The Secret to Effortless Mermaid Waves

Step 1: Prep Your Hair

Mermaid waves are the epitome of effortless beauty, and achieving this look at home is easier than you think. Catherine Ho, a stylist at Hershesons Belgravia, shares her expert tips on how to create the perfect mermaid waves using just a few key tools and products.

Start with damp hair and apply a small amount of Hershesons Almost Everything Cream to the mid-lengths and ends. Use your fingers to distribute the product evenly, then detangle with a wide-tooth comb. This step helps smooth the hair and makes styling easier.

Step 2: Rough Dry Your Hair

Flip your head upside down and rough dry your hair until it’s completely dry. The goal here is to create volume and natural texture, so don’t worry about achieving a perfect blowout.

Step 3: Create Beautiful Waves

For the perfect mermaid waves, use the Hershesons Multi-Tasker with the Waver attachment. Take one-inch sections of hair, clamp from the root, hold for 8-10 seconds, then glide the tool down the strand. Repeat this process section by section until your entire head is waved. Remember, the key is to keep the sections even but not too neat for a relaxed, beachy look.

Step 4: Finish with a Flourish

To complete your mermaid waves, spray a generous amount of Hershesons Air Dry Spray with UV protection. This spray adds texture, helps your waves hold, and protects your hair from sun damage, making it perfect for summer styling.

Whether you’re heading to the beach or simply want that effortless, air-dried look without the waiting time, this routine is your ticket to soft, undone waves that are sure to turn heads.

Mermaid waves are a timeless hairstyle that exudes a sense of carefree elegance. By following these simple steps and using the right products, you can achieve this coveted look at home with ease. So, embrace your inner mermaid and make waves wherever you go!
