Mane shows you how a new hairstyle, hair color, beard or a whole new theme would look on you, before you commit. Take a selfie or pick a photo, choose a look, and AI shows you the result in seconds. Going platinum blonde? A copper bob? A full beard? Or you as an '80s snapshot or a boxed action figure? Try it on your own face. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a photo: snap a selfie or choose one from your gallery. 2. Create a style or use a theme: mix hairstyle, color, beard and more, or pick a ready-made theme. 3. Tap Confirm: one tap, one AI result. 4. Compare before and after, then save or share. CREATE YOUR STYLE โ€ข Hairstyles: 49 cuts and styles, from long, medium and short to braids and gothic looks. โ€ข Hair color: 19 shades from natural to vivid, or any custom color. โ€ข Beard and mustache: 13 beards and 7 mustaches, with density and thickness options. โ€ข Smile and piercing: 9 smile styles and 6 piercings. โ€ข Combine several changes in a single result. THEMES Turn one photo into a whole new moment: You in the '80s, Halloween, Anime You and Action Figure, boxed and collectible in a Mane pack. Every try gives a different result, and new themes arrive regularly. CREDITS New users get a free first try. After that, simple one-time credit packs: no subscription, no recurring charges. Credits never expire. PRIVACY FIRST Your photo is sent for AI processing only after you agree, and only to create the look you ask for. You can delete any result, or your whole account and data, at any time from the app. See our privacy policy for details. Try a whole new you, in one photo.
