How We Use Images

Hair is a visual subject. You cannot decide whether a cut suits you by reading a paragraph about it, so photography does most of the work on this site.

Every image on Tressora is here to show you a style clearly enough that you can judge it: the shape, the length, the texture, the way it falls. This page explains where those images come from and what they can and cannot tell you.

Where Our Images Come From

Tressora uses a mix of sources, and we want to be direct about each of them.

AI-generated imagery

Many of the images on Tressora are generated using artificial intelligence. The people shown in them are not real individuals, and the photographs are not documentary records of an actual haircut on an actual client.

We use AI imagery deliberately, for three reasons. It lets us show a style consistently across hair types and ages without depending on whichever stock photo happens to exist. It avoids using real people’s likenesses without their meaningful consent. And it lets us illustrate a specific look precisely, rather than settling for an approximate one.

We think this is a reasonable trade, but only if we tell you we are making it. So we are telling you.

Licensed and original photography

Some images are licensed from stock providers or created directly for Tressora. Where a real, identifiable person appears, we use the image under licence or with permission.

What an AI Image Can and Cannot Tell You

What it can do: show you the shape of a cut, the effect of a colour, how a braid pattern sits, roughly how a style reads on a given face shape or hair texture. That is genuinely useful, and it is what most people come here for.

What it cannot do: guarantee that the exact result is achievable on your hair. AI images can render hair in ways that are flattering but not strictly reproducible. Density, curl pattern, hair health, growth pattern, and the skill of the stylist all change the outcome.

Treat every image here as a reference to take to a stylist, not a promise. Ask them whether it will work on your hair. Sometimes the answer will be no, and that is worth knowing before the scissors come out.

Our Standards

An image only gets published if it meets a few conditions:

• The style is shown clearly, not obscured by pose or lighting
• The hair is plausible, not physically impossible
• It is relevant to the article it sits in
• It represents a real range of textures, ages, and tones across the site as a whole
• It does not depict a real, identifiable person without permission

Images that fail these do not go up. If we generate something that looks impressive but shows hair that could not exist, we throw it out. An image that misleads is worse than no image.

Representation

Hair advice that only works on one kind of hair is not much use to anyone else. We aim to show a genuine range of textures, lengths, ages, and skin tones across the site, and to be specific about which styles suit which hair rather than pretending every look works for everyone.
