beach blonde hair ideas and 4 tips

If you have been missing sun-drenched days by the sea, it will come as no surprise that beach blonde hair is making waves once more. How do you create a sun-kissed look without sun? It’s all about layering blonde on blonde hues, bumping up the brightness, and adopting techniques that help to play up texture.

Cool Or Warm?

Beach blonde can be both, so tailor your client’s shade to their features. As a general rule, tones which are in contrast to skin tone and eye color tend to stand out more than those which are in harmony. That means working with warm, golden blondes if the skin is cool and reaching for ashy hues if the skin is warm. If skin is neutral, you can mix up any shade.

Balayage

The painterly strokes of balayage mean it’s a go-to technique for beach blonde hair. After all, the trick is to make locks look like they’ve been caressed by the sun – not lightened in the salon. To dial up the lift, try combining with a few pieces of foilyage.

Try Babylights

To really enhance dimension, consider adding a few babylights, too. These are micro-fine highlights that mimic the shade hair would naturally go during childhood summers. You can balayage your babylights, fusing the two for soft, subtle, seamless freehand strokes. Better yet, you can place them alongside foilyage for a multi-dimensional feel.

Go Chunky

Placing chunky highlights next to babylights takes hair’s texture and dimension to the next level. So, why not foil a few weighty ribbons? You can paint them root to tip or with a balayage technique. Less is more with this trick, so choose your chunky pieces tactically. The front, the sides and a couple through the back will catch the light in the dreamiest way. Now you know all the tips and can get some beautiful beach blonde locks yourself!
