Explore 6 Shaved Head and Balding Looks
Compare the scalp, hairline and upkeep of each look. Five share one men's portrait; the widening part uses a separate women's example.
Clean-shaven bald
Razor-smooth, with your whole head shape on show.
- Scalp on show
- Bare skin from the forehead to the crown.
- Hairline and edges
- No hairline at all; your brows and ears frame the face.
- Everyday upkeep
- Frequent razor shaves, plus moisturizer and sun protection.
Bald Before & After on Different Hair Types
Compare AI-created bald previews on short textured hair, long waves and natural coils. Drag each slider to see the change.
Shaved Head with a Stubble Beard
Short textured hair is taken down to a light shadow while the facial stubble is kept. Notice how the beard frames the face once the top is gone.
From Long Waves to a Clean-Shaven Head
The biggest change on this page: long hair comes off and the ears and neck appear. Compare how the face, brows and makeup are kept.
Natural Coils to a Clean-Shaven Head
Short coils are taken down to smooth skin while the short beard stays. See how the beard's outline carries more of the look.
Plan Your Shaved Head with 5 Simple Checks
Head shape, length, facial hair and scalp care all change how a bald look feels day to day. Check these before you pick up the razor.
Hair can hide flat spots, bumps and the curve at the back of the head. The preview shows the front, so smooth damp hair flat and check your profile in a mirror too.
Damp hair smoothed flat gives a rough idea of the shape a shave would reveal.
A razor-smooth head shows every contour and needs frequent shaving. A short stubble shadow keeps a trace of your hairline and softens the contrast of a pale scalp.
Smooth skin or a light shadow: the two looks differ most along the hairline.
With no hair on top, facial hair does more of the framing. The edit is designed to keep your beard and brows, so you see the combination you'd really have.
The same shaved head with and without a short beard. Facial hair changes the balance of the face.
A newly bare scalp is often paler than your face and can burn or dry out. Plan on sunscreen or a hat outdoors, a light moisturizer, and time for regular shaves.
Sun protection and moisturizer become part of the routine once the scalp is bare.
If your hair is thinning, preview a balding stage beside a clean shave and see which feels more like you. A preview isn't a prediction; for sudden or patchy loss, see a dermatologist.
Look at your temples and crown in good light, then compare them with the previews.

Clean-shaven bald is razor-smooth with no shadow. The stubble look shows a head a day or two after shaving: a faint, even shadow that still traces your hairline and often looks softer. Try both on the same photo to compare.
The receding hairline, thinning crown, horseshoe and widening part show common patterns of hair loss on your photo. They are visual previews, not medical predictions, and can't tell whether or when you'll lose hair. If you notice sudden, patchy or unexplained hair loss, a dermatologist or doctor can help find the cause.
The tool is designed to change only the hair on your scalp while keeping your eyebrows, beard, face and background. Generative edits may introduce small differences, so compare the result with your original. It also can't see bumps, scars or birthmarks hidden under your hair.
Clean-shaven bald and Shaved head with stubble work on any photo, including long hair. Widening part shows a thinning pattern that is common in women; its example uses a separate women's portrait. The receding hairline and horseshoe follow male-pattern shapes.
Some people shave their heads because of alopecia or before chemotherapy and want to see the change first. A preview can help you picture a shaved head in your own time. It can't show how a condition or treatment will affect your hair; your care team is the best guide for that.
Use a sharp, front-facing photo with even light and your forehead and hairline visible. Push long hair back, and avoid hats, headbands and heavy shadows. Only use photos of yourself or of people who have agreed to it. The tool accepts JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB.
