#1: Wispy Layers for Extra Long Hair
Create a more flattering style by adding wispy layers to your extra long hair. Long hair can easily become heavy and lay very limp and flat but by adding lots of wispy layers, you can have more volume and movement in your hair. One of the best parts of layers is that they create a unique look to hair while both down and also while up in a ponytail or an upstyle.

#2: Brunette Balayage with Visible Layers
If you want to add depth and dimension to your long, thick hair, a brunette balayage with visible layers is the perfect choice.

The balayage adds a sun-kissed touch to your brunette locks, while the layers help to reduce weight and add volume. This style works best for those with long, thick hair as it is helpful to enhance the natural beauty of your locks and make styling easier. To maintain and style this look, remember to use products specifically designed for color-treated hair. Preferably, stick to brands such as Redken, Joico, and Davines. Use suitable hair products to keep your balayage vibrant. Apply mousse before blow drying and finish your style with a light to medium-hold hairspray.

Try curling your beach waves with hair spray on each section beforehand, and let them cool. Comb through for softer waves or finger through for a curlier finish.
