What Would I Look Like with Curly Hair?
Use the same clear portrait to compare a few curl patterns. Start with the roots, then follow the curl through the lengths and ends. Check your original color, hairline and face before judging the overall shape. A photo preview explores an appearance; it cannot predict the result of a real perm.

How to try curly hair on your photo
See what you would look like with curly hair. Prepare a clear photo, compare curl patterns and check roots, length, volume and your original face.
Step 1. Upload your person photo
Use a clear portrait with the whole hair silhouette and hairline visible. Front or slight three-quarter views with even light are useful. Upload one JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB.
Step 2. Choose a curl direction
Select one of eight image cards, upload a reference or describe curls in Edit instructions. Templates start unselected, can be removed and are alternatives to an uploaded reference. At least one active style, reference or written instruction is needed.
Step 3. Generate and compare
Review the displayed credits, then Generate one image. Check roots, curl continuity, color, face and scene. Re-edit restores your inputs. Loading an example only fills the form and does not generate or spend credits.
Step 4. Compare and download
Compare roots, curl continuity, color, apparent length, volume and your face at full size. Keep the original for every attempt; adjust the curl request with Re-edit, then download a preview you want to keep.
Choose a curl pattern you can compare
Start with one photo and your original hair color. Change the curl direction before combining it with other edits.

What to check in a curly hair preview
Compare the full-size result with the same original photo. Review the roots and the whole hair outline before choosing a curl pattern.
CheckWhat to reviewNext attempt
Roots and continuity
Look for waves or curls near the part, crown and temples, continuing to the ends.
Ask for root-to-tip curls if the upper hair remains straight.
Original color
Compare the hair and root color under the original light. A reference supplies curl direction, not a new color.
Keep my original hair color; use only the reference curl pattern.
Length and volume
Tighter curls can look shorter and fuller. Check that the result still relates to the original haircut.
Request looser curls or less volume without adding length.
Face and surroundings
Compare face shape, expression, skin texture, clothing and background.
Return to the original photo and specify the details to keep.

Curly hair filter questions
What would I look like with curly hair?
Upload a clear portrait and compare curl patterns on the same original. Review the roots, outline and visible length together. The preview helps explore a look, but does not decide which style suits you or predict salon results.
Do I need to choose a curl template?
No. You can upload a curl reference or describe the pattern in Edit instructions. A person photo and at least one active template, reference or written instruction are required.
Are a template and uploaded reference used together?
Choose one reference source. The active image is supplied with your original and guides curl size, definition and relative volume. It does not supply the reference person’s identity, color or haircut length.
Will the roots change too?
Yes. The default instruction applies the chosen wave or curl from near the scalp through the crown, temples and ends. It preserves the hairline position and root color. Write an instruction if you want curls only in the lower lengths.
Will it change my hair color or face?
The edit is instructed to keep your original color, face and scene. Explicit color instructions can change the hair color; a differently colored reference alone does not request that change. Compare the result because generated details can drift.
Can I use short hair or a photo with several people?
Curl size is adapted to the available hair. For a group, identify one person in your instructions. Other people should stay unchanged. When no scalp hair is visible, the default request keeps the image unchanged instead of adding hair.
Is this a perm generator or an accurate salon prediction?
It can create a perm-style photo preview. Curls may look shorter or fuller, but the image does not measure your hair or predict how a real treatment will behave. Use it as a visual reference.
Is the curly hair filter free?
Generation requires a LumiYing account and uses the credits displayed before Generate. Selecting a template and loading an example do not spend credits. See pricing for current plans.
