Long Hair Filter: Give Yourself Long, Flowing Hair in an AI Video
The long hair filter in Ginly AI turns a short haircut into long, flowing waves in a short AI video. Choose the effect, add a single photo on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone, and the app makes the clip; there's nothing to edit and no prompt needed.
- In the app: Long Hair Magic
- Available on: iPhone, iPad and Android
What happens in the video
The Long Hair Magic preview opens on a smiling woman with a chin-length blonde bob, standing on a sunny city street in a grey top. A moment later her hair whips out to both sides in a swirl, suddenly much longer and darker. As it settles, it falls well past her shoulders in loose brown waves, with lighter, sun-streaked pieces framing her face. She breaks into a wide smile while a few strands drift in the breeze. The street and the trees behind her stay the same from start to finish.
How to make it with Ginly AI
- On the Effects tab of Ginly AI, go to Spiritual & Magic Effects. The long hair effect lives there, not under Transformation Effects; searching on the All effects screen finds it too.
- Tap Long Hair Magic, then add a single photo: a fresh selfie or one from your gallery.
- Crop to head and shoulders, leaving room below for the new length, and use the mirror-flip if your selfie came out reversed.
- Tap Generate (credits are used here). Open the finished clip in your Library to save or share it.
Tips for the best result
- Start from a photo where your current hair and hairline are clear: no hats, hoods or headbands.
- Leave space around your head and shoulders. The new hair in the preview falls well past the shoulders, so a tight face crop cuts it off.
- Short hair makes the change easiest to see; the preview starts from a chin-length bob.
- Hair tied back in a bun or ponytail? A photo with it worn down shows the starting point better.
- Daylight or a bright window helps, like the sunny street in the preview, so both face and hair are clearly lit.
Ideas to try
- Give your boyfriend, brother or best friend the long hair they've never had. Ask first, and let them decide whether the clip gets posted.
- Just went short? Use a photo of the new cut for a 'missing my long hair' clip, captioned as made with AI.
- Start a long-hair chain in your group chat: you post yours first, then each friend makes one from their own photo.
Frequently asked questions
Which app makes the long hair filter video?
Ginly AI, on iPhone, iPad and Android. The effect is called Long Hair Magic and sits in the Spiritual & Magic Effects category; one photo is all it takes to get the short video. Nothing is generated on the website itself. Download the app.
Is the long hair filter free?
Downloading Ginly AI costs nothing, and new accounts may receive free starter credits, which is how you can try Long Hair Magic for free. Each video uses credits, though; beyond those, weekly subscription plans supply them, and there may be a daily credit gift. Offers like these may change.
Does the long hair filter work for men?
There's one Long Hair Magic template, not separate men's and women's versions, and the preview happens to show a woman. You can add a man's photo; results vary with the photo, so a clear, front-facing shot helps. For a different change on a man's photo, try the AI muscle filter.
Is this long hair filter a live camera filter?
No. It isn't a lens you hold up to your camera, and there's no website version. You add a still photo in the Ginly AI app, and it makes an AI video you can download and share wherever you post.
Can I choose the hair color or length?
No. Ginly AI's templates can't be edited and there's no prompt box. In the preview a blonde bob turns into long, wavy brown hair with lighter highlights, and your result depends on your photo. If you'd rather add a fringe than length, try the bangs filter.
Can I use the long hair filter on my boyfriend's photo?
Yes, if he's an adult and happy for you to use his picture. Ask first, show him the video before anyone else sees it and label it as AI when you post. Never use it to embarrass or impersonate someone.
