WantHair uses AI to put the hairstyle you want on your own face, so you can see whether it suits you. โ–  How it works 1. Pick a hairstyle you'd like to try. Use our style catalog or a photo from your library. 2. Take a selfie or choose one from your photos. A front photo is all you need; a side photo is optional. 3. AI applies the hairstyle to your face. 4. Compare before and after with a slider, and save the ones you love to your photo album. โ–  Features โ€ข AI hairstyle try-on: women's and men's style catalog, or any hairstyle photo from your library โ€ข Live capture guide: checks face position, angle, lighting, and whether your brows or ears are covered โ€ข Before & after: compare the original and the AI result with a slider โ€ข Filters: browse by bangs, length, and texture โ€” straight, wavy, curly, and coily โ€ข Liked styles: save styles you like and come back to them anytime โ€ข Saved results: your try-ons are kept on your device for 7 days; save the keepers to your album โ€ข Photo reuse: take your selfie once and try as many styles as you like โ–  FAQ Q. Do I need an account? A. No. Install and start right away. Q. Is it free? A. Yes. Each try-on uses scissors, and you get some free when you start. You can get more anytime with an in-app purchase. Q. Are there men's hairstyles? A. Yes. We have both women's and men's styles, from short cuts and fades to perms, waves, and long hair. โ–  Your privacy โ€ข No sign-up needed. โ€ข Before your first try-on, we ask for your consent. Your photo is then sent to the OpenAI API for AI processing and may be processed outside your country. โ€ข Original photos and results are kept for 14 days only if you separately agree to it for troubleshooting. Try-ons work the same without it, and you can turn it off anytime in Profile โ†’ Privacy & AI. โ€ข Other results stay on your device, and you can delete them anytime. โ€ข You can also turn off usage analytics in Profile โ†’ Privacy & AI. See the hairstyle you want on your own face โ€” try it with WantHair.

Keep your day as nine moments. When something happens, take a photo. It becomes a circle, and you decide how big that moment was. Up to nine a day. The circles drift across the screen like balloons. Tap Timeline and your nine circles line up in the order you took them, forming the number 9. For a moment you'd rather not photograph, leave it as a soft color instead. Write the rest in words: a title and a few lines, keywords, your mood and the weather. SONG OF THE DAY Save one song a day. Type a title, pick it, and it stays with its cover. The app doesn't play it. Tap it to open your own music app. MONTH Look back on a month through a calendar, songs and photos. Every moment of the month floats on one screen, or open them day by day. Days you didn't write stay empty. That's rest, not failure. CIRCLE Invite up to nine close people to share your days. They see only yesterday, one page, with its photos. There is no feed to scroll. To read others, you write too. Only people who wrote yesterday or today can read. No spectators. After reading, you can send one word, once, only to them. No likes, no comments. SHARE Turn a finished day into an Instagram Story: floating circles, the number 9, your diary page, or a 5-second video of your moments drifting. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, iPAD AND MAC A widget shows today's circles. Tap it to take the next photo. On iPad and Mac, nine dots opens wide, with everything side by side. YOU DECIDE WHEN YOUR DAY ENDS Midnight is society's line. Some days end at 2 a.m. Set your own. WHAT THIS APP DOESN'T DO No streaks. No completion rates. No monthly reports analyzing you. No reminders nagging you to write. No likes, no followers. Your writing leaves your phone encrypted. Even we can't read it. Original photos stay on your phone. nine dots is made by Nonsense of Rhythm, observing people who live by their own rhythm on top of society's.
