A dry matte Japanese shag at length, all separation and no shine.

What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- shaggy, weight-removed layering
- movement from the beach wave
- see-through fringe
- a ash colour
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Low upkeep
- Day to day this is mostly wash-and-go, though your own texture has the final say.
- At the salon
- Colouring is part of this look.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

“I like the beach wave and the long silhouette, and the see-through fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
