How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for "long layers" with a "soft, lived-in balayage and a brighter money piece." Discuss how subtle or bold you want the highlights to be.
Tools:
Choosing Products
A color-safe shampoo and conditioner; a purple shampoo for the money piece; a sea salt spray for waves.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
At home, use a purple shampoo on the money piece only to keep it bright.
Style the beachy waves by loosely wrapping sections around a 1.25-inch curling wand.
Caring for your hair
This color is low maintenance and designed to grow out softly.
Trims for the long layers are only needed every 10-12 weeks to keep ends healthy.
