RightHair is a hair try-on tool. Upload a photo and it renders more than 200 hairstyles and colours on it – bob, pixie, wolf cut, shaggy, layered, buzz – with no app to install and no login required to start. Around the core sit a set of related face tools: bald filter, beard filter, eye colour changer, face shape detection, background removal, image upscaling and extension. It is operated by ZINGKODE LTD and reports more than 50,000 users.
The privacy handling is the reason this rates where it does. Photos are deleted after 24 hours and the policy is stated on the landing page rather than buried, which for a product whose input is a picture of your face is the first thing worth knowing and the thing most competitors omit. Requiring no login to try is the same instinct – you can see whether the rendering is any good before handing over an email address, and hair try-on is a category where quality varies enormously between a convincing result and an obvious paste-on.
Two caveats. Face shape detection driving a style recommendation is presented with more confidence than the underlying idea supports – the face-shape-to-haircut framework is a magazine convention rather than a finding, and a competent stylist considers hair texture, density, growth pattern and how you actually live, none of which a photograph shows. Treat the output as a way to see a shape on your own head instead of imagining it, which is genuinely useful, rather than as advice. Rates sit behind a credit upgrade on a pricing page.
