This cut can accommodate any hair density and is flattering on a variety of face shapes. To maintain its fresh appearance, visit the salon every 3-4 months.
If you have medium-length thin fine hair, ask your stylist to create extra weight at the ends by cutting the perimeter at graduation, and keeping the layers minimal. Request the angle that adds weight, not detracts from it.
It’s very easy to round brush for added volume. You can straighten it for a sleek finish or create waves for a relaxed look that will last several days.

Effortless Beach Waves
Achieving effortless beach waves allows you to embrace the essence of ocean-inspired hair. To recreate this style, begin by applying a volumizing mousse like IGK’s Beach Club, followed by blow-drying the hair. Spray the hair with heat protectants such as Paul Mitchell’s Hot Off The Press. Finally, curl the hair while leaving an inch to an inch and a half through the ends, then gently tousle it with your fingers to enhance curl volume.

Ash Blonde Lob with Soft Waves
This ash blonde lob with soft waves was created by senior stylist Jessica Chave of Kelowna, BC. “Loose waves highlight the long textured layers which makes it the perfect style for this haircut. The great thing about it is that ladies can wear this wavy layered hairstyle on formal events, such as a wedding or even a prom,” explains Chave.
She also insists you invest in a good purple shampoo!” This will be a lifesaver and keep your blonde from becoming brassy. I personally love Fanola No Yellow shampoo. To get your hair blonde enough to show ash tones usually means bleach, so a deep conditioner with protein to help rebuild protein bonds once or twice a week is a must. Expect to rebook for about 6-8 weeks for a root touch-up or toner (or both) to maintain this color.”
Chic Long Beach Waves Hairstyle
The chic long beach waves hairstyle provides women with an enchanting, elegant finish. To recreate this look, start by prepping the hair with a volumizing mousse like IGK’s Beach Club, then blow-dry the hair. Once dry, add some heat protectants that offer a stronghold like Paul Mitchell’s Hot Off the Press. Curl the hair, leaving an inch to an inch and a half throughout the ends. Polish the hair by stroking your hair down with your fingers to avoid tangles and create even bigger curls.
Medium-Length Tousled Dirty Blonde Waves
“This is my vision of a California blonde,” says stylist Thalia Ramirez of Santa Ana, CA. “I crafted these tousled waves with a balayage technique to create a seamless blend and a “rooty” appearance so she doesn’t have to come in for touch-ups every month.”
Ramirez appreciates the contrast between the darker and lighter shades, providing just the right amount of dimension, and the stunning beach waves showcase it beautifully.
There is some upkeep to this dirty blonde color. Ramirez suggests using professional-grade products. “Purple shampoo is essential for maintaining that blonde vibrancy and preventing brassy tones. I recommend Redken Color Extend Blonde. For the beach wave look, I utilize a 1 1/2″ curling iron and finish by tousling the curls with Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine and spritzing it with some Kenra professional platinum dry texture spray,” she adds.
