With Google Gemini hairstyle prompts, you can, as the name implies, virtually try on hairstyles. We searched the internet far and wide, wrote our own original prompts, and tested them below. They cover popular women's hairstyles, men's haircuts, colors, braids, coils, and perms.
You can copy any prompt into Gemini. You can also paste it into the Overchat Gemini Hairstyle generator and run it on your own photo.
We generated every hairstyle image with Gemini (Nano Banana 2) through Overchat AI. Every prompt below assumes that you've attached a selfie and are using Gemini in image-to-image mode, since the goal is to try on hairstyles on your photograph.
These prompts generate the 3×3 grids you might have seen all over your Instagram feed.
This is a great prompt to try on popular and wearable hairstyles: the bob, pixie, curls, bun, and long layers.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Create a clean 3×3 hairstyle comparison using the uploaded portrait. Show the same person with nine different everyday hairstyles, one per panel: 1) sleek chin-length bob, 2) soft curtain bangs with long layers, 3) high ponytail, 4) loose beach waves, 5) textured pixie cut, 6) messy bun, 7) shoulder-length lob, 8) defined natural curls, and 9) long butterfly layers. Keep the same pose, expression, clothing, camera angle, lighting, and background in every panel. Use realistic hairlines, believable volume, and natural strand detail. Add a small, correctly spelled hairstyle label below each panel.
Result:
This is the same concept as the prompt above, but for men. Hairstyles featured here include the French crop, low taper, curtains, slick back, and mullet.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Turn the uploaded portrait into a consistent 3×3 men's haircut comparison. Show the same person with these nine styles: 1) buzz cut, 2) French crop, 3) low taper fade with textured top, 4) middle-part curtains, 5) curly taper fade, 6) classic slick back, 7) modern mullet, 8) short wolf cut, and 9) textured quiff. Keep the face, facial hair, expression, outfit, crop, lighting, and background consistent across all panels. Make each haircut realistic and clearly different. Add a short hairstyle label below each panel.
Result:
Ever wondered what hair length suits your face best? This prompt lets you visualize yourself with nine different hair lengths, from almost shaved to waist-length.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Create a 3×3 hairstyle length study from the uploaded portrait. Keep the same person and progress from shortest to longest hair from left to right, top to bottom: 1) shaved buzz cut, 2) cropped pixie, 3) ear-length bixie, 4) chin-length bob, 5) shoulder-length lob, 6) collarbone-length layers, 7) long layers at chest level, 8) waist-length straight hair, and 9) waist-length soft waves. Keep the original hair color and use the same pose, clothing, expression, lighting, and background in every panel. Add a simple length label under each image.
Result:
This 3×3 grid is useful for figuring out which hair color suits you best. You can run these grids or any of the prompts below in the Overchat image generator. Upload a portrait, paste the prompt, and choose a square frame for comparison boards.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Create a 3×3 hair color comparison from the uploaded portrait. Keep the haircut and styling identical in every panel and change only the hair color: 1) natural black, 2) espresso brown, 3) warm chocolate brown, 4) copper auburn, 5) honey blonde, 6) icy platinum blonde, 7) caramel balayage, 8) cherry cola red, and 9) pastel pink. Match the roots, eyebrows, lighting, and shadows naturally. Keep the same face, pose, outfit, crop, and background. Add a small color label below each panel.
Result:
Bangs are popular right now, as everyone from Rihanna to Sabrina Carpenter seems to have worn the style on the red carpet at one point or another. This prompt lets you preview nine different types of bangs side by side in a single image.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Use the uploaded portrait to make a 3×3 bangs and fringe comparison. Keep the person's current hair length and color, changing only the front section in each panel: 1) curtain bangs, 2) wispy bangs, 3) blunt eyebrow-length bangs, 4) side-swept fringe, 5) micro bangs, 6) bottleneck bangs, 7) curly fringe, 8) long face-framing fringe, and 9) no bangs with a clean center part. Keep all nine portraits consistent in pose, lighting, outfit, and background. Make every fringe sit naturally at the hairline and label each style.
Result:
If you want AI to become your personal stylist and show its recommendations visually instead of describing hairstyles in chat, these prompts let you do that.
This prompt combines the “best haircut for my face shape” AI query with a visual try-on. The recommendations range from long layers to a tapered pixie and include short explanations.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Analyze the face shape, proportions, visible hair texture, and overall style in the uploaded portrait. Create a polished square salon consultation moodboard with the original portrait in the center and six realistic hairstyle recommendations arranged around it. Choose genuinely different cuts or styles that would suit this person, showing a mix of safe, modern, and bold options. Under each option, add the hairstyle name and one short reason it works, such as “softens the jawline” or “adds height and balance.” Use a clean editorial layout, neutral background, consistent lighting, and realistic hair texture.
Result:
This prompt lets you try a hairstyle you liked from another picture on your own photo. It keeps your face unchanged, giving you a realistic preview.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Use image 1 as the person and image 2 only as the hairstyle reference. Apply the cut, length, fringe, parting, texture, volume, and styling direction from image 2 to the person in image 1. Adapt the hairstyle naturally to the head shape and hairline of the person in image 1 rather than copying the reference model's face or pose. Keep image 1's expression, clothing, camera angle, lighting, and background. Produce one realistic finished portrait.

Below are prompts that allow you to virtually try on popular individual hairstyles.
The cheekbone-length pieces and open center make this recognizably different from a full fringe. The prompt is specific enough to control the shape without turning into a paragraph of photography instructions.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Add soft curtain bangs parted in the middle, with shorter face-framing pieces around the cheekbones that blend smoothly into the existing length. Keep the current hair color and the rest of the hairstyle unchanged. Make the bangs light, natural, and softly curved rather than thick or blunt.
