Hair transplant
Once hair loss has set in, a transplant moves your own hair from the back of your head to the thinning areas. It is the most lasting solution.
- FUE technique: grafts are taken one by one, with no linear scar.
- 1,500 to 4,000 grafts depending on how much hair you have lost.
- Visible result after 6 to 12 months, once the hair has grown back.
- Prices vary a lot between countries and clinics: compare quotes and check the surgeon.

Would a shaved head suit you?
It mostly depends on the shape of your face and skull. A few pointers before you try it live:
Oval face
The easiest case: balanced proportions make the shaved look work almost every time.
Square face
A strong jaw stands out even more without hair, for a sharp, assertive look.
Round face
Keep a short, well-trimmed beard: it lengthens the face and adds structure.
Long face
A fuller beard on the sides balances a high forehead and a long chin.
The best test is still to see it on yourself: that is exactly what the filter at the top of this page does.

Frequently asked questions
What would I look like bald?
The quickest way to know is to see it: the filter at the top of this page shows you bald in real time, with your own face, light and head movements. You can also try it on a photo.
How does the bald filter work?
An AI model detects your face and separates your hair from the background, directly in your browser. The filter then replaces the hair with a 3D skull lit like your face and fills in the background behind it.
Is it free?
Yes, bald-filter.com is completely free: no account to create, no subscription and no hidden fees.
Are my photos stored?
No. The video and photos are processed locally on your phone or computer. Nothing is sent to a server, and what you capture is only saved if you download it.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The filter works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on mobile and desktop, as long as the browser supports WebGL2, which is the case for all recent devices.
How do I get the most realistic result?
Face the camera in even light, avoid strong backlight and pull long hair back behind your shoulders. Hats and glasses are kept as they are.
Can I use the filter on an existing photo?
Yes. Tap the picture icon at the top of the camera and pick a photo where the face is clearly visible. The result is ready in a few seconds.
Is there a bald filter on TikTok, Snapchat or Instagram?
Yes, these apps have bald effects, but they only work inside each app and often look like a sticker on top of your head. bald-filter.com works in any browser, rebuilds a 3D skull lit like your face, and lets you save the photo or video to post it anywhere: TikTok, Instagram Reels or Snapchat stories.
Does the filter work for women and long hair?
Yes, it works for everyone. Very long or voluminous hair is harder to remove cleanly: tie it back or pull it behind your shoulders for the best result.
How do I shave my head myself?
Start by cutting your hair short with a clipper, then shave with the grain using a head shaver or a razor and shaving gel. Finish with a moisturizer, and repeat every 2 to 3 days to keep a smooth head.
