AI virtual try-on prompts

Try it on a photo before you commit. These prompts show you with a new haircut or hair colour, a beard or moustache style, a different outfit or clothing colour, or a tattoo in a new place. There is also a prompt to preview a new colour on your car.

Each prompt keeps your face, skin and expression the same and changes only the one thing you are trying. Ask for 3 versions side by side to compare, then show the one you like to your hairdresser, tailor or tattoo artist.

How to use it

Three steps, about a minute

1
Take a front-facing photo with your hair pulled back from your face and even light.
2
Upload it to Gemini or ChatGPT, paste the prompt and name 3 styles or colours to compare.
3
Pick the one you like and show it to your hairdresser, tailor or artist.

Make it yours

Be specific: "shoulder-length layered cut with curtain bangs" beats "a nice short haircut".
Colour: name the shade and finish: "soft copper, glossy", "ash brown, matte".
Outfits: upload the outfit photo as a second image for a closer match.
Tattoos: try 2 or 3 sizes in the same place before you decide.

If it goes wrong

It looks like a wig: Ask to "match my natural hairline, parting and lighting; realistic hair texture".
My face changed: Reply "keep my face, skin, expression and clothing exactly the same".
The outfit does not fit my body: Add "fit the outfit to my real body shape and pose".
Colours bleed onto skin: Say "change only the hair (or clothing) colour; no overspill".
