Upload a photo to try different hair colors
This version of a hair color changer is a digital tool that lets you quickly see how different hair colors would look on your own hair. It is the first step of a full AI-powered hair styling ecosystem, connecting hair color try-ons, personalized recommendations, and other tools to help you explore your best looks.
What does this exact tool show? It scans your photo, detects your hair, and applies a color overlay to it. Unlike social media filters that apply a flat, uniform color, this hair color simulator tailors the shade to your unique hair type. We’ve tested all shades across a wide range of skin tones and hair textures to ensure the results are more accurate for users with different appearances.
Why does this matter, and why is it better than just imagining or scrolling through Pinterest? First, hair color regret is real; secondly, a shade that looks great on a swatch or on someone else might not turn out as expected on your own hair. We all know how high the cost of a mistake in hair coloring can be. With an AI hair color tool, you can get a realistic preview of how a new shade would look on your actual hair — without guesswork and before any dye touches your strands.
No more relying on imagination or external inspiration. Our hair color try-on puts that preview in your hands. Now you can see exactly what you’re getting before making a decision.
Are there any limitations, you may ask? While this tool is designed to give a close approximation, it’s important to remember that it is still a simulation, and the final result may vary due to factors such as lighting, your base color shade, and the application process. It’s always a good idea to consult a professional hair specialist before making any changes to your hair.
The tool analyzes your current hair color, lighting, and color depth, and applies a color overlay.
You may have come here to try a shade you like quickly. You’re in the right place! The tool above is free and designed exactly for that purpose. However, if you want to look at more options, our personalized virtual hair try-on ecosystem allows you to explore the full picture.
The Virtual Styler shows full hairstyles paired with color. It has a collection of hundreds of haircuts that can be viewed in plenty of additional shades. The hairstyle try-on also includes a 360-degree video preview that shows color and shape in motion. You have free try-ons, and no account is required.
