# AI Hairstyle Changer

> Kenerate's AI hairstyle changer lets you try a new haircut on your own photo: upload it, name the style — pixie cut, beach waves, bob with bangs, braids, curls, buzz cut, man bun — and add “keep my face the same”. In our tests Seedream 5.0 Pro (at 2K) kept the face, expression and background identical across nine hairstyles. Flux 2 Dev is on the free plan. A free account gets 25 credits.

## In depth

### How AI hairstyle try-on works
Instruction-based image editors change only what you describe and keep the rest when you tell them to. For a haircut, that means the model redraws the hair — length, texture, parting — while leaving your face, skin tone and background as they were.

### Choosing a style to try
A few things to consider before you book:
- Face shape: short cuts show more of the jawline; waves soften it.
- Hair texture: curls and waves depend on your natural hair.
- Upkeep: bangs and pixie cuts need regular trims.
- Take the preview to your stylist — they'll tell you what's achievable.

## FAQ
Q: How can I see myself with a different hairstyle?
A: Upload a front-facing photo, name the hairstyle, and ask the model to keep your face, expression and background the same. Seedream 5.0 Pro did this reliably in our tests.

Q: Is the AI hairstyle changer free?
A: A new account gets 25 free credits, which work on free-plan models such as Flux 2 Dev. Seedream 5.0 Pro needs a one-time credit pack; credits never expire.

Q: Does it work for men?
A: Yes — the buzz cut, undercut and man bun on this page are edits of the same male portrait.

Q: Will it change my face?
A: Not if you say so: add “keep my face, expression, clothing and background the same”. In our nine test edits the face didn't change.

Q: Can I use someone else's photo?
A: Only with their permission.
