Use current references
Choose originals showing the hair you actually have now. Avoid mixing a recent cut with much older styles unless the product explicitly needs that information for a different purpose.
Review the outputs together
- Place candidates side by side.
- Check hairline and parting.
- Compare length around ears and neck.
- Reject invented volume or colour that changes recognition.
A series may alternate between a short fringe and a much longer style even though each image seems plausible alone. Viewing the set together makes that drift easier to notice.
Keep ordinary variation
Real hair changes with light and movement, so identical strands are not the goal. Look for consistent appearance rather than rigid duplication. If the output repeatedly invents a new style, revise the reference selection or use a real portrait instead of choosing whichever version happens to look most fashionable.
