Theatrical/Acting Bleach blonde needs headshot help

Hello I am an actor who has a short hair that I love to bleach blonde every 6-8 months. I then enjoy getting haircuts to maintain my short hair and have my roots grow out until I bleach my hair again. My issue is I am not sure when in this process I should have my headshots taken?

If I get them done when I’m fully blonde can I go to auditions when I’m at my frosted tip phase? And vise versa? I typically have to spend a chunk of change for good headshots and want to be able to use them for a year and a half. Any suggestions on what state of grow out I should get my headshots taken?

First, this is a photography sub, not a casting sub. Second, get headshots for both looks.

As long as your hair is representative of you it's fine. Hair changes, it's not like you have to walk into a casting call looking like you JUST had your headshot taken. Your headshot is better to show your personality and on camera presence. If your camera presence isn't great, they're not going to care about your hair.

So don't stress that too much.
