Ash Shadow-Root Midi
Shoulder-length hair with a deliberately dark shadowed root melting into a cold pale ash length, worn dead straight.
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a soft crown-area perm
- curtain fringe
- a ash colour
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Higher upkeep
- This shape rewards regular styling — the reference finish leans on it.
- At the salon
- Colouring is part of this look.
- Bleaching may be involved — ask what that means for your hair's condition.
- A treatment supports the finish.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

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