Shadow-Root Loose Body

A deliberately dark root melting into lighter length, over hair given only a whisper of body.

What makes this look work

The shape comes mostly from:

  • a soft crown-area perm
  • movement from the loose wave
  • curtain fringe
  • a caramel colour

Before you choose it

Upkeep · Medium upkeep
Expect a few minutes of styling most days to keep the shape reading the way it does here.
At the salon
Colouring is part of this look.
A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.
Highlights or balayage may be involved.

How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

Bring this to your appointment

“I like the loose wave and the medium silhouette, and the curtain fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”

A starting line for the chair — edit it into your own words.
