Tone with O&M (25g O&M CØR.color 9.6 Very Light Violet Blonde + 10g O&M CØR.color 10.16 Lightest Ash Violet Blonde+70g O&M CØR.color 5 vol Activator).

Beach waves can bring out all your highlights and lowlights. Show off your client’s freshly colored hair by creating this voluminous style.
Formula:
Babyhighlight with Oway Hcatalyst 20 Volume Cream Developer + Oway Hbleach Butter Cream Lightener. In between foils, handpaint some pieces for dimension. Tone at the bowl with Oway Hcolor 7.43 Copper Golden Blonde.
Once washed, run some Oway Glossy Nectar through the hair and some Oway Sea Salt Spray, rough dry and style with a 1 ½ inch curling iron. Rough the hair up with some Oway Sculpting Mist.

Effortless, yet elegant. You can add some volume to your client’s hair while also maintaining a natural style. Try out this process to achieve this loose wave look.
Formula:
Use O&M Rootalicious Root Lift Spray at the roots and a bit through the mid lengths. Then, O&M Frizzy Logic Shine Serum through the ends. Blow dry with a round brush. Then working in sections, start at the nape and curl with a 1.25” curling iron. Take vertical sections within the section and curl one to two inches away from the root and leave out one to two inches of the ends. Then pull the ends straight. Alternate the direction of each curl. The sections around the face do away from the face. When it’s all finished lightly comb it out with fingers and scrunch with O&M Surf Bomb Sea Salt Texture Spray to get a little more volume. Then finish the look with the O&M Original Queenie hairspray.
