Fifteen prompts written for Gemini's image editing, which runs on Google's Nano Banana model. Each Gemini hairstyle prompt names the cut, the length and the texture, then tells the model what to leave alone, because that missing instruction is why most hair edits fail.
Paste one of these with a clear selfie. To go shorter or longer with any Gemini hairstyle prompt, swap the length landmark: chin, collarbone or shoulders.
French bob with wispy bangs
Using my uploaded photo, change only my hairstyle to a chin-length French bob with soft, wispy bangs that just touch my eyebrows. Keep my natural hair color. Do not change my face, skin, expression, makeup, clothes, background or lighting. Make it photorealistic, with individual strands and a natural hairline.
Shoulder-length wolf cut
Edit this photo of me: give me a shoulder-length wolf cut with choppy, shaggy layers, extra volume at the crown, curtain bangs and wispy, thinned-out ends. Keep my hair color and my hair's natural texture. Keep my face and everything else in the photo exactly as it is. It should look like a real salon photo, not a wig.
Long butterfly layers
Change my hair to a long butterfly cut: lots of face-framing layers starting at the cheekbones, long curtain bangs and a bouncy blowout, ending well below the shoulders. Keep my current hair color. Keep my face completely identical, with the same pose, background and lighting. Photorealistic.
A good Gemini hairstyle prompt for male cuts gives the length on top in centimetres, says where the fade starts, and states what happens to the beard.
Textured crop with a low fade
Using this photo of me, change only my hair to a textured crop: a short, messy top about 4 cm long with a choppy fringe, and a low skin fade on the sides and back. Keep my face, beard, skin tone, expression, clothes and background exactly the same. Realistic barbershop result with a clean, natural hairline.
Classic side part
Give me a classic side-part haircut: short tapered sides and about 6 cm on top, combed to one side with a clean part line and a matte finish. Keep my facial hair as it is. Do not change my face, age, skin or expression, or anything else in the photo. Photorealistic.
Korean two-block cut
Change my hairstyle to a Korean two-block cut: a longer, soft top that falls naturally over the forehead, over short undercut sides and back. Keep my natural hair color. Keep my face, eyebrows and the rest of the photo identical. Natural texture, no helmet look.
Bangs are the easiest edit to get wrong. These prompts add a fringe without restyling the rest of your hair.
Curtain bangs on your current hair
Add soft curtain bangs to my current hairstyle: parted in the middle, cheekbone length, sweeping away from my eyes and blending into the rest of my hair. Do not shorten or restyle the rest of my hair. Keep my face and the photo exactly the same.
Full blunt bangs
Add full, blunt bangs cut straight across, sitting just above my eyebrows. Keep the length and color of the rest of my hair unchanged. Do not alter my eyebrows, eyes or any facial feature. The bangs should match my own hair texture and look photorealistic.
Color-only prompts lock the cut in place, so you judge the new shade on its own.
Icy platinum blonde
Recolor only my hair to icy platinum blonde, with a slightly darker root at the part. Keep my haircut, length and styling exactly the same. Keep my skin tone, eyebrows, face and background unchanged. It should look like natural salon color, not a wig.
Rich copper red
Change my hair color to a rich copper red, with subtle lighter strands where the light hits. Keep the cut, length and texture identical. Do not tint my skin, eyebrows, clothes or the background. Photorealistic.
Let Gemini read your face shape first, or tell it yours. Treat its pick as a suggestion, then compare cuts side by side in the AI haircut simulator.
Read my face shape, then pick a cut
Look at the face in my photo and identify my face shape (oval, round, square, heart, diamond or long). Suggest the three haircuts that would flatter it most, with a one-line reason for each. Then edit my photo with the first suggestion, changing only my hair and keeping my face exactly the same.
Round face: add height and length
I have a round face. Give me a cut that adds height and length: a layered lob just past the chin, with a deep side part, soft volume at the crown and no blunt bangs. Change only my hair; keep my face shape, features and the rest of the photo identical.
Men, square jaw: balance the angles
I'm a man with a square jawline. Give me a haircut that balances it: textured volume on top, slightly longer at the front, with a mid taper on the sides, not a buzz cut. Change only the hair on my head; keep my beard, face and the rest of the photo unchanged.
Add one of these to the end of any Gemini hairstyle prompt. They are the quickest fix when the result stops looking like you.
Identity lock
Keep my face 100% identical: the same face shape, eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, skin texture, age and expression. Do not beautify, slim or smooth my face. Change only the hair.
