The prompt

PROMPT · EN
Remove only the stray flyaway hairs around the head and the fine strands crossing the face. Preserve the original hairstyle, hair volume, hairline, and natural strand texture, leaving a few subtle flyaways for realism. Keep the face, expression, clothing, background, lighting, and colors unchanged. The result should look like the same photograph with gently tidied hair.

Paste it in English exactly as written. It works best that way, even if you chat in another language.

Tips for the best result

  • Save a separate copy of the original before editing.
  • Start with flyaways only, and adjust the request to name what should change and what should stay.
  • Compare the hairline, volume, strand texture, and skin texture with the original; results can vary.
  • Use this for fine stray strands. It isn't intended to reconstruct facial details hidden behind thick sections of hair.
