Frequently Asked Questions

Most popular questions about our AI hairstyle generator

What kind of photo should I upload for the best hairstyle try-on?

Choose a clear, front-facing photo with good lighting and your hair pulled away from the face. Minimal accessories and a neutral background help the AI focus on your facial features and hairline for a realistic preview.

How do I use presets for a virtual hairstyle try-on?

Use the hairstyle dropdown to browse curated styles. Select one to populate the prompt or enter your own description. Each preset triggers the AI to render that look while keeping your face and lighting intact.

Do I need to pay or create an account to generate hairstyles?

Nope. The Canva AI Hairstyle Generator is completely free—no signup, no downloads, no watermarks. Upload your photo, try as many looks as you want, and download the mockups.

How long does it take to render a new hairstyle?

Most results appear within a minute. We optimize the AI pipeline so you can iterate through styles quickly, even during peak times the wait is only slightly longer.

Can I download or share my hairstyle previews?

Yes. After the AI finishes, download the high-resolution mockup or share it directly. Use it to show your stylist, try different colors, or post on social media.