Photo lock
Change nothing except the hair: keep the same pose, camera angle, crop, clothes, jewelry, background and lighting, and return the edited photo in the same aspect ratio as the original.

Five steps from selfie to new look. Every prompt here also works as a Nano Banana hairstyle prompt in other apps built on the same model.
Front-facing, sharp, in even light, with your hair down and your hairline visible, and only you in the frame. Gemini can only keep what it can see.
Open Gemini on the web or in the app, start a fresh chat and add your photo with the upload button before you type anything.
Copy a Gemini hairstyle prompt from the library and paste it under your photo, then add the identity lock line at the end if the prompt doesn't already protect your face.
If the length or the bangs are off, reply with one short fix, such as "same cut, but 5 cm shorter". Long rewrites tend to change your face as well.
Download the image you like. For a different cut, open a new Gemini chat with the original photo so earlier edits don't pile up.
Image models redraw the whole picture, not just the hair. When a Gemini hairstyle prompt fails, it usually comes down to one of these four problems.
The prompt only describes hair, so the model feels free to "improve" the rest: smoother skin, a slimmer jaw, different eyes.
Fix: Add the identity lock line, avoid words like "beautiful" or "perfect", and use a sharp, front-facing photo.
"Short" and "long" mean different things to different people, and to the model.
Fix: Name a landmark (chin, collarbone, shoulders) or give a number in centimetres, and say what should stay the same.
The new hair ignores your hairline, the light in the room or the real texture of your hair.
Fix: Ask for a natural hairline, a few flyaways and lighting that matches the photo, and say whether your hair is fine, thick, wavy or curly.
Every reply edits the previous result, so small changes stack up over several rounds.
Fix: Keep corrections short, re-attach the original photo, or start a new chat for each style.
Our tool writes the prompt for you. Every cut, bangs and color preset already carries a hair-only instruction, so you choose a style, upload a selfie and see the result on your own photo, powered by Google's Nano Banana image-editing model.

FAQ
Quick answers about writing, pasting and fixing a Gemini hairstyle prompt.
Four parts: the cut by name, the length by a landmark or a number, the texture or finish, and a line that says what must not change. The Gemini hairstyle prompts above follow that order, so you can swap one part and keep the rest.
Yes. Nano Banana is the Google image model behind Gemini's photo editing, so a Gemini hairstyle prompt carries over to other apps built on it. Results still vary from photo to photo, so run a prompt twice before you judge it.
The model regenerates the whole image, and without instructions it may smooth skin or reshape features. Add the identity lock line to your Gemini hairstyle prompt, use a sharp front-facing photo and fix one thing per reply. Our tool adds a hair-only instruction to every generation automatically.
Yes, the men's section has three Gemini hairstyle prompts: a textured crop with a low fade, a classic side part and a Korean two-block. For men, give the top length in centimetres, say how high the fade starts and state whether the beard stays.
It can estimate your face shape from a photo and suggest cuts, but treat that as a starting point, not a diagnosis. Use the face-shape prompts above, then compare two or three of the suggestions on your own photo before you decide.
No. Every Gemini hairstyle prompt here is free to copy and needs no sign-in. If you use our tool instead, you sign in to generate: each result uses credits, and a failed generation is refunded automatically.
Fill in this Gemini hairstyle prompt template:"Using my photo, change only my hair to [cut], [length landmark], [texture]. Keep my hair color. Do not change my face, skin, expression, clothes, background or lighting. Photorealistic." Swap the brackets for any style and keep the last two sentences, because they do most of the work.
It can, but the result is more reliable one change at a time. Get the cut right first, then reply with a color-only line such as "keep this haircut, change only the color to copper". When you ask for both at once, it is harder to tell which part went wrong.
Yes. Attach your selfie first and the reference photo second, then say which is which: "Give the person in the first photo the haircut from the second photo. Keep the first person's face, hair color and background exactly the same." Naming the photos makes it less likely that Gemini mixes up the faces.
Any Gemini hairstyle prompt here works if you protect the curls. Add a line such as "keep my natural curl pattern, volume and texture" to a cut prompt, or ask directly for a curly shag or a curly bob with defined ringlets. Without that line, image models often smooth curls into a straight blowout.
Pick any cut, bangs or color, upload one selfie and get a photo-real preview that keeps your face, clothes and background.
Pick the AI hairstyle try-on tool for the job: a new cut, a new color, a beard or a hairstyle that suits your face shape.
