What Hair Growth does
Your subject's short hair grows in front of the camera into long, flowing waves that reach past the shoulders. A light breeze lifts it, and they run a hand through it.
Grow long, flowing hair
Your subject’s hair grows long and flowing in seconds while a breeze lifts it. Clear portraits with short hair work best.
Still looks like you
The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
A full transformation in one shot
The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.
How to make a Hair Growth video
- Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
- Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
- Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- Use a clear close-up or head-and-shoulders portrait with the hairline fully visible.
- Short or tied-back hair shows the change most.
- Make sure the face is lit evenly, since shadows can fight the growing hair.
Ideas for using it
- A stylist previews extension or growth-out looks for a client.
- A creator makes a before-and-after reel for a hair-care page.
- A friend tests a new look before committing in real life.

Hair Growth FAQ
Will the hair color change?
Our test went from dark to a warm brown with lighter ends, so expect some shift. A well-lit photo helps keep it close to your color.
Does it work on long hair already?
It works best from short hair. Long hair has less to grow, so the change is smaller.
Do I need to write a prompt for Hair Growth?
No. Hair Growth is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.
How long is the Hair Growth video, and how long does it take?
Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
Does the video have sound?
Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.
Can I use a photo of someone else?
Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