Result:
The result captures the large curved layers and blowout finish well. Compared with the original straight hair, the extra lift around the cheekbones is easy to see.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to long butterfly layers with shorter face-framing sections, cascading layers through the lengths, and a full bouncy blowout. Keep the overall length long and preserve the current hair color. Give the finished style soft movement, lifted roots, and rounded ends.
Result:
Gemini produced a convincing chin-length bob, though the result is straighter and more center-parted than requested. It works as a haircut preview; it is less precise as a preview of the final salon styling.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to an Italian bob: a glossy chin-length cut with substantial blunt ends, a soft natural bend, and relaxed volume around the face. Use a subtle side part and keep the finish polished but not rigid. Preserve the person's current hair color.
Result:
This is one of the clearest single-cut results. The tapered sides, separated top, and side-swept fringe all appear without changing the simple portrait setup.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a modern textured pixie cut with neatly tapered sides and nape, airy volume on top, and a soft side-swept fringe. Keep enough separation between the strands to show natural texture. Preserve the current hair color and make the hairline and sideburns look realistic.
Result:
The word “soft” matters here. The result reads as a wearable shag-wolf hybrid rather than the dramatic disconnected cut often shown in trend photos.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a soft medium-length wolf cut with choppy crown layers, a wispy fringe, face-framing pieces, and longer feathered ends at the back. Keep the silhouette wearable rather than extreme, with airy volume at the top and natural movement through the lengths. Preserve the current hair color.
Result:
The parting, root tension, braid width, and shoulder length all follow the request. As with any major texture or protective-style change, the image is a visual concept rather than a promise that the style is practical for every starting hair type.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to neat medium-width box braids with clean square parting, realistic braided texture, and natural tension at the roots. Let the braids fall to just below the shoulders with a few braids resting in front. Keep the current hair color and make the density and weight of the braids believable.
Result:
And here are prompts to try on popular hairstyles for men.
The low transition around the temple stays subtle, while the top retains enough length to show texture. This is a useful Gemini haircut prompt to bring to a barber because it describes both the fade placement and the finish above it.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a clean low taper fade. Fade the hair closely around the temples, sideburns, and neckline while leaving noticeably longer textured hair on top. Keep the transition low and gradual, define the natural hairline, and style the top with a relaxed matte finish.
Result:
The forward fringe separates this result from the taper fade immediately. The model also kept the top choppy instead of turning it into a smooth bowl-shaped crop.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a textured French crop with short faded sides, a slightly longer choppy top, and a short fringe brushed forward across the forehead. Keep the shape compact and easy to wear, with natural separation and a matte finish.
Result:
This result follows the direction closely: a clear center part, lifted roots, and curved front sections. The extra length around the ears also makes the grow-out commitment visible.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to medium-length curtains with a clean center part, soft layers, and the front sections curving away from the face. Add natural volume at the roots and relaxed movement through the sides. Keep the finish touchable and slightly tousled rather than overly styled.
Result:
The model kept the sides restrained and made the back long enough to read as a mullet. It is bolder than the wolf cut in the grid but still looks like a plausible salon result.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a modern mullet with a short textured top, softly tapered sides, and clearly longer layered hair at the back. Keep the contrast stylish and wearable, not exaggerated. Add piecey texture and a natural matte finish.
Result:
The curls are strong and individually defined. The taper is less obvious from a front-facing photograph, which is a good reason to add a side-profile source photo when fade placement is the main decision.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a curly taper fade with tight, clearly defined curls on top and a smooth gradual taper around the temples and neckline. Keep visible natural curl texture and believable density, with a clean but not artificially sharp hairline.
Result:
The result is neat, structured, and glossy without looking wet. “Controlled volume” and “soft side direction” did more useful work here than the trend label “old money.”
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a classic old-money slick back with medium length on top, tidy scissor-cut sides, controlled volume, and a soft side direction. Comb the hair back neatly without flattening it against the head. Use a subtle natural sheen rather than a wet or greasy finish.
Result:
We'll finish this list with a few prompts that change hair color or hair texture.
The cool tone stays pale without becoming flat white. Root shadow and small variations between strands give a more believable preview than a single uniform fill color.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Recolor the hair to an even icy platinum blonde with a cool pearly tone, subtle tonal variation, and softly shadowed roots for realism. Keep the existing haircut, length, texture, and styling exactly as they are. Do not turn the hair pure white; retain natural depth and strand detail.
Result:
The darker root, warm lengths, and brighter front pieces are all visible. The gradient is restrained, which makes it look closer to a salon color than a digital filter.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Keep the existing haircut and add a dimensional copper balayage: deep auburn at the roots, warm copper through the mid-lengths, brighter ginger ends, and two soft face-framing money pieces. Blend the transitions naturally and keep realistic highlights, lowlights, and shine.
Result:
The model rendered dense curl clusters, flyaways, and a rounded silhouette with impressive detail. This remains a concept image: curl pattern, shrinkage, density, and the feasibility of the final shape depend on the person's actual hair.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to a rounded shape of defined afro coils with dense natural volume, springy individual curl clusters, and a softly shaped silhouette around the face. Keep the texture detailed from roots to ends, with realistic shrinkage, small flyaways, and natural light catching the coils.
Result:
This result overshot “airy” and produced fairly defined curls around the forehead. The overall shape still works, but asking for “larger, looser S-waves” would be the next refinement.
Gemini Hairstyle Prompt:
Change the hairstyle to an airy Korean-style perm with loose S-shaped curls, light volume at the crown, soft movement around the forehead, and tapered sides that do not look shaved. Keep the curls separated and touchable, with a natural salon finish rather than tight ringlets.
Result:
