Best AI Tools for Hairstyles
Did you know that AI can help you virtually try a new hairstyle before taking a haircut?
That’s right, there are AI tools that let you play with different hairstyles and hair colors so you can make more informed decisions.
In other words, with AI, the days of visiting the barber without a clear idea of what you want your hair to look like are gone.
You just have to try one of these services out and see just how powerful they are. You will be amazed at the results and your confidence when deciding to have a new haircut. Here are some of the best tools for hairstyles:
HairstyleAI by Postcrafts PTE LTD
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Lets everyone try out new hairstyles
- A face-saving feature (and definitely time-saving)
- Rendered images are amazing (and indistinguishable from real photos)
- There is no free plan, you must pay to try it (luckily, it's not expensive)
Getting a new hairstyle can be challenging. Luckily, there’s an AI for that, with HairstyleAI allowing everyone to virtually try out a new hairstyle before committing to any big changes.
The easy-to-use service lets you upload your selfies (for best results, make sure they are taken against a plain background and with good lighting), and generate an entire photo shoot in just one hour. You’ll get 30 unique hairstyles, 4 different poses/haircuts and 120 HD photos that are indistinguishable from real photos.
This way, you get to try out new haircuts virtually before getting the real thing cut.
After HairstyleAI trains its AI model with input photos, rendered avatars and models are then deleted from their servers/GPU API’s within 7 days. You can also choose to delete them faster by clicking on the “Delete” button.
The service is relatively new, but that hasn’t stopped over 1,200 users from generating more than 150,000 AI hairstyles (as of October 2023). It is a one face- and time-saving service, and we love it.
AIhairstyles
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- A must-have service for anyone thinking about radically changing their hair
- Multiple hairstyles supported
- Works even with a single selfie
- You cannot try it for free
AIhairstyles lets you discover and virtually try out different hairstyles in seconds. Yes, this means that you can see what you’d look like with a new hairstyle and/or a new hair color.
The tool offers many styles for both men and women, and we’re sure you will be able to find the one that suits your taste.
In order to get started, you should upload 1-4 selfies and then use the tool to mask your hair and even around your face so that AI can show you photos with long hair, as well.
Then, you choose a style or more of them, and you’ll get an email when your photos are ready.
Once you get that email and click on the link provided, you will get to see how you would look with a different hair — and only then make your move. It’s a time- and shame-saving service. 😉
YouCam Makeup by Perfect Corp
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Virtually try more than 20 hairstyles
- And over 100 hair colors and trendy hair dye patterns
- Not just for hair
- Most features are available only through premium membership
YouCam Makeup is one of the most popular mobile apps for makeup, hairstyle, and retouching — which is, unsurprisingly, popular among Instagram users. However, we should add that we have heard about it being used across other social media sites as well.
The tool lets you instantly try more than 20 hairstyles with the AI hairstyle simulation, including buzz cut short hair, bob, long hair, and more. Also, it supports over 100 hair colors and trendy hair dye patterns like ombre, two-tone, and highlights.
As such, YouCam Makeup could be a real time-saver as you get to see how you would look with a certain hairstyle before actually visiting a barber shop.
Beyond hair, the app also offers hundreds of the “hottest AR makeup filters,” as well as the largest collection of cosmetics. You can use it to try a wide variety of lipstick colors, eye makeup, contour, blush, and foundation.
Finally, we should also mention YouCam Makeup’s ability to change your fashion style, outfit, and to cartoonize your selfies — as well as its powerful face editing tools that let you change the shape of your face, eyes, nose, lips and more.
Fotor Hairstyle Changer
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Multiple hairstyles and colors to choose from
- Mobile app lets you do it while on the go
- Part of the bigger Fotor package
- If you only need it for hairstyling, there are better tools out there
Part of the AI-powered Fotor photo editing tool, Fotor Hairstyle Changer lets you magically try on different hairstyles to find your perfect hair makeover.
Backed up by cutting-edge AI, the tool offers different hairstyles — including curly hair, long hair, buzz cut, and much more — which you can try before actual haircuts.
If you are worried about the final effect of a haircut at a barber’s, Fotor recommends a hairstyle test before committing to a real hair makeover. That’s where their haircut simulator kicks in, allowing you to get a free virtual hairstyle try-on and quickly find the hairstyle that “makes you stunning.”
Beyond style, you can also change the color of your hair — with many different shades included in the package.
Fotor Hairstyle Changer is available both online and through a mobile app, which lets you play with your hair even while on the go.
Whichever option you select, you will have to provide your selfie to the tool – and take it from there.
Change Hairstyle AI
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Super easy to use
- A ton of different hairstyles to choose from
- And the same is true for colors and shades
- The website and UI is too simplistic
As its name says, this tool allows you to change your hairstyle with AI. It is super easy to use and can potentially save you money and a lot of time in trying out a new haircut.
The somewhat simplistic interface lets you choose between a number of different styles, including Afro, Bob cut, Bowl cut, Braid, Caesar cut, Chignon, Cornrows, Dreadlocks, Extensions, Fade, Fauxhawk, Finger waves, French braid, Full crown, Mohawk, Taper cut, and many others.
You also get to choose the shade (Dark, Regular, Light) and color (Black, Blonde, Blue, Brown, Ginger, Green, Grey, Indigo, Orange, Pink, Red, Violet, White, Yellow).
Then, you just upload your photo, and you’re good to go.
We would appreciate a slightly fancier interface, but we must say that Change Hairstyle AI gets the job done.
How can AI help your hairstyle?
As noted above, these AI tools let you virtually try out different hairstyles before making a decision that you could regret for the next few months. Here’s what they can do:
-
Virtual tryouts
This is the main point of these sorts of services – you get to see how you would like with a different hairstyle. No need to make costly mistakes when you can first try out a new hairstyle. The risk is pretty much eliminated with these AI tools.
-
Multiple hairstyles
Most of these tools offer different hairstyles and colors. Also, some of them will let you try out all of their styles from a single photo. On the other hand, there are others that let you first select the hairstyle and then produce the resulting image.
-
Different colors
Also, all of these services support different hair colors and shades. This allows you to experiment as much as you want. Perhaps you find the right hairstyle, but your existing hair color doesn’t do it justice. Feel free to try it with a different shade.
-
Easy to use
All services are super easy to use, requiring one or just a few selfies in order to “do their thing.” They will then figure out where your face is and where to put the new haircut on the image. Yes, it’s like magic and we love it for that.
-
It’s already working
You may not want to be the first to try out something new and that’s ok. However, you should know that these services have been around for quite some time now, with the best tools boasting a few thousand users. So, you will definitely not be the first one to use these services. Quite the contrary.
The way we see things, using AI to pick your new hairstyle is not just cool but also potentially time- and money-saving. Cause if you do it the “old school way,” you could easily make a decision you will regret for the months to come. So feel free to try out these services and let us know how you like them. Thanks and good luck!
