1. Start with a clear photo

Tap Upload and choose a front-facing photo with good lighting. PNG and JPEG images work best, and photos under 10 MB upload faster.

For the cleanest scan, avoid hats, strong shadows, sunglasses, and side angles. The app reads your face shape first, then builds hairstyle ideas from that scan.

2. Run the scan and wait for the collage

After the photo is selected, tap Start scan. You will see progress while the app checks the image, reads your face shape, and generates the hairstyle collage.

Keep the app open until the collage is ready. Once the image finishes, the preview updates automatically inside the main screen.

3. Create an account to unlock more access

New users can upload, scan, and generate the first collage, but full-size viewing, saved results, and clean downloads work best once you sign up or log in.

If the device is already linked to an account, use the attached email shown in the sign-in box. This keeps your saved results and credits tied to the correct account.

4. Use downloads and saved results

After signing in, you can open your collage in full size, download it, and keep signed-in generations inside your saved results area.

If you plan to come back later, sign in before generating again so the result stays attached to your account instead of only the local guest session.

5. Know when internet is required

The app now works as an online experience. Uploads, scanning, subscriptions, saved results, and downloads all need an active connection.

If anything fails, reconnect first and then try again from the same screen. The app will show status messages when a scan, login, or download needs attention.
