10 Gemini AI Hairstyle Photo Prompts for Boys
Short and Sharp Hairstyles
Short hairstyles give a neat and clean look. They suit professional environments and are easy to maintain every day. These prompts help you see sharp, modern, and defined short hairstyles with realistic lighting and texture.
1. The Classic Buzz Cut
"Edit the subject's hair to a very short, uniform buzz cut, approximately 3mm (1/8 inch) long across the entire head. Ensure the fade transition is razor-sharp and clean around the temples and neck. Add ultra-realistic lighting with a soft, directional key light from the side, emphasizing the scalp's texture and smooth lines. Apply a high-definition realism filter with slight cinematic grain to the final image for a professional photoshoot quality. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
2. The High and Tight Fade
"Apply a High and Tight military-style haircut. The sides must have a skin fade that starts very high, fading to bare skin near the ears. Leave the top section slightly longer than usual for this style, maybe 2–3 inches, styled with a matte, non-shiny product, pushed slightly back. Use a natural daylight setting (outdoor shade) to maximize realism and clearly define the drastic fade line and hair texture. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
3. The Textured Crop
"Give the subject a short Textured Crop haircut. The sides and back should have a mid-to-high taper fade. The top hair must be cut short but left choppy and stylishly disheveled, looking like it was styled with a sea-salt spray for a slightly messy, natural finish. Use a warm, indoor light setting with subtle shadows to make the texture of the short, styled top hair stand out as ultra-realistic. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
4. The Side Part Fade
"Recreate a Classic Side Part with a Modern Fade. The part must be a crisp, natural-looking line just above the temple. The hair on the longer side should be neatly combed over, showing a slight natural volume and shine (use a light pomade effect). The sides and back must be a clean low-to-mid skin fade. Apply a sharp focus/depth-of-field effect to bring the hair detail into extreme focus against a slightly blurred background. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
5. The Induction Cut
"Edit the subject's current hair to an Induction Cut, which is the shortest possible clipper cut—practically shaved. The skin on the scalp should be visible and smooth. The entire image must have an enhanced realism filter, ensuring the scalp and surrounding hair follicles look perfectly natural under bright, overhead fluorescent lighting (like a barber shop). This prompt requires extreme detail in simulating the tiny stubble hairs remaining. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
Style 2: Medium Length and Flowing Styles
Medium-length hairstyles provide movement, volume, and versatility. These styles work well for men who prefer natural waves, structured flow, or a clean brushed-back look.
6. The Natural Flow Quiff
"Give the subject a Medium Length Quiff. The hair on top should be 3 to 4 inches long, styled up and slightly back with a natural flow and medium, non-greasy shine. The sides should be a soft taper (not a sharp fade). The hair must appear naturally thick and healthy. Use a professional, diffused studio lighting setup to highlight the smooth curves and height of the Quiff without harsh shadows. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
7. The Slicked Back Undercut
"Apply a Dramatic Slicked Back Undercut. The sides and back must be a high, consistent grade (e.g., a number 2 or 3 guard), without a fade. The top hair must be combed straight back and look very sleek and glossy, as if treated with a high-shine, water-based pomade. Use a dark, moody realism filter with strong light reflections on the slicked-back hair to create a classic, almost cinematic effect. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
8. The Messy Waves or Curls
"Style the subject's hair with a Medium-Length, Messy Wavy Look. The hair should reach just over the ears on the sides and have natural, defined soft waves or loose curls on top, appearing thick and healthy, styled with a matte texturizing product. The overall feeling must be relaxed and undone. Use a soft, sunny outdoor light at dusk or dawn to give the waves a realistic, natural flow and definition. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
9. The Textured French Crop with Long Top
"Recreate a French Crop but with a longer, heavier fringe that falls forward just above the eyebrows. The texture on top should be dense and slightly uneven. The sides and back must be a low, tight fade. The overall look should be modern and effortless. Apply a high-contrast black and white filter that enhances the detail and separated strands of the heavy textured fringe. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
10. The Casual Taper Cut
"Apply a simple, versatile Taper Cut where the hair gradually shortens from the top down. The top should be 3–4 inches long, styled casually, parted on the side, and swept over without being too neat. The sides should blend smoothly without any skin showing (e.g., a number 4 fading to a 2 at the bottom). Use a simple, even lighting condition such as office lighting and a standard realism filter for a natural and everyday look. Also change the pose, posture, and face expression."
