How do you write prompts to describe hairstyles?

ねむ
Translated to English·

I'm really unfamiliar with hairstyle names, and basically when I write hairstyle prompts, I often combine these 5:

Short hair, semi-long hair, long hair, straight, wavy

😂 (Sometimes I also write "bun hair" or "twin tails" though)

For the record, if I visualize the gap between how society generally perceives hairstyles and my own perception, it looks like this...

By the way, when I input "hair with a bun shaped like a croissant" and generated an image, it produced a girl with a croissant-shaped hair accessory 🤣🥐

(The croissant looks like horns, but it's cute in its own way)

What words do you all use often when writing hairstyle prompts?
Please let me know!

Recently, I learned the wolf cut.

Me too!
I learned how to do a half-up on this site!

Straight hair, short hair, very short hair, wolf cut, semi-bob cut, half-up, pigtails, hairstyle (for when you want to keep it random) — these are the hairstyle prompts that get used a lot.

I've never heard of a semi-bob cut before👀
Ultra-short hair, I think I'll try it next time!

@ねむ

Semi-bob cuts tend to end up looking like a bob with even ends, you know. Since "very short hair" didn't work well for ultra-short hair, this is the substitute for that 👍️

I just tried it!
The ultra-short hair was hit-or-miss, but the semi-bob cut turned out pretty good ☺️

"Should be around semi-long, ponytail, blunt bangs.
Even when I think, 'I'd like something like this,' I don't know the specific names, so I leave the hairstyle to the generative AI (;^_^A"

I see!
All of them are words I can understand, so I'm actually relieved ☺️
I also sometimes don't know the formal names for hairstyles or clothes, so I sometimes ask AI about them too 🤖

Ahoge on a shaved head. Couldn't do it😞🌀

I can imagine what you wanted to create from the words ☺️
This one has a cool and cute feel too, which is nice!
Maybe AI also has variations in its knowledge about hairstyles 😅

For example, I use "single bun hairstyle" and my husband uses "wavy black long hair with a 7:3 parting".
Somehow, the AI just can't handle bangs instructions well~. If "center parting" doesn't work, I try things like "part in the middle", but models that can't do it just can't...🤔 Lately, I've been gradually figuring it out though.

You always make it public, don't you! Reading it again, both of you are surprisingly simple.
I haven't written many instructions about bangs before, so this is a good learning experience ☺️

Everyone's amazing. I'm really leaving it all to you all. I'm enjoying how using ribbons brings out all sorts of different tying methods.

ねむOP·

I also sometimes write ribbon hair ornaments in prompts, so I understand the feeling of enjoying random generation 🎀☺️
