Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Here is a photo of my daughter. Show my daughter with four versions of bangs: blunt, curtain, wispy and side-swept. Keep the face, hair color, length and everything else exactly the same so we can compare only the bangs, and label each picture with the style name.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: See how different haircuts would look before committing to one.

Questions to ask me first:
- Which styles do you want to compare?
- Is the photo front-facing with good light?
- Should anything else about the hair stay exactly the same?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Photo: [FRONT-FACING, GOOD LIGHT]
- Styles to try: [LIST]
- Things to keep the same: [LENGTH, COLOR, PARTING]
- Use: [SHOW TO STYLIST / DECIDE AT HOME]

Rules:
- Change only the haircut, never the face.
- Label each image with the style name.
- Keep lighting and angle the same across images.
- Don't share or reuse the photo for anything else.

Checkpoint: Show one style first to check the likeness before making the rest.

If you get stuck: If a style looks unrealistic for this hair type, say so.

Verify before you finish: Every image looks like the same person with only the haircut changed.

Output: One labeled image per style, side by side.

Done when: We've picked a style and can show it to the stylist.

Outcome

Jennifer Mossalgue's preteen daughter had spent months debating whether to get bangs, mostly worried about the 'total humiliation' if they went wrong. They uploaded the girl's photo to ChatGPT and asked for four versions: blunt, curtain, wispy and side-swept. The preteen loved it and finally narrowed down the choice, and the appointment was booked for that weekend. Mossalgue called it hardly a groundbreaking use case, but a fun way to try on a decision before a stylist makes it permanent.
