Should I cut my hair short?

The big chop is one of the most nerve-racking haircuts, because years of length are gone in minutes. The short hair filter lets you see it first. It redraws only the hair, cutting it to the length you pick while following your head shape, hairline and the lighting of the original photo.

Everything else stays the same. Your eyes, expression, eyebrows, earrings, glasses and clothes are kept, so you see how short hair frames your face, neck and jawline, not a model in a salon picture.

Pixie cut, bob or long bob

Pixie cut is the shortest option: short at the back and sides with a little more length on top. It shows off the eyes, cheekbones and neck and is the boldest change.

Bob is a classic chin-length cut. It keeps some hair around the face, which makes it a softer step than a pixie, and it works with straight and wavy hair.

Long bob, often called a lob, sits between the chin and the shoulders. It is the safest choice if you want a fresh look without losing too much length. Try all three on the same photo to see how short you really want to go.

Short hair and face shape

As a general guide, pixie cuts often suit oval and heart-shaped faces and people with defined features, while a bob or long bob can balance a longer or rounder face. These are rules of thumb. Seeing the cut on your own face is more reliable than any chart, which is what the filter is for.

Tips for a realistic short hair preview

Use a clear photo of one person with the whole head in the frame and the top not cut off. A front or three-quarter view works best. Take off hats and headphones, since the tool keeps them, and pull long hair away from the face.

Remember that this is a preview. How a real short cut looks also depends on your hair density, texture and growth pattern, such as cowlicks or a strong wave. Show the result to your stylist so they know exactly what you mean.

How do I see myself with short hair?

Upload a clear photo with your whole head visible, choose Pixie cut, Bob or Long bob, and wait about 40 seconds. Then compare with the slider and download.

What is the difference between a bob and a long bob?

A bob is cut around the chin. A long bob, or lob, is longer and sits between the chin and the shoulders.

Will it change my hair color or face?

No. Only the length and cut change. Your natural hair color, face, eyebrows, facial hair, clothes and background stay the same.

How accurate is the result?

It is a realistic preview, not a guarantee. A real short cut also depends on your hair density, texture and growth pattern.

What photos are not allowed?
