I know some parts can be omitted, but I want to make sure the whole thing is correct and then I will cut it.
Also, what can I say instead of this part? : "shadow loomed stretched and oversized"
Add that comma and the phrase works okay. One neat writer's trick is to put the strongest word of a sentence last, like:
On the wall of her apartment, stretched and oversized, her hair's shadow loomed.
