How HairChanger works

One photo. One decision at a time.

The strongest comparison keeps the source image consistent and changes a single visual direction before moving to the next choice.

HairChanger sends the selected photo to a generation service, receives a newly created image or video, and returns it to the app. The result is a visual reference, not a prediction of exact salon feasibility.

Four-step process

From source photo to shortlist.

Keep each step intentional so the generated image remains useful after the novelty wears off.

  1. 01

    Choose a clear photo

    Use soft light, a neutral camera angle, and enough room around the head and shoulders.

  2. 02

    Select one direction

    Choose a named haircut, hair color, beard, analysis, makeup, or outfit preset.

  3. 03

    Generate the preview

    The photo is securely sent through the HairChanger backend to the configured AI generation provider.

  4. 04

    Compare and consult

    Review the large visual changes, save useful references, and ask a professional to adapt the idea.

What happens to the image

The processing path, in plain language.

  1. On your iPhone: you select or take a photo and choose a preset.
  2. HairChanger backend: the app uploads the photo with the selected feature and a random app identifier.
  3. Generation provider: the photo and instruction are processed to create the requested result.
  4. Result delivery: HairChanger downloads the finished media, stores it on its server, and returns it to the app.
  5. Optional local save: you can save a person, history item, image, or video on your own device.

Review the right details

Judge structure before individual strands.

Silhouette

Look at total length, top height, and the outline around the face and shoulders.

Placement

Check where fringe, cheek-level width, jaw lines, and color brightness sit.

Routine

Ask whether the real cut or color fits your styling time, budget, and salon frequency.

Feasibility

Let a professional assess density, texture, shrinkage, growth, condition, and chemical history.

Frequently asked questions

How the preview works

Short answers to the practical questions people ask before trying a new look.

Does HairChanger place a wig sticker on the photo?

No. The generation process creates a new image intended to preserve the person while rebuilding the requested hair or style direction.

What makes a good source photo?

Use soft front light, an eye-level camera, a visible hairline and jaw, minimal blur, no beauty filter, and enough background around the hair.

Why can two generations look different?

AI generation is not fully deterministic. Small differences can appear even with the same photo and preset.

What should I show a stylist?

Bring the original photo and two or three preferred previews. Explain the exact fringe, perimeter, top height, side contrast, or color direction you want to preserve.
