Does the wind stop at the end?

No. The final frames hold on the hair flying fully out.

Will strands cover the face?

Some strands sweep across it during the gust, but the person keeps looking into the lens.

Can I use a different model, or make it longer?

Yes. Five seconds on MiniMax H3 is the default; before you generate you can set up to 15 seconds or 2K on H3, or switch to another model listed for this effect in Studio, such as Wan 3.0 for up to 30 seconds. The Generate button shows the updated price first. Our samples were made on MiniMax H3, so other models may interpret the prompt a little differently.

Will it change what's in my photo?

No. The effect only adds motion, light and atmosphere; everyone in the photo stays exactly as they appear in it. The default model doesn't filter photos. Some models you can switch to in Studio apply their own content filters and may turn a photo down.

Is my result private?

Yes. Your upload and the finished clip stay private to your account and never appear on a public page.

Each effect defaults to a five-second clip priced in US dollars on the Generate button. Before you run it, you can switch to a different model, adjust the length, or change the resolution in Studio, and the price on the Generate button updates to match. An ordinary failed or expired run normally releases the reserved amount. For a content refusal, follow the selected model’s billing policy.

Will this effect change how the person in my photo looks?

Your photo anchors the subject; the effect adds the motion and look described in its prompt. Check the face, hands and clothing in the result. If a gesture distorts them, try a clearer crop or a simpler movement.

Can I upload a photo of someone else?

Only one you have the right to use, and never to make intimate content of a real person without their documented consent. The content policy has the full rule.

What this effect sends

This is the full prompt, word for word. Copy it, or open it in the generator and change anything you like.

Within the first second a strong gust hits from the side: the hair whips straight out sideways and streams across the frame, and strands sweep across the face. The wind keeps building through the whole shot, light flickering through the flying hair, while the person stands firm and keeps a steady gaze into the lens. The final frames hold on the hair flying fully out in the wind. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Choose a photo with long, loose hair. That is what the wind visibly moves.
Open backgrounds like a field, beach or rooftop make the gust look believable.
A face turned toward the camera keeps the steady gaze clear through the flying hair.
If you want less motion, soften the wording in the prompt.

How it works

01
Add one photo
Choose the photo to match the example: include both people for a shared gesture, and keep the face and any hands involved clearly visible. Upload your own photo or start with a Hair in the Wind sample.
02
Check the price
Hair in the Wind defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.185. Swap the model or change the length and resolution before you run — the price on the button updates to match, and that's the whole cost of the clip.
03
Generate
Your Hair in the Wind clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

Hair in the Wind keeps one version of this shot. To give Hair in the Wind your own motion or ending, write it yourself in Image to Video, starting from the prompt above.

What it does to your photo

Within the first second a strong gust hits from the side: the hair whips straight out sideways and streams across the frame, and strands sweep across the face. The wind keeps building through the whole shot, light flickering through the flying hair, while the person stands firm and keeps a steady gaze into the lens. The final frames hold on the hair flying fully out in the wind. The person stays exactly as they appear in your photo throughout.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a freckled woman with long red hair in a white dress and sheer mustard-yellow wrap on a sea cliff was hit by a side gust within the first second that flung her hair straight out and sent the wrap streaming, the wind kept building with backlit strands flying, and she held a steady gaze into the lens to the last frame. In a second run, a woman with long honey-blonde hair in a cream knit maxi dress on a beach dune at sunset was caught by a strong side gust within the first second that streamed her hair out sideways and billowed her skirt, and the wind kept her hair flying through the final frames as she stood firm facing the lens.

Longer, loose hair shows the wind best. Outdoor or open-air backgrounds feel natural. Short or tied-back hair moves less. Photos with the face covered by hair or hands hide the steady gaze.

It runs on MiniMax H3 for five seconds by default, and H3 itself goes up to 15 seconds and 2K if you want more. Studio also lets you move the same prompt to another model before you generate, such as Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0, and the price on the Generate button updates with every change. Our samples were all made on MiniMax H3, so other models will read the prompt in their own way.

Good for fashion portraits, dramatic character shots, and outdoor lifestyle clips.

Open the prompt in the generator and change "a strong gust" to "a light breeze" for a softer version, or "from the side" to "from behind" to change the direction.
