Are you looking for a new haircut? Or do you wonder if your current haircut is the most suitable for you?
Trying a new haircut can be scary, and figuring out which hairstyle looks best on you can be tricky.
Luckily, nowadays AI tools can help us with all kinds of things, including virtually trying new hairstyles!
The selection of hairstyle apps for men is a little more sparse than for women, but don't worry. I'll introduce you to 3 hairstyle apps for men and their pros and cons.
Here's my current hairstyle. Do you think I should get it cut? Let's see what these hairstyle apps reveal.
In this blog, I'll introduce you to 3 AI hairstyle apps for men: YouCam Makeup, FaceApp, and FaceLab.
| App | Rating (iOS/Andr.) | Summary |
| YouCam Makeup | 4.8 / 4.3 | > 11+ male hairstyles |
| FaceLab | 4.6 / 4.3 | > 25+ male hairstyles |
| FaceApp | 4.7 / 4.4 | > 9+ male hairstyles |
There are plenty of other apps out there, but most of them are very basic because they don't use AI. You'll have to manually place the hairstyle on your head, and those apps also won't be able to remove your original hair. Especially if you have longer hair like me, using those apps doesn't make sense.
1. YouCam Makeup: See An Even More Handsome Version of Yourself
The YouCam Makeup app is an AI selfie editing and retouch app available for Android and iPhone.
Its AI Hairstyle feature comes with 60+ AI hairstyles and hair colors, including 11+ options for men.
The hairstyle options for men include:
The AI-generated hairstyles in this app are very clean, and your original hair gets removed by the app without any blurriness or messed-up background.
A unique feature that I haven't seen anywhere else is the overview function. Simply tap the 4 little squares on the left side of the screen to compare up to 4 hairstyles with each other.
Another part I really like about this app is the convenient and fast generation process. Other apps usually let you tap only one hairstyle at a time, so you'll have to wait a few seconds each time you want to generate a new hairstyle.
When using YouCam Makeup, you can tap all the hairstyles you want to try at once and then start trying them while the app finishes generating all the styles.
To have an even wider selection of hairstyles, you can easily head over to the female hairstyle section, which offers several short hairstyles that also work for men.
One thing you need to take into consideration when using this app is that if you have a receding hairline, the AI will fix that and give you a full hairline. Keep this in mind if you're using the app to decide whether or not to get a haircut.
On the other hand, this app will easily make you see a new handsome side of yourself, which can be fun as well.
Apart from its AI Hairstyle feature, the app also offers a beard feature, a hair color feature, and several face editing and retouch features.
In summery, here are YouCam Makeup's pros and cons:
2. Facelab: Have Fun Trying Trendy Hairstyles
Facelab is an AI photo editor available for Android and iPhone. The app offers hairstyle filters, beard filters, and other AI makeover features, including gender swap and aging.
Its Hair feature offers 25+ hairstyles and 8+ hair colors.
The hairstyle options include:
- Long Hair
- Bald
- Spiky
- Quiff
- Afro
- Gatsby
- Samurai
The app generally provides some really nice hairstyle options, especially the crewcut styles, which look amazing.
However, some of the hairstyle options, like the "Bad Boy" haircut, don't seem very appealing to me personally.
In our test, sometimes the app failed to properly render the hairstyles.
But overall, most of the hairstyle options are quite trendy, and the generated hairstyles look pretty realistic.
Here are the most important pros and cons of the FaceLab app:
3. FaceApp: Most Realistic Hairstyle Try-On
FaceApp is probably the most well-known app on this list. The popular face editor is known for its photo editing and beautifying capabilities, including its hairstyle and beard features.
Despite its popularity, the app's Hairstyle feature falls a bit short. The app offers 9+ hairstyles for men, including:
- Buzzcut
- Long
- Bangs
- Bald
- Wavy
If we take out the bangs styles, the app actually only offers 5 hairstyles for men.
Similar to the FaceLab app, FaceApp sometimes fails to render the hairstyles correctly.
On a positive note, the generated hairstyles look very realistic, taking into consideration the person's natural hairline and hair type.
Here are FaceApp's Hairstyle feature pros and cons:
Final Thoughts - My Hairstyle App Recommendation
In conclusion I'd say, the YouCam Makeup app and the FaceLab app are both great options if you want to try new hairstyles virtually. The FaceApp was a disappointment for me personally.
