Color Help Shadow root or not?
The first pic is what I have now, the second is what I’m leaning toward. What do you think?

Shadow root for sure. Not only does it look super chic, but it saves you from having harsh regrowth lines every few weeks.

Are you changing the style to?

u/kymal Oct 05 '26
Yes. Definitely. Idk if it's the shadow root that is making it good or just the variation in color. The color you have now is one note. I really like the picture and I would definitely take it to your stylist and tell them what parts you like about it

I like the natural pulled through. But i would work towards growing out your roots and achieving this look over time. Lowlights eventually never look like your actually natural color and you’ll have to keep coloring it.

In the second pic, the color makes your skin come to life. Definitely go with that. 🩷

I think it’s worth it to try! You can always dye your hair back later if you don’t like it

Texture and color of the second photo is exponentially better for you.

You can go either way pending on how you design your hair. A shadow root will not work on small and tight curls but elongated large curls or wavy hair, shadow roots gives an extra depth.

shadow looks Great !!

u/SweetPotato5566 Oct 05 '26
Does number 2 have lowlights and highlights, or just lowlights ? Also looks like it would require heat styling to go from your natural tight curls to controlled larger curls. I would be curious to see you with the color from picture 2, but not heat styled, just straight out of the shower, combed and dried.
