Most people have no clue what actually looks good on them, which I believe is one of the reasons looksmaxing has gotten so popular over the last few years.
AI can help you looksmax for free. And it does a better job than you’d expect.
Facial hair. Hairstyles. The stuff that changes your appearance instantly but is almost impossible to judge on your own face. That’s where this strategy comes into place.
You only need two free tools:
- Nano Banana Pro to generate a grid of your face in different styles. Click the banana icon. Free users get 2-3 free images per day, so use them wisely, and don’t f*ck this up!
- Any LLM (like ChatGPT) that accepts images to evaluate which one looks best.
It sounds strange, but it works well. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1. Generate Your AI Face with Different Facial Hair and/or Hairstyles With Nano Banana Pro
Nano Banana Pro lets you create a clean grid of your face using different hairstyles or facial hair setups. You plug in the prompt, add an image or images of your face, and it produces a lineup of options.
Create one grid for facial hair and one for hairstyles, or whichever one you’d like to generate. Don’t combine them at the same time, or you will confuse the model.
A. Facial Hair Prompt
Copy/Paste into Nano Banana Pro + Add Images of Yourself:
Create a photorealistic image grid. The subject in every image must be the exact same person from the attached reference photos. Maintain the person’s facial structure, skin tone, and head of hair consistently across all images. The images in the grid will just be headshots.
The grid should be arranged in a 2×4 layout, with each cell clearly showing the person with a different, distinct facial hair style. The styles to be included are:
Clean Shaven: No facial hair at all.
Short Stubble: A light, even layer of stubble across the face.
Short Beard: A well-groomed, short beard.
Long Beard: A full, longer beard.
Goatee: Facial hair only on the chin, styled as a classic goatee.
Mustache: A standalone mustache with no beard.
Love Spot: A single patch of hair just below the center of the lower lip.
Caveman: A wild, unkempt, full beard and mustache style.
The lighting and background should be consistent and neutral to ensure the focus remains on the variations in facial hair. The final image must be a single, cohesive grid.
B. Hairstyle Prompt
Copy/Paste into Nano Banana Pro + Add Images of Yourself:
Create a photorealistic image grid. The subject in every image must be the exact same person from the attached reference photos. Maintain the person’s facial structure, skin tone, and facial hair consistently across all images. The images in the grid will be headshots.
The grid should be arranged in a 2×4 layout. It is critical that this grid contains exactly eight DIFFERENT hairstyles. Each of the eight cells in the grid must display a unique and distinct hairstyle; no two styles should be alike or only minimally varied. The AI must select and generate eight distinct hairstyles that are considered relevant and popular options for a person of the subject’s apparent age. These styles should offer a diverse range of looks, from short and classic to longer and more modern.
The lighting and background should be consistent and neutral to ensure the focus remains on the variations in hair. The final image must be a single, cohesive grid.
Step 2. Upload the Face Grid to ChatGPT and Ask It To Choose the Most Attractive Look
Drop the grid into ChatGPT and run the evaluation prompt below. It will choose the best version of your face and explain why. These models have been trained on millions of images, so they pick up on patterns in symmetry, proportions, and common traits associated with attractiveness.
It isn’t guessing. It’s recognizing learned patterns and giving you the best answer it can.
Copy/Paste into ChatGPT:
Act as a person of the opposite sex of the person in this picture who has no problem providing their honest opinion on what is generally considered the most attractive to them and their peers for this specific person’s look. Look at the attached image. Tell me which [facial hair or hairstyle] style looks most attractive on this person and briefly explain why without using any insults or anything even remotely hurtful. Do not comment on whether this person is attractive or unattractive. They just want to know which [facial hair or hairstyle] to use. Your feedback is valuable, and they might act on it, so think hard about this and provide the best answer.
Step 3. Make Sure You Can Actually Wear the Style
This is common sense, but I had to include it because common sense is not always common. AI does not know your limitations.
• If you can’t grow facial hair, skip that part completely.
• If you have patchy growth, avoid styles that need thickness.
• If you’re bald, ignore the hairstyle prompt.
• If you hate a specific style, tell the model not to include it.
Use your judgment. Pick only what you can realistically pull off. If you need help knowing what that is, then ask a brutally honest friend or your significant other.
Step 4. Rerun the Evaluation Prompt in ChatGPT a Few Times (Optional)
LLMs can give slightly different answers. Run the evaluation in ChatGPT a few times and use the result it picks most often.
If you want more confirmation, test the same grid in Claude, Venice, Grok, or Gemini.
Step 5. Ask How Many “Attractiveness Points” the Upgrade Adds (Optional)
Once you get your winner, ask:
“How many attractiveness points does this add compared to my current look [describe your current look], and why?”
It’ll give you a number and the reasoning behind it.
Get creative. You can also ask which style looks worst, or the top three styles. Or go crazy and change up the prompt to have Nano Banana Pro put you in different clothing styles, or with a different skin complexion, or with a smaller nose. Whatever you want, really. As with everything AI… the sky is the limit.
The Big Question: Does AI Really Know What Looks Good?
It’s not perfect, but it can be very good. It understands patterns. Image models learn symmetry, facial structure, visual balance, and the features people usually associate with attractiveness.
When the model evaluates your grid, it’s matching your face to patterns it has seen countless other times.
Use it as a tool, not a final truth. Don’t overuse it or obsess. Don’t become a neurotic headcase over this. Your results are just for fun.
If you want to add human opinion into the mix, you can get creative with the image grid from Nana Banana Pro. Share the grid on social media and see what your friends and followers think is the best style. Run around your local bar and ask people there. Just be sure to tell them to visit this site when you do.
