AI Hairstyle Try-On
Upload a photo and preview hairstyles on your own face in seconds. Our free AI hairstyle try-on detects your face shape, then overlays matching cuts right onto your photo — no sign-up, no payment, and your photo never leaves your device.
How AI Hairstyle Try-On Works
Four steps from photo to preview — all processed locally on your device, every time.
Upload or take a photo
Upload a clear, front-facing photo in natural light, or use your device camera directly in the browser.
AI detects your face shape
MediaPipe Face Landmarker runs entirely in your browser and maps 478 points to classify your face shape — Oval, Round, Square, Heart, Diamond, Oblong, or Triangle.
Pick a hairstyle to try on
Open your personalized recommendations and choose any hairstyle from the list matched to your face shape.
See it on your own photo
The hairstyle is overlaid directly onto your uploaded photo, aligned and rotated to match your head position — then you can download it.
Why This Hairstyle Try-On Is Always Free
Other hairstyle try-on tools charge per render because they send your photo to a paid cloud AI image generator. This one doesn't — everything runs on your own device, so there's no per-use cost to pass on to you.
No sign-up
Start trying on hairstyles immediately — no account, no email, no login.
No payment, ever
Every hairstyle, every face shape, every try-on — completely free, with no paywall or credit limit.
Nothing uploaded to a server
Your photo is processed entirely in your browser using on-device AI — it is never sent anywhere.
No subscription
There is no recurring plan to cancel, because there was never a plan to begin with.
How to Photograph Yourself
A good photo makes every hairstyle preview line up better.
Face the camera directly
Look straight ahead — chin level, not tilted up or down, so the hairstyle overlay aligns correctly.
Pull hair away from your face
Your current hairstyle can block the landmarks the AI uses to detect your face shape and jawline.
Even, natural lighting
Soft daylight from in front is ideal. Strong shadows across one side of your face can affect detection.
Neutral expression
A relaxed expression gives the most accurate face shape reading before you try on hairstyles.
Single face in frame
The tool works best with one person clearly visible in the photo.
High-resolution photo
A clear, sharp photo gives the AI more precise landmark positions to align each hairstyle to.
Try-on looks misaligned? Retake the photo facing the camera directly, in even light, with hair pulled away from your face and no head tilt.

How We Built This Try-On
Face shape classification uses Google's open-source MediaPipe Face Landmarker, the same 478-point model behind every analysis tool on this site, including our face shape calculator. Each hairstyle overlay is then positioned using your detected cheek, forehead, chin, and eye-corner coordinates — the illustration is scaled to your cheek-to-cheek width and rotated to match your head tilt, computed directly from those landmarks rather than placed by eye.
The hairstyle-to-face-shape pairings shown as recommendations follow the same contrast principles covered in our full hairstyles for face shape guide — a cut that introduces a line the face is missing, rather than repeating one it already has. We chose a stylised illustration overlay instead of photorealistic AI rendering specifically so the tool can stay free and fully on-device; that is a deliberate trade-off, not a limitation we're hiding.
Noticed a hairstyle that doesn't align well, or have a style you'd like added? You can submit feedback here — we read every report.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the hairstyle try-on tool and how it works.
Is this hairstyle try-on actually free?
Yes — completely. There is no paywall, no credit card, no per-render fee, and no subscription. Everything on this page, including every hairstyle preview, is free to use as many times as you like.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can upload a photo and start trying on hairstyles immediately — no sign-up, no email address, no login required.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Face shape detection and the hairstyle overlay are both computed entirely in your browser using on-device AI (MediaPipe Face Landmarker). Your photo is never uploaded to or stored on any server.
How does the AI pick hairstyles for me?
The tool first detects your face shape from your photo, then shows a curated list of hairstyles generally considered flattering for that shape — for example, side-swept styles for round faces, or textured crops for square faces. You can preview any of them, not just the suggested ones.
Can I download my try-on photo?
Yes — once a hairstyle preview is ready, a "Download Photo" button saves the result as a PNG to your device.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes — the tool works in any modern mobile or desktop browser. You can upload a photo from your camera roll or take one directly with your device camera.
Why does the hairstyle look like an illustration rather than a photo?
The try-on overlay uses stylised hair illustrations aligned to your face rather than photorealistic AI image generation, which keeps the tool completely free and 100% private — photorealistic AI rendering requires sending your photo to a paid cloud service, which we deliberately avoid.
How many hairstyles can I try on?
You can try on as many hairstyles from your recommendations list as you like, with no daily limit.
What if no face is detected?
Make sure your photo is well-lit, front-facing, and shows your whole face clearly with no filters or heavy shadows. Use a single-person photo, since multiple faces in frame will also cause an error.
