Does Hair Volume generate new hair or change my hairstyle?

No. It makes a small geometric expansion from the hair pixels already in the photo. That keeps source texture and identity stable, but it cannot create bangs, curls, length, or a new haircut.

Why can Hair Volume refuse a photo?

The adjustment needs both verified uncovered hair and verified background beside it. It stops when hair is covered, too small, cropped, or touches skin, clothing, accessories, or a busy region that cannot be classified safely.

About the Hair Volume effect

Hair Volume first isolates uncovered hair with the same six-class, face-anchored portrait mask used by Hair Color. It then expands the existing hair texture by a small, intensity-controlled amount—up to 14% horizontally and 8% vertically—and permits new pixels only where the model independently identifies surrounding background. Face skin, body skin, clothing, and accessories are forbidden destinations. The tool never generates a new face or hairstyle, returns a lossless PNG, and copies every pixel outside the expanded hair silhouette unchanged.

How it works

Processing

Hair Volume uses an AI action. Any separate allowance is shown before this effect starts processing.

Best for

sharp portraits with visible, uncovered hair and a little clean background around the top and sides of the hairstyle.

Less suited to: hats, turbans, cropped hair, crowded backgrounds, hair pressed against clothing or another person, tiny faces, motion blur, and requests for a completely different hairstyle.

Ways to use Hair Volume

Add gentle fullness around short, medium, or long hair while retaining its original color and texture.
Increase the visible silhouette without changing facial identity, expression, skin, clothing, or the rest of the scene.
Apply a conservative source-based volume adjustment independently to each safely isolated hairstyle.
