Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the three styles?

The puff is a high rounded style with laid edges, the Bantu knots are a full head of knots in neat parts, and the twist-out is a set of defined coils.

Can I ask for braids or another occasion?

Yes. Type a direction such as with braids or for wedding, and the same three styles are shown in that direction. A typed direction is a request, not a guaranteed result.

Are these real people?

No. They are generated images of a model, styled as photographs.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
