Now for the biggest question—will this look good on you? Fortunately, the scruffy image looks great with many hair types. “The five o’ clock shadow works best with darker blonde, brown or black hair and not as much with light blond or red hair,” according to Wood. However, if you do have lighter hair, still give the look a try just in case! It could look amazing.
