.

  2. 02

    Choose a model

    This template has no cut options, only the model: GPT Image 2.5 (8 credits, default) or Nano Banana 2.1 (4 credits).

    Run the same selfie on both models. They often pick different short cuts.

  3. 03

    Compare and save

    Generate a few versions and download the ones you like.

    Put your favorite next to your original photo before you book. Side by side, the decision gets much easier.

When people try the short hair filter

Most people use it right before a big decision. Someone with waist-length hair wants to see a bob before donating a ponytail. Others are bored after a long winter, planning a summer cut, or arguing with friends about whether a pixie would suit them. Stylists use it too, to show nervous clients a preview.

  • Before the big chop

    Test a short cut on your own face before cutting off years of growth.

  • Hair donation plans

    Giving away a long ponytail? See what will be left on you first, so the new look isn't a shock.

  • Salon consultations

    Stylists show clients a preview on their own photo, which makes the talk about length much easier.

  • Settling a group chat debate

    Friends keep saying you'd look great with short hair? Post the preview and let them vote.

Short Hair Filter FAQ

What the short hair preview can and can't tell you before a haircut.

It shows a realistic picture of your own face with a short cut, which is often enough to decide. Look at how the length frames your jaw, cheekbones and neck. It is still an AI edit, not a stylist's assessment, so treat it as a strong hint. Running two or three versions helps you see whether you like short hair in general or just one particular cut.
There is no cut selector in this template. The AI picks a modern short style that suits the photo, and separate runs often land on different cuts, from a chin-length bob to a cropped pixie. To compare, generate a few times and keep the ones you like. When you want one specific cut, a screenshot shows your stylist more than any description would.
Yes, if you want to see a different short style. The filter restyles whatever hair is in the photo, so a grown-out crop can come back as a cleaner, sharper cut. It also helps men deciding between keeping some length on top and going shorter, because the result aims for a neat, contemporary look rather than a messy one.
That is one of the best uses. Download the image and bring it to your appointment so the stylist sees the length and shape you liked on your own face, not on a model. Mention that it is an AI preview. Your stylist will still adjust for density, cowlicks and texture, which a photo cannot fully predict.
A front-facing selfie in daylight with your hair down and visible works best. Hats, hands near the face and heavy filters confuse the edit. Long hair pulled over one shoulder is fine. The output follows the model's standard resolution, so a sharp original gives a sharper preview.
Each preview is one image: 8 credits with GPT Image 2.5 (the default, square output) or 4 credits with Nano Banana 2.1. New accounts get free credits plus a daily check-in bonus, which covers several tries. A real short haircut costs far more and takes months to grow back, so testing first is cheap insurance.
