MAKE IT YOURS

Start with a clear brief.

One front-facing adult portrait

Use an evenly lit photo with the full head visible and hair clear of the face. Avoid hats, strong shadows or a hand covering the hairline.

JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 5 MB per photo. The studio will ask you to choose your photo after you continue.

Default output: 928 × 1152. You can change the image ratio in the studio.

Start with a haircut

Choosing a haircut replaces the editable brief below. It does not generate an image.

Your editable prompt

Preparing the prompt is free. Continuing does not generate or charge credits. Sign in, upload your photos and review the 6-credit cost before choosing Generate in the studio.

CHECK BEFORE SHARING

Look closely at the result.

This is an AI hairstyle illustration, not a prediction of how a haircut will look on your hair. Hair texture, volume and facial details can change. The options are editable briefs; compare each generated result with your original.

The chosen length and part are visible, with a natural hairline
Face, glasses and clothing remain recognizable
No stray hair patches, distorted ears or unintended colour changes

From photo to download.

Prepare. Edit the brief above and continue. Choose your reference photo in the image studio.
Generate. Check Nano Banana 2.1, the references, ratio and 6-credit cost. Submit once and wait for that request to finish.
Inspect and save. Compare the faces or object details, then download the PNG from the result. Successful jobs remain in your history.

If a request is still processing, recover that request instead of submitting it again. If it fails, read its status and credit outcome before retrying. A successful image you choose to regenerate is a new 6-credit generation.

A few useful details.

Can I keep my original hair colour?

The default brief asks the model to keep it. Check the result: colour preservation is not guaranteed. You can also specify a different colour in the prompt.

Will changing the hairstyle keep my face exactly the same?

No. The model redraws pixels and may change facial details. Use the preview to discuss a look, not as a guarantee of a salon result.
