Make it in TelegramA shape with hidden texture
Dark hair often sits in the deepest part of the tonal range, where little detail was recorded. The bot lifts those tones and draws strands that follow the direction of the hair. Fine wisps are invented in a plausible way, so they may not match the real ones. For a close portrait, compare the hairline to other pictures of the person if you have any.
Edges make the difference
A soft, natural edge between hair and background does a lot for realism. A hard cut line looks like a paper cutout. The bot softens the edge and lets a few loose strands overlap the background. If the sitter had a particular hairstyle, such as pinned curls or a short crop, say so in the caption so the structure stays right. Gray and white hair need a different touch than black.
Tips
- Name the hair color if you know it.
- Say whether the hair was curly, straight or tied.
- Mention a hat or a veil if there is one.
- Keep the hairstyle exactly as it was.
