Quick answer
What is an AI hair color changer?
An AI hair color changer recolours the hair in your own photo while keeping the haircut, face and background. Name the shade — platinum blonde, pastel pink, copper red or an ombre — and add “same haircut”. Kenerate AI uses Seedream 5.0 Pro, which handled six colours in our tests. It suits anyone previewing a new colour before booking a colourist.

Tips
Get a realistic colour preview
What worked in our tests.
Say “same haircut” so only the colour changes.
Be specific: “ash blonde”, “rose gold”, “copper red”, not just “blonde”.
For ombre or balayage, say where it starts: “dark roots fading to teal”.
Use a photo in natural light — colour previews look truest there.
Try the same colour on a few photos before you dye.
Want a new cut too? Use the hairstyle changer.

FAQ
AI Hair Color Changer questions
How can I see what I'd look like with a different hair colour?
Upload a clear photo, name the colour and add “same haircut, keep my face and background the same”. Seedream 5.0 Pro did this reliably across six colours in our tests, from pastel pink to jet black. Be specific — “ash blonde” or “copper red” rather than “blonde” — and use a photo in natural light, where previews look truest.
Link to this answerIs the AI hair color changer free?
Yes, to start. A new Kenerate account gets free starter credits on sign-up, which work on free-plan models such as Flux 2 Dev. Seedream 5.0 Pro, which gave the best results in our tests, needs a one-time credit pack rather than a subscription, and credits you buy never expire. It runs online in your browser, and previews download with no watermark.
Link to this answerCan it do ombre or balayage?
Yes. Describe the gradient and where it starts — “dark roots fading to blue and teal”, as in the ombre example on this page. Seedream 5.0 Pro kept the haircut and face the same in that edit. Add “same haircut” so only the colour changes, and show the preview to your colourist as a reference before you dye.
Link to this answerWill the haircut change?
No, not if you say “same haircut” — none of our six Seedream 5.0 Pro colour edits changed the cut. Instruction-based editors repaint only what you name, so the hair's shape and texture stay while the colour changes, including highlights and shine. If you want a new cut as well, use the AI hairstyle changer.
Link to this answerCan I preview going blonde before I bleach?
Yes. The platinum blonde example on this page is a Seedream 5.0 Pro edit of a brown-haired portrait, with the same haircut and face. Name the exact shade — “ash blonde”, “honey blonde”, “platinum” — and add “same haircut”. A preview can't show what bleaching does to your hair, so take it to your colourist: big jumps from dark brown to platinum usually need bleaching, and they'll tell you what's realistic.
Link to this answerCan I use someone else's photo?
Only with their permission. Recolouring another person's hair still edits their likeness, so ask first and share the result only with their consent. The easiest option is your own clear photo in natural light, which also gives the truest colour preview. Prompts involving minors are always blocked.

AI Hair Color Changer, explained
What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.
How AI hair recolouring works
Instruction-based editors repaint only what you name. Asking for a new colour and “same haircut” keeps the hair's shape and texture while changing its colour, including highlights and shine.
This page changes colour only. To try a different length, cut or updo on the same photo, use the AI hairstyle changer instead — it keeps your face and changes the hair's shape.
Choosing a shade: blonde, red, pastel or balayage
Before you dye:
- Warm shades (copper, honey) suit warm skin undertones; cool shades (ash, platinum, silver) suit cool ones.
- Big jumps from dark to platinum usually need bleaching — ask your colourist.
- Pastels fade fast; plan for touch-ups.
- Show the preview to your colourist as a reference.
