# Blonde Hair Filter

> To see what you'd look like blonde, upload a clear photo of yourself to an AI image editor and name the exact shade — for example "honey blonde with soft golden highlights, same haircut; keep my face and skin tone the same". Kenerate's blonde hair filter opens the editor with that instruction filled in. Pick the shade by your undertone: cool skin suits ash, platinum and champagne; warm skin suits honey, golden and caramel; neutral skin can wear bronde or beige blonde. Swap in highlights or balayage to see a softer change.

## In depth

### Which blonde suits you? Shades by undertone
Look at the veins on your inner wrist in daylight: greenish means warm, blue or purple means cool, a mix means neutral. Then copy the prompt words into the filter.
- Platinum blonde (Cool): "icy platinum blonde, almost white, cool-toned, no yellow".
- Ash blonde (Cool): "light ash blonde, cool smoky tone, no brassiness".
- Champagne blonde (Cool): "soft champagne blonde, pale with a hint of beige".
- Honey blonde (Warm): "warm honey blonde with golden glints".
- Golden blonde (Warm): "rich golden blonde, sunny and warm".
- Caramel blonde (Warm): "caramel blonde, a deep warm golden-brown blonde".
- Sandy blonde (Warm): "natural sandy blonde, light brown-blonde".
- Light blonde (Neutral): "natural light blonde, neither ashy nor golden".
- Bronde (Neutral): "bronde, a soft blend of light brown and blonde".
- Beige blonde (Neutral): "soft beige blonde, natural and muted".

### Highlights filter: five ways to go lighter without going fully blonde
Keep your base colour and add blonde only where you want it. Pair any of these with a shade from the table above.
- Classic highlights: Defined, evenly spaced blonde strands through the hair. Prompt words: "fine evenly spaced blonde highlights through my hair, keep my natural base colour".
- Balayage: Painted on freehand where light would hit — soft, lighter towards the ends, roots stay natural. Prompt words: "soft blonde balayage, natural darker roots, lighter towards the ends, blended".
- Babylights: Very fine, subtle highlights for a sun-kissed look. Prompt words: "very fine subtle blonde babylights, sun-kissed, barely noticeable".
- Money piece: Two bright blonde sections framing the face. Prompt words: "bright blonde face-framing money piece at the front, the rest of my hair unchanged".
- Ombré: Dark roots fading to blonde ends. Prompt words: "ombré from my natural roots to blonde ends, smooth fade".

### How does a blonde hair filter work?
It's an instruction edit. Your photo and one sentence go to an image model's edit endpoint; the model recolours the strands to the shade you name and keeps their shine, shadows and texture, so the result moves like your own hair. Older filters laid a flat colour or a wig over your head, which is why they looked pasted on.

### How to write a blonde prompt
Four parts are enough:
- The shade: “ash blonde”, “honey blonde”, “platinum”.
- Where it goes: all over, “highlights from the root”, “balayage, lighter towards the ends”, “money piece at the front”.
- What stays: “same haircut and the same hair texture”, “natural darker roots”.
- What must not change: “keep my face, eyebrows, skin tone, clothing and background exactly the same”.

### Before you book the salon
A preview narrows the choice; your colourist decides what's possible. Bring two previews — your favourite shade and a safer one — and ask how many sessions it takes and how often it needs toning.

## FAQ
Q: What would I look like blonde?
A: Upload a clear photo of yourself to the blonde hair filter and press Create. The editor opens with a honey-blonde instruction filled in and changes only your hair colour, keeping your haircut, face and background. Swap in another shade — platinum, ash, caramel — to compare a cool and a warm blonde on the same photo.

Q: Which blonde suits my skin tone?
A: Go by undertone. Cool undertones (bluish wrist veins) suit ash, platinum and champagne blonde; warm undertones (greenish veins) suit honey, golden, caramel and sandy blonde; neutral undertones can wear light blonde, bronde or beige blonde. Colour guides don't all agree — some pair contrasting tones instead — so trying one cool and one warm shade on your own photo is the quickest check.

Q: Is there a highlights filter?
A: Yes — use the same filter and replace the shade with a highlight look from the table: “fine evenly spaced blonde highlights through my hair, keep my natural base colour”, a soft balayage, babylights, a face-framing money piece or an ombré. Because the instruction keeps your base colour, only the strands you describe go lighter.

Q: What's the difference between highlights and balayage?
A: Highlights give a more defined, evenly spaced result and need more frequent salon visits. Balayage is painted on freehand where light would naturally hit, so it's softer and grows out more seamlessly. In the filter, write “fine evenly spaced blonde highlights” or “soft balayage with natural darker roots”.

Q: Is the blonde hair filter free?
A: Yes, to start. A new Kenerate account gets free starter credits, and Qwen Image 3.0, the default model here, is on the free plan. Seedream 5.0 Pro, Nano Banana 2.1 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst use credits from a one-time pack with no subscription, and bought credits don't expire. Results download without a watermark.

Q: Can I go from dark brown to platinum like in the preview?
A: The preview shows the colour, not the process. Going from dark hair to platinum usually takes bleaching in stages, so take the image to a colourist, who can judge your hair's condition and tell you what's realistic and how many sessions it needs.

Q: Will the filter change my face or skin?
A: It shouldn't: the instruction says to keep your face, eyebrows, expression, skin tone and background exactly the same, and instruction-based editors change what you name. If a run lightens your skin or eyebrows, run it again or try Nano Banana 2.1, which is strong at keeping a face identical.

Q: Can I use someone else's photo?
A: Only your own photo, or one the person has agreed to. Changing someone's hair still edits their likeness, so share the result only with their consent. Never upload photos of anyone under 18; Kenerate's content rules apply to every edit.
