Natural hairKnotless Braids

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.

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 violet region on the left is the only place the model’s pixels are ever allowed to reach a real render — enforced in geometry on the server, not in guidance. There is no setting that turns it off.

Drag the sweep. These three values are read off her photograph, and that region has no write access to anything a render returns.

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. Nothing is sent until you press Generate.

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 that fixes exactly what a style is, so the name you take to your stylist and the mask your render is built from mean the same thing.

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.

Illustrative tally. Sharing a set of four is the point: the poll already exists on her phone, it is just running on other people’s hair.

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.

Want unlimited renders?

The generator above is live now — no signup needed. Unlimited renders and real salon booking are next, Lagos and Abuja first.

Or email hello@braidroom.org.
