Celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons is a beauty expert we keep Instagram alerts turned on for, and a quick scroll through his feed makes it clear why: His clients include everyone from Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner to Jennifer Lopez and the one and only Madonna. Most recently, the pro broke down the secret behind the “Material Girl” hitmaker’s beachy waves, and now we’re itching to try the look ourselves.
Fitzsimons styled Madonna’s long, blonde hair into perfectly imperfect beach waves. Think: a more polished, editorial take on that sun-dried, post-ocean-dip texture we all love. As seen in the images shared to his Instagram grid, her waves are still defined but still felt natural—equal parts effortless and elevated, and totally Madonna. Check out the hairstyle for yourself below.
Fitzsimons kindly shared his step-by-step process in the caption of his post, and it’s surprisingly simple. “Firstly I sprayed in @andrewfitzsimonshair AF1 10-In-1 Leave-In Conditioner on her towel-dried hair, then I sprayed a generous amount of Model Volume Wave Spray (the secret-sauce of this look) throughout her hair to amplify her natural wave pattern,” he explained.
“I then simply dried her hair with my @wavytalkofficial Pro Fast-Drying Hairdryer with the diffuser attachment, scrunching her hair every now and then but not disturbing the waves too much until it was dry,” he continued. “Then I raked my fingers through her hair to break the waves up a little bit. Finally I ran a little Fantasy Curls Nourishing Serum throughout to keep her waves healthy and moisturized!”
