What can this tool do?
Dark Hair Changes Everything About Your Look
A black hair filter lets you upload a selfie and preview different black hair shades — from high-contrast jet black to softer natural black — so you can see how dark hair impacts your overall complexion and facial features before coloring.
Going dark is one of the most impactful hair changes you can make. Black hair can make skin look brighter or washed out, depending on tone and undertones. The difference between jet black and soft black is significant — one creates sharp contrast, the other blends more naturally. The black hair filter lets you see the exact impact before you commit.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between jet black and blue black hair?
Jet black is a pure, high-contrast black with no visible undertone. Blue black has a subtle cool, almost navy iridescence visible in certain lighting — popular for a more dimensional, fashion-forward look.
Will black hair wash out my complexion?
It depends on your skin tone. The filter shows you exactly how each shade interacts with your complexion so you can see whether it enhances or overwhelms your features.
Can I preview black hair over dyed or highlighted hair?
Yes. The filter applies the selected black shade over your current hair color in the photo, giving you a realistic result regardless of your starting point.
