The answers before you start

What does this tool do?

It creates a new portrait with your requested longer hairstyle. Use a clear length marker such as upper chest or waist, then describe straight lengths, waves or curls.

What photo should I use?

Choose one portrait with the full head and shoulders, plus space below the existing hair. A waist-up photo gives you more room to compare longer ends.

Which mode do I need?

Image to Image uses your portrait. Text to Image needs no photo and is useful for a hairstyle concept rather than a personal before-and-after comparison.

Can I try it free?

Free use depends on the credits or offer currently available to your account. Sign in, check your balance and read the generator’s current quote before submitting. Choosing a style or editing your prompt does not start a generation.

How much does an image cost?

Use the credit amount shown beside the generate action for your selected model and settings. Recheck it after changing the image size, model or other options. Your current plan and available balance determine whether you can submit the job.

When will the image be ready?

After submission, follow the job in History. Timing varies with the selected model, image settings and current workload. Wait for the task status to finish rather than assuming a fixed delivery time or submitting the same job again.

An AI Long Hair Filter adds a longer hairstyle to a portrait from your photo and a written brief. Use Image to Image to compare shoulder, chest or waist length, then refine the texture while keeping the rest of the portrait consistent. Check the live credit quote before submitting and follow the image in History.

Create a long hair comparison

Use this guide to see how a hairstyle silhouette works with the neckline, outfit and framing of a portrait. Leave room below the shoulders to judge the added length and its contact with clothing.

How to compare longer hair in four steps

Choose a length first, then change the texture. Keeping these decisions separate makes it easier to see whether you prefer more length, more volume or a different shape around the face.

Frame the full change

Select Image to Image and upload a portrait with room below the current hair. Keep the face sharp and both shoulders visible. Avoid a crop that leaves nowhere for the requested longer hair to appear.

Set a length landmark

Write “upper-chest length” or “waist length” rather than only “longer.” State whether the ends should be blunt, layered or softly tapered, while keeping the current color.

Review the current quote

Check the selected model, image shape and displayed credits. Submit one version at a time so you can compare the effect of the length request.

Compare, then refine

Open the finished image in History. Check the ends, face and shoulder overlaps. Keep the length that works and change only the texture or parting in the next prompt.

Leave room for the new hair

  1. Use a chest-up or waist-up portrait for chest or waist length. Include the full head.
  2. Choose a top that contrasts slightly with the hair so the new ends are easy to see.
  3. Keep necklaces, scarves and busy background details from obscuring the shoulder area.
  4. Use even lighting and keep the original photo for every comparison in the set.

One length, three different textures

Straight: inspect the ends

Request a clear chest-length line and a natural parting. Compare a blunt finish with soft layers while watching the outline over your shoulders.

Waves: describe the size

Use “large loose S waves” for a softer outline. Keep the requested length explicit because curves change how long the hair appears.

Curls: place the volume

Ask for a defined curl texture and say whether you want volume at the crown, around the cheeks or lower through the lengths. Compare it with a similar-length version.

Describe length, texture and what to retain

“Using this portrait, extend the dark brown hair to upper-chest length with a natural center part and straight, softly tapered ends. Keep the same face, skin tone, pose, clothing and background. Let the hair fall naturally over both shoulders.”

For the next version, keep the length clause and replace “straight” with “large loose waves.” To compare a longer option, change only the endpoint to waist length. This keeps the reason for each difference clear.

Inspect where the hair meets the portrait

  1. Check that both ends reach the requested area without an uneven accidental cutoff.
  2. Look for strands blending into the clothing, neck or background.
  3. Compare your face and ear outline with the original before judging the hairstyle.
  4. Save a straight and a textured option for a stylist discussion. Ask about your actual density, curl pattern and maintenance needs.

AI Long Hair Filter questions

Can I add longer hair to a short-hair portrait?

Use Image to Image and describe the desired endpoint and texture. A photo with visible shoulders and space below them gives you a clearer way to judge the new length.

Why does waist length look shorter with curls?

Curves and volume can change the visible outline. Specify where the ends should fall on the body and compare different textures using that same endpoint.

Can I keep the current hair color?

Include the current color in the prompt and ask to change only length or texture. Review the color and face alongside the original before choosing the result.

Should I upload a close selfie or a wider portrait?

A wider chest-up or waist-up portrait is more useful for longer hair because you can see the full ends and how the hair falls over the shoulders.

Can I explore long-hair ideas without a photo?

Text to Image creates a hairstyle concept from a description without reference media. Switch to Image to Image when you want to use a specific portrait.

How do I compare versions without losing track?

Keep the original photo and settings the same. Change one prompt detail, follow each job in History and save the length and texture wording for the versions you prefer.

Choose a length you can describe

Upload a well-framed portrait, select a shoulder, chest or waist endpoint and keep the first texture simple. Review the credits, generate and inspect the completed image in History.
