Perm Filter: See Yourself With Curls Before You Commit

Upload one photo and the AI perm filter curls your hair right on the page — your own face, your own color, your own length, no chemicals and no three hours in the chair.

Why use the Overchat AI perm filter?

A perm is a commitment: a few hours in the salon, then three to six months of living with the result. The hard part is that you can't picture it on your own face until it's already done. Overchat AI runs your photo through Nano Banana 2, one of the most realistic image-to-image models, and gives you a perm you can actually judge — same length, same color, same face. Here's how:

📤

1. Upload your photo

Browse your files, drag and drop, or take a selfie on the spot. iPhone HEIC photos work too.

2. Wait 30 seconds

Press Try perm and the AI curls your hair into a full head of springy spirals — keeping your color, your length and your parting.

3. Download your photo

Flip between before and after, then download the result in HD without a watermark — or copy and share it in one click.

Features of the Overchat AI perm filter

Curls with real perm texture, not rubber hair

You know the AI look — plastic skin, hair like a wig, every curl bending the same way. Overchat AI renders a perm the way a salon leaves it: separated strands, curls that loosen toward the roots, shine along the S-bends, and the odd flyaway where real hair has one. Your own color and length carry through, so it still looks like your photo on a good hair day rather than a stock model's headshot.

Your face, glasses and beard stay exactly as they are

The filter regenerates the photo instead of pasting curls over the top, and everything that isn't hair is pinned in place: your features, skin tone, glasses, beard, makeup, earrings, clothes and the room behind you. Put the before and after side by side and the only thing that moved is the texture of your hair.

Straight or wavy, short or long, women or men

The perm is built out of the hair you already have, so it works the same on a straight bob, on hair down your back, and on a men's cut with tapered sides. Your length and color stay put — permed hair simply sits higher, so the curls spring up instead of the photo pretending you got a trim.

FAQ

What is an AI perm filter?

An AI perm filter is an online tool that shows you what a perm would look like on you. You upload a photo and an image model regenerates it with your hair curled — same face, same length, same color. Unlike the AR filters on Instagram or TikTok, it doesn't lay curls over a live video feed; it redraws the photograph, which takes longer but lands much closer to a real salon result.

How does the Overchat AI perm filter work?

Upload a photo from your files or camera roll, or take a selfie, then press Try perm. Nano Banana 2 — an image editing model built by Google DeepMind — regenerates only your hair as a perm and leaves your face, skin and background alone. It takes about 30 seconds, and the result appears on this page next to the original so you can flip between them. Overchat AI is an all-in-one AI platform with more than 150 image and video tools.

What would I look like with a perm?

That depends on your face shape, your hair length and how tightly the curl is wound — which is exactly why guessing is expensive. A perm lasts roughly three to six months and grows out rather than washing out, so the only honest way to answer is to look at it on your own photo. Upload a picture, press one button, and you get your own face inside the curls in about half a minute.

Are my images secure?

Yes — your photo is sent over an encrypted connection and deleted automatically once your perm preview has been generated.

Will my real perm look exactly like the preview?

Treat it as a close preview rather than a guarantee. The filter shows you the shape and the volume — how curls sit around your face, whether they work with your length — and that's the part almost nobody can picture. What it can't predict is your hair's own chemistry: previous coloring, porosity and damage all change how tightly a perm takes, and humidity changes how it behaves afterwards. Bring the preview to your stylist and ask what's realistic on your hair.

What image files can I upload?

You can upload HEIC, JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP and BMP files up to 20 MB. Pick a photo from your camera roll or file system, drop one onto the page, or take a new shot with your phone's front or back camera.

Is the perm filter free?

Yes — the Overchat AI perm filter is free to use right now, and you don't need an account to try it. Upload a photo, get your perm preview, and download it in HD with no watermark.
