## Best Practices

### Getting Realistic Results

- **Good Lighting**: Use photos with clear, even lighting on the hair
- **Hair Visibility**: Ensure the hair is clearly visible and not obscured
- **Face Forward**: Front-facing or 3/4 angle photos work best
- **High Resolution**: Higher quality source images yield better results

### Prompt Tips

1. **Be Specific**: Describe the exact shade you want (e.g., "warm honey blonde" vs just "blonde")
2. **Reference Tones**: Mention undertones (warm, cool, neutral, ashy, golden)
3. **Texture Preservation**: Request to maintain natural texture and shine
4. **Realistic Expectations**: Fantasy colors may look more vibrant on lighter base colors

### Example Prompt Structure

```
"Change the hair to [specific color with undertones].
[Additional details about dimension, highlights, or effects].
Keep the hair looking [natural/healthy/shiny/textured]."
```

## Mode Selection

**"Do you want fast results or highest quality?"**

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final results, client presentations, portfolio work | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick previews, trying multiple colors, concept exploration | Faster | Good |

## Multi-Turn Color Exploration

Use `session_id` to iterate and explore colors:

```bash
# Start with a base change
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Change my hair to copper red"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/selfie.jpg"],
    "session_id": "hair-exploration"
  }'

# Request adjustment
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Make it more auburn and less orange, add some brown lowlights"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "hair-exploration"
  }'

# Try a completely different direction
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Actually, let me see the original photo with silver gray hair instead"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "hair-exploration"
  }'
```

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `Failed to create prediction: HTTP 422` | Insufficient balance | Top up at eachlabs.ai |
| No hair detected | Hair not visible in image | Use a clearer photo with visible hair |
| Unnatural results | Low quality source image | Use higher resolution photo with good lighting |
| Timeout | Complex generation | Set client timeout to minimum 10 minutes |
