Is the song included?

No. The clip has the model's own ambient sound or none; add the track you want in TikTok, Reels or CapCut, where the licence is handled for you.

How much does a bouncy hair AI video cost?

63 credits for 5 seconds at 480P, about $0.62 on the $9.90 first pack; 125 and 188 credits for 10 and 15 seconds. The price is shown before you generate, and a failed job returns its credits.

Does it work with short hair or a ponytail?

Short hair moves less, so the effect is subtle; a ponytail or loose waves give the clearest swing. Hats and tight buns leave nothing to animate.

Can I upload a video instead?

Not on this page; it starts from one photo. To copy a motion from a clip you filmed, use the motion control page.

About Bouncy hair AI on Cicadas

The bouncy-hair clip is the one where someone tilts or bounces and their hair swings out, trails behind and settles. This page makes it from one portrait: the photo is the first frame, MiniMax H3 Max animates the head and the hair over 5, 10 or 15 seconds, and the face stays the face in your photo. No soundtrack is included; the trend's song is added in TikTok or Reels afterwards.

Head tilt: curls lift, trail and settle.

MiniMax H3 Max image to video, 5 seconds at 480P, from one 3:4 portrait of a woman with loose curls in a hallway; back in under a minute. She tilts her head to the left and back and gives a small shoulder bounce; the curls lift, follow with a delay and settle with two smaller bounces. Face, sweater and hallway stay as in the photo. Sound removed for this page.

Bounce on the spot: four bounces and one head flick.

Same portrait, same settings. She bounces lightly four times and flicks her head once; the hair swings out wide and bounces back, and the face keeps its likeness. The hallway stays fixed. Sound removed for this page.

Why use Cicadas for Bouncy hair AI

One portrait, loose hair

Use a clear portrait with the hair down and visible against the background. Shoulders in frame help the bounce read; a hat or a tight bun gives little to move.

Two prompt styles

A small head tilt where the hair lifts and settles with two diminishing bounces, or four light bounces on the spot with one head flick that swings the hair out. Both are single continuous shots.

See the price first

At 480P, 5 seconds is 63 credits, 10 seconds 125 and 15 seconds 188; at 768P they are 100, 200 and 300. About $0.62 for 5 seconds on the $9.90 first pack. A failed generation returns its credits.

Your own photo only

Upload only a photo of yourself or someone who agreed. Nothing is replaced or added to the face.

How to use Bouncy hair AI

03
Check the quote, generate, and download the MP4 from My videos; add the music in your editing app.

Which photo works

Front or three-quarter view, hair loose, even light, simple background. A vertical photo gives a vertical 9:16 clip for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. In our tests the hair kept its colour and length; very fine strands can soften slightly while moving.

What this page cannot do

It does not change your hairstyle or colour, does not include the trend's audio, and does not animate an existing video. For a motion copied from a clip you filmed, use the motion control page.

Bouncy hair AI prompt ideas

Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot. Or write your own shot by shot in the prompt generator.

“The woman in the photo makes one small, relaxed head tilt to the left and returns to center, then a gentle shoulder bounce. Her loose hair lifts slightly, follows the movement with a soft delay and settles with two diminishing bounces. Keep her face, hair and the background exactly as in the photo. Fixed camera, one continuous shot, no text.”
“The person in the photo bounces lightly on the spot to a beat, four small bounces, and flicks their head once so the hair swings out and bounces back. Keep the face, hair and the background exactly as in the photo. Fixed camera, one continuous shot, no text.”
