📋 About This Mod
Shadowheart changes her hair more significantly in Act 3 and also restyles it in the epilogue depending on how her story was resolved.
This mod can be used with other mods that change Shadowheart's hairstyles, but the load order is important. If you want another mod to override Shadowheart's Act 3 hair, then it needs to be placed later in the load order than this one. Mods that change her starting hair should be unaffected.
In my testing, this mod is safe to add to preexisting saves.
All Hairstyles
SPOILER WARNING for all major paths in Shadowheart's storyline! Also, all hairstyles are pictured in the mod images section.
Act 3, Selunite path: Maudlin Pixie
Epilogue, at the farm with a romance partner (new): Duchess Coronet
Epilogue, other Selunite endings (new): Flaunting Bounce
Act 3, Sharran path: Topknot
Act 3, left Sharran path to save parents (new): Willow Tears
Epilogue, as Mother Superior (new): Duster
If you want to change the hairstyle for any or all of these events, you have my permission to create a mod dependency that changes it (or, if it's just for your own personal use, to directly edit this mod's files).
Notes
Shadowheart's character portrait won't update with each new hairstyle until she levels up. If you don't want to wait for this to happen naturally, you can respec her with Withers for immediate access to a level-up.
If you noticed that the Duchess Coronet hairstyle is way, WAY longer than could realistically grow out from Maudlin Pixie in six months, no you didn't. Or, uhh, magic! She used magic to grow it out faster. Totally.
A compact cosmetic mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that gives Shadowheart more significant haircuts, changing her appearance more than once. With 9 endorsements and 739 downloads, it's a niche pick for players who want narrative-driven visual variety for the character.

💡 Beginner Tips
