As she isIn the style

You change your style every two to six weeks. It costs a day in the chair and it is not coming out early. Right now the whole decision runs on saved screenshots and hope.

Upload one selfie. See yourself in knotless braids, cornrows, faux locs, twists or gele — then walk in with a brief that says exactly what to ask for, how long to sit, and what to expect.

The model may touch her hair.
Nothing else.

The failure that kills a product like this is subtle: a jaw quietly narrowed, a nose thinned, skin lifted two shades. It reads as flattery for about a second and as an insult forever after. So the hair layer is masked out of the face region in geometry, not in guidance. There is no setting that turns it off.

Jawreading…

Drag the sweep. These three values are read off her photograph, and the hair layer has no write access to the region they sit in.

Do it now, on your face.

The parting map and braid geometry below are drawn straight onto your photo, on your device. Salon-accurate texture, colour blending and stray-hair detail are rendered by Braidroom’s model.

Real render

Sends this photo to Braidroom’s model. The result is composited back onto your original photo through a fixed mask, so the model cannot touch anything outside the hair region — whatever it tries.

Front-facing works best. The sketch above is drawn in your browser — it stays there unless you ask for a real render below.

THIRD COPY · CATALOGUE

Twelve styles, named the way a stylist names them.

Flip any card to the drafting behind it — the parting map and row geometry the style is actually built from. That geometry is what the model is conditioned on, and it is why these render as knotless braids rather than as generic waves.

Reference photography here is licensed stock, standing in until the real thing arrives. Two cards already ship blank rather than show you a style mislabelled — the catalogue is sourced from working Nigerian stylists, paid, credited, and booked through.

TOP COPY · THE HANDOFF

A screenshot is a wish.
This is a work order.

The gap between what you pictured and what you got is almost never skill. It is vocabulary. “Medium knotless, waist, middle part, 1B” and “those ones from Instagram” produce different heads.

So every render comes with the brief: the reference, the correct technical name, the sitting time, and the cost band. Tear the stub off and hand it over.

CARBON BACK · TERMS

Free to decide. Paid to decide a lot.

Nobody picks on the first render. A real visit is fifteen tries, then another fifteen three weeks later. So a handful of renders a day are free, and unlimited is a subscription.

The second line is salons: a stylist pays to put her actual work in the catalogue and takes the booking referrals that come off it. That is also how the catalogue gets sourced without scraping anyone.

Prices are not set. Nothing on this page quotes one, because inventing a number your stylist has to honour would be the same failure as slimming a face.
