Choose a hairstyle
Pick a cut or texture from the library, then set the available length and optional hair color. Start with one question, such as whether a bob or longer cut frames your face better.

How it works
How it works: three steps to a hairstyle preview
Choose a hairstyle, upload one clear photo, then generate and compare. Optional length and color choices belong in step 1; reviewing the result belongs in step 3.
01 02 Upload your photo
Use a centered, front-facing portrait in even light. Keep your forehead, hairline and shoulders visible, and reuse this photo for each comparison.
03 Generate and compare
Generate a preview, check that your face still looks like you, then compare the hair outline and endpoint. Change one variable for the next preview; each requested image uses one credit.
AI illustration of the workflow; the preview images are examples, not product screenshots.
Comparison factors
What to compare in a virtual hairstyle try-on
Check the outline and endpoint first, then the front detail and color. Compare the same feature in every result. The bob and lob image is an AI illustration of length, not an actual try-on result.
Silhouette
Compare the widest part of the outline and whether the ends stop at the chin, collarbone or shoulders.
Face framing
Look at where front layers begin beside the cheeks and jaw; note whether the part opens or covers the forehead.
Volume
Check where fullness sits: crown, cheek level or ends. A fuller preview does not establish your real hair density.
Bangs and front detail
Compare forehead coverage and the shortest fringe pieces. Keep length and color steady for a fringe comparison.
Color contrast
Compare shade depth and warmth against your skin and brows with the same cut and lighting.
Maintenance
Write down questions about styling, trims and upkeep for a stylist; a generated image cannot answer them.
Same-photo comparison
How to compare virtual hairstyles on the same photo
One useful comparison changes one hair variable while holding the portrait constant.
Compare face framing, not just trends
Start with a question you can answer from the image: do the ends frame the jaw or the shoulders, and how much forehead stays visible? Compare the hair rather than changes to the face or lighting.
Change one variable at a time
Compare a bob and a longer cut in the same color first. To test bangs, keep the cut and shade steady. To test color, keep the length and texture steady. Changing all three together makes the winning detail hard to identify.
Check the preview before choosing a favorite
Look for a shifted jawline, missing ears, uneven hair edges or an implausible hairline. If the face changes noticeably, use another preview before judging the hairstyle. Bring a favorite image and a specific question to a stylist.
Hairstyle inspiration: notice where the front layers begin and where the ends sit near the shoulders. This reference is not a preview on your photo.

Can I try a hairstyle from a reference photo?
Yes. Use Reference Hairstyle Try-On when you already have a hairstyle image you are permitted to use. The reference guides cut, length, texture and color together; choose presets here when you want to control those choices separately.
Hairstyle reference
The reference supplies the hairstyle and color direction.
Input portrait
Your portrait supplies the face, pose, outfit and scene.
Generated preview
Review the transferred hair direction and check for unintended changes.

Photo setup
How to take a selfie for a virtual try-on
Use one clear portrait with an unobstructed face. A consistent photo makes differences in the hairstyle easier to judge.
- Face forward: keep your face centered and your eyes visible so both sides can be compared consistently.
- Use soft, even lighting: avoid strong colored light and side shadows, especially when comparing blonde, gray, silver, or dimensional color.
- Keep the hairline visible: move hats, sunglasses, hands, and heavy filters away from the forehead, ears, and hairline.
- Keep the angle simple: avoid a strong tilt or mirror distortion so length, volume, and symmetry remain easier to judge.
Review photo privacy and retention before uploading. Your original selfie and generated previews have different retention periods.

What can a virtual hairstyle try-on predict?
It can show a possible hairstyle direction on your photo. It cannot establish how a real cut, dye or styling routine will work with your hair. The salon image is an AI illustration of a consultation, not a documented appointment.
Useful for comparing
- ✓Visible silhouette, length, volume, texture, bangs and face framing.
- ✓General color contrast and shade direction on the same photo.
- ✓Which visible details you want to discuss with a stylist.
Does not predict
- —Your actual density, cowlicks, growth patterns or curl shrinkage.
- —Styling time, tools, trims or daily upkeep.
- —An exact salon haircut or color result.
- —How chemical processing or heat will affect your actual hair.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I try hairstyles virtually online for free?
Yes. Your first 3 WigTryAI hairstyle generations are free. Choose a look, upload one clear portrait and generate a preview in your browser. Additional generations may require credits; the first generation can be anonymous, and later generations may require sign-in.
How do I try hairstyles on my photo step by step?
Step 1: choose a hairstyle, available length and optional color. Step 2: upload a clear, front-facing photo in even light. Step 3: generate and compare the preview with your original portrait, then change one variable for the next look.
How should I compare several hairstyles without confusing myself?
Reuse one portrait and compare one feature at a time. Start with length and silhouette, then test bangs or texture, and compare color with the cut held steady. Check that your face, expression and lighting have not changed noticeably before choosing a favorite.
Is there a virtual hairstyle try-on without an app?
Yes. WigTryAI runs in a web browser on mobile and desktop, so you do not need to download an app. Generation uses an AI service; it is not performed entirely on your device.
Can I try different hairstyles on the same photo?
Yes. Reuse your uploaded selfie for each preview while changing the selected hairstyle. Keeping the input photo steady helps you compare length, volume and face framing.
Can I compare different hair colors with a virtual hairstyle try-on?
Yes. Select another color while keeping the hairstyle and portrait steady. For a color change using your current hairstyle, use Hair Color Try-On. Generated shades are a visual direction, not a dye formula.
How accurate is virtual hairstyle try-on?
It can help compare visible length, silhouette, texture, bangs and color direction. Review the face, hairline and edges for unintended changes. It cannot guarantee a real haircut, salon result or styling routine.
Do I need to sign up to try hairstyles?
Not for the first generation. You can make your first preview anonymously; later generations may require an account and available credits.
Can I try a hairstyle from a reference photo?
Yes. Use Reference Hairstyle Try-On with a hairstyle image you are permitted to use and a clear portrait. The reference guides the visible cut, texture, length and color together; it does not guarantee an exact copy.
