What Kurli is

Kurli is a web-based AI hairstyle advisor that uses a selfie to estimate facial shape and proportions, recommend haircuts and render a selected style onto the user's photo. Its browser-based face analysis uses MediaPipe to read 468 facial points. Recommendations consider face shape, features, hair type and presentation, and include a short reason. Kurli says it accounts for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair, as well as styles for thinning hair. An analysis selects five styles: the top choice is free, while rendering a style and accessing the other four choices require payment. The free analysis requires no account; optional Google sign-in lets users save looks and photos to revisit across devices. Kurli recommends a clear, front-facing selfie in good light with the full face and hairline visible. Photos are sent over an encrypted connection to Google's Gemini API, and Kurli keeps copies for result checks. It says it does not sell or publish photos or use them to train AI models, and that users can request deletion by email. Kurli cautions that face-shape results are estimates and that its styling guidance does not replace an in-person hairstylist or medical advice.
