Virtual try-on for wigs & hair on Shopify

Why Genlook for wigs & hair on Shopify?

Wig buyers aren't just buying a product—they're buying an outcome. Static catalog photos show the wig on a model with different features and skin tones. Even excellent photography cannot answer the only question that matters: "Will this look natural on me?" Virtual try-on closes that gap.

The most natural wig try-on engine

Wigs require advanced blending that clothing engines simply cannot provide. Our dedicated wig AI understands hairlines, lace fronts, and skin tones.

👱‍♀️

Lace front preservation

The rendering preserves the delicate lace transition at the hairline, ensuring it reads as natural hair rather than a hard edge.

🎨

Skin tone matching

The engine detects skin tone from the shopper's photo and adjusts the wig's blending and shading for seamless integration.

🔄

Multi-style support

Lace fronts, full wigs, hairpieces, and extensions all run on the same engine automatically based on the product image.

Genlook vs. generic try-on apps

Genlook

• Purpose-built engine handles the nuances of hair physics and hairlines. - Zero per-SKU setup—the AI routes the image automatically. - Skin-tone aware rendering ensures the result feels authentic to the wearer.
