"Short" covers a chin-length bob, a crop at the ear, and the clipper cut people book when they are finished negotiating. This page is the crop above the ears. It is not a shave and it is not a jaw-length bob. If the sides go sheer enough to show scalp, the edit missed, and the picture you actually wanted is the Buzz cut filter.
Still hair, off the neck
google/nano-banana-2.1/edit on fal is prompted for a crop that clears the neck and sits above both ears, longer than a buzz and without a new fringe. The vendor rate is $0.0336 (Google's 1K list), not yours. A neckline and a sideburn should still read as scissors, not as stubble dissolving into skin.
Salons split hairs the internet then glues back together. Chin length keeps a swing near the jaw. Ear length clears the lobe, shows the whole ear, and lets the cheek read stronger because nothing hangs beside it. This control asks for the ear-length crop. A jaw-brushing bob means the edit missed toward a longer cut. It is not a second style you can select. No slider runs from lob to pixie.
The neckline is what a front-camera selfie throws away. Stacked, blunt, or tapered: those choices live at the nape, and a frame that stops at the chin forces an invention. Invented napes often look drawn with a ruler. If the back of the cut is the part you are nervous about, get a side photo with the collar down. We ask for your neck and your clothes to remain. A hairline carved into a shirt you do not own is not a finding about the cut.
Sideburns need an ending you can point at. On a short cut they stop near the top of the ear, taper, or round off. The model prefers a generic point. If the face looks strangely long, check whether the sideburn was rubbed upward into the temple. That is a new hairline. We did not ask for one.
Weight beside the cheek
This is why a modest cut feels like a different person. Hair that used to reach the shoulder pulls the eye down. Cut to the cheek, the weight either stacks at the widest part of the face or vanishes and leaves the cheekbone by itself. Fine hair loses the stack. Next to a strong jaw it can look skimpy, ear fully on display. Thick hair holds a solid shape and can make a narrow face read wider than it does on a low-ponytail day.
The lines people search, what would I look like with short hair and see myself with short hair, both mean this cut. Bring a photo where the current length and density are visible. A bun or a claw clip hides the mass. The model then guesses whether a chin-length shape is even possible, and the guess is often a helmet of even thickness. Wear the hair down. If you must clip it, do that only in a second frame.
Waves get combed flat in a lot of these renders, because training pictures of "short hair" are often blown out smooth. Glassy hair, when yours kinks, is a wig texture. It is not evidence that a curly crop will lie down. Curls are not this control.
Hold the face still and change the outline
We ask for the face, the ears, the skin tone, the clothes, and the background to stay, with natural color so this is not a dye job. The request is not a guarantee of likeness. Check nose width and eye spacing against the original before you show anyone the hair. A slimmer jaw in the same file means the model redesigned you. The haircut in that picture cannot be used as evidence.
A collared shirt tells you whether the nape looks stark against cloth. A bare neck tells you the cut with nothing framing it. Upload the version you are actually unsure about. Wear your glasses if you wear them on the days you would wear the cut. Short hair plus frames is mostly a question of how much ear and brow are suddenly available.
Adults only, confirmed with "This is me and I am 18 or older." Empty files, files over 8 MB, short edges under 256 pixels, and a blank checkbox never call the model and never charge. A missing model key stops clean, unpaid.
Without an account, the first success is watermarked: 800 pixels on the long edge, EASYFACE on a diagonal, pinned to your IP and cookie. Tomorrow does not unlock another, and signup does not grant credits. The unmarked HD costs 1 credit when it works. Failures return the credit or spare the free file. How to use the short hair filter walks the buttons.
A fringe is not a separate choice inside this cut. To test bangs on purpose, run the Bangs filter on a photo that already has the length you mean to keep. The category list is Hairstyles. When other people are in the shot, Face blur stays in the browser and does not use this preview.
FAQ
Is short hair just a longer buzz?
No. Scalp stays covered. Ends sit around the ear or the chin. Clipper shadow means this run slipped toward a different cut. Use the buzz page if that was the intent.
How do I judge the neckline?
Get the collar out of the photo so the model is not inventing under fabric. A ruler-straight line is less believable than a slightly uneven one. The nape you care about has to be in the frame.
What should sideburns do?
End on purpose. A sideburn erased up to the temple is a hairline edit, which this request does not include.
Can I compare chin-length and ear-length?
Not as a pair from one control. Each successful image is a single short cut. Another run may land somewhere else. That is drift, not a fitting menu.
Will my cheek look wider?
The eye can stop at the jaw instead of traveling to the shoulders, and thick hair stacked there exaggerates it. Fine hair does less of that. If the bone itself changed width, ignore the hair. The face was rewritten. Last updated: 2026-10-08.
