How to change hair color in a photo with AI

Open AI Playground with a starting prompt, then add your portrait and make the color your own.

How to

Add your portrait

Select 'Add Source Images' in AI Playground and upload a clear portrait with your hair visible. Even lighting gives you a better starting point for comparing shades.

Try natural shades or a bold new hair color

Use your photo to explore a subtle change or a completely different shade. Describe chocolate brown, honey blonde, copper red, or lavender purple in your prompt. Add details such as 'dark roots' or 'soft highlights' to guide the look, then compare the preview with your original portrait.

  • Describe the color you want

Give your hair color prompt a clear direction

  • Start with your own photo

    Use a portrait where your hair is easy to see. Keep the same source photo when comparing color ideas.

  • Name the shade you want

    A specific shade, such as copper red or ash blonde, gives your prompt a clearer direction than 'change my hair.'

  • Review the whole portrait

    Check the hairline, face, and background before saving. Refine your prompt if the preview changes more than you intended.

Preview a hair color before you dye

Test a color idea on your photo before committing to a salon appointment. Compare a few directions, show a favorite to your stylist, or ask friends which look they prefer. An AI preview is a creative reference, not a prediction of how a dye will look on your real hair.

Create a new look for your next portrait

Explore hair color ideas for a profile photo, cosplay portrait, or social post. Once you have a look you like, continue with photo editing. Try a different photo background to complement your new shade. For broader changes to selected parts of a photo, explore AI Replace.
