AI Hair Color Changer: Try Hair Colors on Your Photo
Upload a portrait, describe the shade you want, and use Chat to Edit to preview a hair color change. Refine roots, highlights, and lighting, then optionally animate the approved image with Image to Video.
Hair Color vs. Hairstyle: Use the Right Workflow
Use this page when the haircut and length should stay stable while the shade changes. For bangs, curls, length, or a new cut, use the AI Hairstyle Changer instead. Separating the goals reduces prompt conflict and makes comparisons easier.
How to Change Hair Color in a Photo with AI
Step 1: Try a New Hair Color with Free Daily Credits
Preview a new hair shade before planning a salon look or updating a character portrait. Sign up for a free APOB account: Nano includes 80 daily credits. Open Edit image → Chat to edit to use the AI hair color changer directly on your existing photo; creating a Portrait Model is not a prerequisite.
Step 2: Upload a Photo with Roots and Ends Visible
Click Add in Source image and select a portrait that shows the roots, hairline, and ends. The hair-colour example uses long hair so the copper-red change can be compared across the same hairstyle. Avoid a crop that hides most of the hair you want to recolor.
Step 3: Ask for Rich Copper-Red Hair
For the copper-red hair shown in the video, enter this request in Edit description: “Change the hair to rich copper red. Keep the hairstyle and face unchanged.”
You can name a different target shade in the same prompt. Keep color changes separate from haircut changes, and ask to retain the expression, skin, clothing, lighting, and background.
Step 4: Check Color Coverage and Keep Your Favorite Look
Choose an available edit quality and check its current credit cost before selecting Generate. Keep the original aspect ratio if you want to compare the same portrait crop.
The example changes the hair to a warm copper-red shade while keeping the long hairstyle. Inspect the roots, hairline, strands around the ears, and edges against the background. Compare the face and skin tone with the source; color should not spill onto the skin or clothing.
Download your preferred hair-color preview; if color spills onto skin or clothing, try a more focused recoloring instruction.
What to Check Before You Export
Compare the result with the original at full size. Check the hairline, roots, brows, skin, earrings, clothing edges, and background. Hair edits can affect nearby details, especially in low light or when strands overlap the face.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about the workflow, expected results, limitations, and responsible use.
How do I change hair color with AI?
Upload a clear portrait, open Chat to Edit, describe the shade and finish you want, and state what should stay unchanged. Review the hairline, roots, skin, and clothing before exporting.
Can I preview highlights or balayage?
You can describe highlights, balayage, ombré, money pieces, or a solid color in the prompt. Results vary by image and are a visual preview, not a guarantee of an exact salon outcome.
Will the edit keep my face unchanged?
Keep the request focused on hair and use a clear front-facing photo. Generative edits can still alter nearby details, so compare the result with the original and regenerate when needed.
Can I animate the edited photo?
Yes. After approving the still image, you can use Image to Video. Check every frame for color drift, flicker, or changes around the hairline before publishing.
