How to try short hair on your photo
Choose a clear portrait
Use a front-facing or slight-angle photo with your whole head visible. Leave room around the crown and ears, and choose a picture where the hairline is easy to see. Tuck loose strands away from your eyes so the edit has a clear reference for your face.
Describe the short shape
This tool starts with the app’s textured Pixie Cut preset. Add instructions for the fringe, side length or volume you want. Keep the color unchanged for your first comparison. If you want a jaw-length bob instead, use the French Bob template in the hairstyle collection.
Give me a short textured pixie cut with softly tapered sides and a natural fringe. Keep my hair color, face, earrings, clothes and background unchanged.
Compare before making the cut
Review the result beside the original and check the hairline, ears and face. Download the version you like and show it with a real haircut reference at your appointment. A second angle can help you compare the outline without asking the first image to show every side.

A shorter cut changes more than the length
Removing length changes the space around your face. A pixie exposes more of the ears and neck, while a bob keeps a stronger line beside the jaw. Use your own portrait to decide which outline you want to explore, then discuss the practical cut with your stylist.
Compare a pixie with your current hair
Start by keeping your natural color and the same photo angle. This makes the change in silhouette easier to judge. Look at the height above your forehead and the space beside your cheeks, rather than comparing a polished generated portrait with an entirely different selfie.
Explore the bob alternative
The French Bob template keeps a jaw-length outline and adds a straight fringe. Open it from the hairstyle collection if a pixie feels too cropped. Save each result separately and compare both with your original, so you can describe which length and fringe you prefer.
Bring a clearer reference to your appointment
A preview gives you a way to point to the shape you mean. Tell your stylist which parts you like, such as softer sides or a longer fringe. Bring the source photo too, and ask how your existing texture and daily styling routine would affect the cut.
Make your haircut comparison useful
Show the whole hairline
Avoid hats, heavy shadows and a crop that removes the crown. Hair covering the cheek or neck also hides the area a short style would expose. A clear source gives you a better comparison of the haircut and the features it frames.
Change one detail at a time
Keep the first request focused on length. Then try a longer fringe or more texture using the original photo again. Changing color, makeup, lighting and haircut together makes it harder to tell whether the short shape itself is the part you like.
Check the details beyond the hairstyle
Look at your eyes, earrings, glasses and the background near the hair. These should still be familiar. If a version changes an important detail, return to your original and name what must stay rather than building another edit on a face that has already changed.
