FAQ
AI Dread Filter FAQ
Answers about one-photo input, GPT-Image-2, portrait quality, loc options, and access
What is an AI Dread Filter?
It is an AI hairstyle filter that transforms one uploaded portrait into a generated preview with a dreadlock or loc hairstyle.
How does the AI Dread Filter from photo work?
Upload one clear portrait and apply the effect. AI Hug uses GPT-Image-2 to interpret the person and rebuild the hair with loc-specific roots, texture, length, and volume.
Do I need to upload more than one image?
No. The effect is designed as a one-uploaded-image transformation, so one suitable portrait is enough to start.
What kind of portrait works best?
Use a sharp, evenly lit adult portrait with a visible face, hairline, ears, and neck. Heavy blur, deep shadows, hats, or major hair obstruction can leave less detail for the transformation.
Will the person still look recognizable?
The effect aims to follow visible facial features, pose, lighting, and background while changing the hair. Because the result is generative, review likeness and fine details before using it.
Which dreadlock styles can I explore?
You can try directions such as short locs, shoulder-length dreadlocks, long locs, thicker or finer strands, center or side parts, tied-back styling, and softly layered shapes.
Is the AI Dread Filter free or unlimited?
This page does not promise free or unlimited use. Current access, credits, and generation limits depend on the AI Hug plan shown when you use the effect.
Is the result an exact prediction of a real loc hairstyle?
No. Treat it as a visual planning aid. Real results depend on hair type, density, length, installation method, maintenance, and the technique used by a stylist.
