What size do these print or save at?

Square proportions (1024 by 1024), sized to save cleanly to a phone or print on a card.

Can I get a different braid style?

Yes — the direction field takes any braid style, from cornrows to a waterfall braid, and the same three readings render it.

What does the step chart actually show?

The step chart breaks the braid into its plaiting stages, viewed from behind, the way a tutorial diagram would.

Are these real photos of a person's hair?

The salon photo reads like a real braid photograph, but every braid here is generated, not photographed on a real head.

Braid hairstyle ideas: braid crown, fishtail and box braids

Braids — the back of a head wearing a Dutch braid wrapped all the way round as a crown, the raised plait running above the ear, a few loose strands falling at the nape, small white flowers tucked between the sections and the neck and shoulders bare, a salon hair photograph in soft daylight, every strand sharp and the plait pattern legible from the crown to the tail, the plain wall behind falling gently out of focus

Reading 1Braid crown

Reading 2Fishtail

Reading 3Box braids

The braid photographed from behind, the one angle where nobody's face matters: a Dutch braid crown, a fishtail down the back, a set of box braids with beads. Each renders as a salon photo, a step chart and a flat, so the pattern of the plait is always the subject. Ask for a different braid style and the same three readings carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. 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.
