How to change hair color with AI

How to change your hair color in a photo in 4 steps

From your selfie to the new shade in a few clicks.

  1. Upload your photo

    Add a clear selfie facing the camera, in daylight, with your hair in view. No photo at hand? Start with one of the sample photos.

  2. Pick a hair color

    Choose one of 24 shades by family — blonde, brown, red, black and silver, or fashion colors — or pick any custom color from the palette.

  3. Choose the technique

    Dye it all over, or keep your own color at the roots with a soft balayage or an ombré that fades into the new shade.

Photo tips

How to take the photo for the most realistic result

Face a window in daylight: harsh shadows, backlight and dim rooms hide the detail the AI needs to color each strand. Look straight at the camera and keep the framing close, from the top of your head to your chest.

Let your hair fall where it can be seen — over your shoulders if it is long — and skip hats, hoods and strong filters. It works with straight, wavy, curly and coily hair, short or long, and on men too. If your photo is dark or blurry, fix it first with the photo enhancer.

Skin tone guide

Which hair color suits your skin tone

Look at the veins on your wrist in daylight. Greenish veins usually mean warm undertones: honey and strawberry blonde, copper, auburn and chestnut tend to flatter. Bluish or purple veins point to cool undertones: ash blonde, platinum, ash brown, burgundy and blue black. If you cannot tell, you are probably neutral, and most shades work, from chocolate brown to bronde.

These rules are only a starting point. The quickest way to know is to try three or four colors on your own selfie and compare them with the slider.

Honey and copper for warm undertones, ash blonde and burgundy for cool, chocolate and bronde for neutral

Balayage and ombré

Balayage or ombré, with any color

Not ready to dye it all? Choose Balayage to keep your own color at the roots and add soft, painted pieces of the new shade toward the ends, or Ombré for a gradual fade from your color on top into the new one. Both work with any of the 24 shades or a custom color.

Want a new cut as well? Try a new hairstyle on your selfie and then the color, or finish the look with the AI makeup generator.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the AI Hair Color Changer

Still have a question? Visit the help center →

Can AI change my hair color in a photo?
Yes. Upload a selfie, pick one of 24 shades or any custom color, and the AI recolors only your hair, keeping your face, haircut and background as they were. It usually takes under 20 seconds.
Is the AI Hair Color Changer free?
Yes, you can try it for free with the Auto model every day, without creating an account. Choose a plan when you want more try-ons.
Will it work on curly or very dark hair?
Yes. The AI keeps your curl pattern, texture and volume and only changes the color. Going from black or dark brown to platinum or pastel works too; in real life that needs bleaching, so treat the preview as the goal to show your colorist.
Can I see myself with gray or silver hair?
Yes. Try Silver for a full gray look, or Salt and pepper for a natural mix of dark and gray strands. It also works the other way: upload a photo with grays and pick a brown or a blonde to preview the coverage.
What is the difference between balayage and ombré?
Balayage keeps your own color at the roots and adds soft, painted pieces of the new shade through the lengths, brightest at the ends. Ombré keeps your color on top and fades evenly into the new shade toward the ends. Pick either one under the colors.
Can I try a color that is not on the list?
Yes. Open Custom, pick any color from the palette and, if you like, add a note such as "darker at the roots". The AI applies that color to your hair.
Which hair color suits my skin tone?
As a rule, warm undertones suit honey, copper, auburn and chestnut; cool undertones suit ash blonde, platinum, burgundy and blue black; and neutral undertones suit most shades. Try a few on your selfie and compare them.
Can I change my haircut too?
This tool changes the color only and keeps your cut. To try a new haircut, use the AI Hairstyle Changer with the same photo, then come back for the color.
