Hairstyle Try-On Image Editing Prompts Long Butterfly Layers
Preview butterfly layers on your reference portrait while preserving your face, natural coloring and photo setting.
Prompt
Edit the uploaded reference portrait to preview long butterfly layers with short face-framing sections beginning around the cheekbones, longer layers falling below the shoulders and softly curved ends; preserve overall long length. Treat the reference person as the identity anchor: preserve facial structure, apparent age, skin tone, expression, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, ears, body proportions, clothing and accessories. Keep the original pose, camera angle, crop, background and lighting. Change only the hair and pixels necessarily revealed or occluded by its new silhouette. Match strand detail, shadows, highlight direction and photographic grain to the source. Preserve natural hair color, including any gray strands. Reconstruct any newly exposed background or skin conservatively from nearby visible evidence. Create connected, graduated lengths rather than disconnected short locks pasted over a solid long-hair slab. If the requested style needs additional length or texture change, render it as a visual hairstyle simulation without altering the face or scalp anatomy. Do not add makeup, beauty smoothing, jewelry, text, watermarks, comparison panels or extra people. Return one realistic edited portrait.

Upload your photo to the AI tool first, then use this prompt.
The prompt asks the model to preserve identity and key visual features.
How to use it
- Upload a clear portrait with the full hair silhouette visible and minimal obstruction.
- Apply this prompt to preview butterfly layers; use a three-quarter view when the style needs its side or back visible.
- Check that your face and original setting remain consistent before using the result as a styling reference.
Common failure fixes
- If facial identity drifts, reapply the edit to the original portrait and restrict changes to the hair region.
- Create connected, graduated lengths rather than disconnected short locks pasted over a solid long-hair slab.
- If hair edges look pasted on, match the original light direction and add fine flyaways and soft contact shadows.
