Waist Shadow-Root C Tips
A dark shadowed root melting into lighter waist-length hair that turns inward only at the tips.
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a soft crown-area perm
- movement from the c-bend
- 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.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

“I like the c-bend and the extra-long silhouette. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
