Built an AI-Powered Short Hairstyle Simulator with 360° Preview

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my latest project - a web app that helps people visualize how they'd look with different short hairstyles.

The Problem:

Many people hesitate to cut their hair short because they can't visualize how it would look on them. I wanted to solve this with technology.

What I Built:

- AI-powered hairstyle simulator that shows 360° views

- Users can upload their selfie and try on various short hairstyles (pixie cuts, bobs, layered cuts, etc.)

- The simulator shows the hairstyle from multiple angles

- Curated gallery with trending styles and professional tips

Tech Stack:

- Built with modern web technologies

- Integrated AI models for realistic hair rendering

- Responsive design for mobile and desktop

Key Learnings:

1. Image processing for realistic hair overlay is complex

2. Getting good 360° angle visualization required multiple iterations

3. User testing revealed people want style recommendations based on face shape

The Response:

Been live for a few weeks and getting great feedback! People love being able to "try before you cut."

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! What features would you find useful in a hairstyle simulator?
