Straight hair, rebuilt as waist-length box braids

A real run through the model this page uses. Drag the divider and look at the hairline: the parting grid reaches the scalp and each plait tapers at the end, while the face, top and background are untouched. Every output is AI-generated, so your result varies with your photo — treat this as a guide to what the tool does, not a fixed result you will get back exactly.

AI photo tool

What does an AI braids filter do?

It replaces the hair in one photo with a braided style — the parting grid, the plait pattern, the length and the ends — while leaving your face, skin tone, clothing and background exactly as they were.

Image tool

Braids are the hairstyle decision with the highest cost of being wrong. A full head of knotless braids is four to eight hours in a chair and a bill to match, and it is not something you undo on the walk home. So the question people actually ask before booking is not what braids look like in general — it is what this length, this thickness and this parting look like on their own face shape.

That is a question a photo of somebody else cannot answer, and it is the one this pass exists for.

The edit runs on the Nano Banana 2 model in the browser, with free credits on a new account. It rebuilds the hair rather than tinting it: a clean parting grid across the scalp, individual plaits of consistent thickness with visible three-strand structure, ends that taper or curl the way that style ends, and the whole mass falling with real weight behind the shoulders.

A front-facing half-body photo in even light, with your hairline visible and nothing covering your forehead, gives the pass the most to work with. Hats, heavy shadow across the parting and very low-resolution phone crops are what make an AI braids result look like a wig sitting on top of a photo.

Upload a clear front-facing photo, name the braid style and length, and the estimate updates before you run it.

Plaits with structure

Visible three-strand pattern, consistent thickness and tapered ends — not a repeating texture pasted over the old hairstyle.

Your face, untouched

Skin tone, features, expression, clothes and background come back exactly as photographed. The braids are the only edit.

Trying the whole hair question rather than one style? Compare defined curls in the curly hair filter and change the shade first in the AI hair color changer.

How to use

Try AI braids on your photo in three steps

From one clear photo to a decision you can take to the salon.

  1. Step 01

    Start with a clear hairline

    Front-facing, even light, forehead visible, no hat. The parting grid is the first thing to fall apart when the model cannot see where your hair starts.

  2. Step 02

    Name the style, size and length

    Knotless box braids, medium, waist-length. Fulani with beads. Cornrows straight back. The three words that matter most are the style, the thickness and where it ends on your body.

  3. Step 03

    Run it, then change one thing

    Change only the length, or only the thickness, and run again. Comparing two near-identical renders tells you more than four wildly different ones, and a failed run is never charged.

Who it's for

Who runs their photo through this

Mostly people about to spend a whole Saturday in a braiding chair.

01Deciding

Before a long appointment

Six hours and a deposit is a lot to commit on the strength of a screenshot of someone else. Seeing the length on your own face first is the cheapest part of the whole process.

02Consult

Showing the stylist

A rendered photo of you is a clearer brief than a saved post of a stranger, because it already answers the questions about your hairline, face shape and how long you want it.

03Planning

Protective-style planning

Choosing between knotless, box and cornrows for the next eight weeks is easier when the three options sit side by side on the same photograph of you.

04Events

Costume and event looks

Fulani braids with cuffs for a shoot, goddess locs for a themed night, or a wedding party that wants the same style rendered across everyone before anyone books.

Answers

Braids filter FAQ

Common questions about rendering braided hairstyles onto your own photo with Kavel.

Box braids, knotless, cornrows and feed-ins, fulani with beads and cuffs, goddess and boho braids, senegalese and passion twists, faux locs, and a single french or dutch plait. Name the style if you know it, or describe the pattern and where it ends if you do not — both get you there.

Yes. The pass rebuilds the hair rather than restyling what is there, so a buzz cut or a short crop can come back with waist-length braids. In real life that is what extensions are for, which is exactly the situation people want previewed before paying for the hair.

That is the detail worth checking in your result, and it depends most on the source photo. A visible forehead in even light gives a clean grid; a shadow across the front or a fringe covering the hairline gives the model nothing to anchor to and the parting drifts.

All of them. Gold cuffs on a few plaits, wooden beads at the ends, a honey or burgundy ombre through the bottom third, or two-tone braids parted down the middle. Say where the colour starts, since "ombre" alone leaves that to chance.

Use jumbo, large, medium, small or micro, and pair it with a length. Thickness changes the look more than most people expect — the same waist-length style reads bold at jumbo and delicate at micro, and it is the variable most worth running twice.

Yes. The instruction is explicit that the face, skin tone, expression, clothing and background stay unchanged, because a hair preview that quietly alters your features answers nobody's question. If something else shifts, re-run with a cleaner, better-lit source photo.

The estimate is on screen before you generate and moves with the resolution and format you choose. A failed run is never charged, and a new account starts with free balance — enough to see two lengths before deciding whether to keep going.

That is the most common use. Bring the render on your phone alongside the length and thickness words you used to make it; a braider can work from a picture of you far more directly than from a picture of a stranger with different hair.
