Low Taper with Textured Crop
Preview low taper crop on your reference portrait while preserving your face, natural coloring and photo setting.
Prompt
Edit the uploaded reference portrait to preview a low taper around the sideburns and nape with a short textured crop on top and a restrained forward fringe; retain the original hair color and hairline. 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. Keep the fade low near the ears; do not turn it into a high skin fade or sharpen the hairline into an artificial stencil. 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.
How to use it
- Upload a clear portrait with the full hair silhouette visible and minimal obstruction.
- Apply this prompt to preview low taper crop; 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.
- Keep the fade low near the ears; do not turn it into a high skin fade or sharpen the hairline into an artificial stencil.
- If hair edges look pasted on, match the original light direction and add fine flyaways and soft contact shadows.
