SchmusRealism: Flyaways

Clean up stray hairs without changing the person. Krea 2 loves a glowing halo of loose strands around every backlit head. This slider removes it (or adds more), while the face, hairstyle, curls and background stay as they are.

No trigger word. Strength = how many flyaways. One sampler.

What it does

• -1: stray hairs and the frizz halo around the outline are gone; the hair keeps its style, volume and curl pattern. Best balance.

• -2: a very clean, sleek outline. Strongest effect, but changes a bit more

• +1 / +2: the opposite: more loose, glowing strands, a windswept or "just woke up" look.

• The rest stays put: same face, same framing, same light. The slider was trained to act only around the hair outline.

Use cases

• Clean portraits and headshots: corporate, dating, model and beauty shots without retouching flyaways.

• Golden hour and backlit photos: keep the rim light, lose the frizz cloud.

• Curly and coily hair stay curly: the slider removes the loose halo, not the curls.

• The + side for mood: windswept, messy, natural-light candids.

Examples

Why not just prompt "neat hair"?

• Prompting changes more than the hair. "Neat, smooth hair" acts like a new prompt: the face, the head turn, the clothes and the light change with it, and wavy hair gets straightened. Krea 2 Turbo has no negative prompt to take strays away.

• The slider keeps your image. It only touches the hair outline.

• It's a dial. -0.5 tidies a little, -1 cleans the outline, -2 is very sleek. +1/+2 go the other way.

• No prompt rewriting. Keep the prompt you like and turn the dial, also works on top of other LoRAs.

How to use

Load it like any LoRA: Krea 2 Turbo, 8 steps, cfg 1, euler / simple, Load LoRA (model only) → sampler.

StrengthLook

• Works with other LoRAs. Tested with Detail Slider at 0.5: skin pores and stubble stay, strays still go. Very curly hair may need -1.5 to -2 when stacked.

• Best subjects: portraits where the hair outline is visible, especially with backlight or a rim light.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

• Removes stray hairs that Krea 2 can't drop by prompting without changing the picture.

• Keeps face, identity, hairstyle and curl pattern: trained with a hair-edge mask, the slider learned to leave everything else alone.

• Works on straight, wavy, curly and grey hair, women and men, outdoor backlight and studio light.

• Leaves fur and fuzz alone: cats, wool sweaters and grass barely change (trained with "no change" examples).

Weaknesses (v1, please read)

• some content shift on +/-2: up to +/-1 there's usually no content shift, at higher strengths it gets more likely

• -2 dims the backlight a little. Less frizz means less glowing rim around the head; at -2 the whole glow gets a bit weaker.

• +2 can change clothes (a blazer can turn into a plain top) and makes curly hair bigger.

• Small face changes on some people. Same person, but at -1 / -2 expression or stubble can shift slightly (more on men with longer hair).

• Very curly hair + other LoRAs: at -1 part of the halo can stay; use -1.5 to -2.
