    30 Ways To Get The Mermaid Hair Of Your Dreams

    Tress to impress.

    1. Create gorgeous, loose curls that'll last for days using a quick-heating curling wand.

    2. Put your curling wand to good use for styling effortless, I-woke-up-like-this beach waves.

    3. Keep your locks looking sleek and shiny with a few spritzes of a smoothing hair oil. Farewell, frizz.

    4. Switch from regular hair ties to a set of criss-cross hairpins that are just ~pearl-fect~.

    5. Inspire serious hair-envy with a surprisingly easy-to-do flower braid.

    6. Go from pin-straight to perfectly wavy with a volumizing spray (before curling) and a holding spray (after curling).

    7. Moisturize your mane using a simple but effective DIY avocado treatment oil.

    8. Elevate your hair to unicorn status by coloring it a shade of pastel. The best part is you don't even have to commit to one color — it washes out in a few weeks (four to eight shampoos).

    9. Wash away residue left behind by your fave hair products (which can cause dullness and greasiness) with a clarifying shampoo.

    10. Opt for flexible curling rods to get perfect waves sans heat.

    11. Decorate your tresses with a hair crown that looks like it was uncovered in a lost treasure chest.

    12. Try to wash your hair less often, so you don't strip away its natural oils. Keep your locks looking fresh and soft between washes with a dry shampoo and conditioner duo.

    13. Add a fishtail braid (or two) to trick people into thinking you're a hair whiz.

    14. Give Rapunzel a run for her money with a braided twist worthy of a princess.

    15. Pop on a seashell clip to make a messy bun look a bit more ~clamorous~.

    16. Whip up a nourishing hair mask using ingredients you can find in the fridge.

    17. Wow everyone at your next party with a little glitter and some hair chalk. It applies easily on dry hair and washes out with some shampoo.

    18. Learn a simple way to make a standard half-up-half-down hairdo look professionally done.

    19. Forgo store-bought sea salt spray and make one from scratch using a DIY recipe.

    20. Restore damaged and brittle hair to a silky soft state with an argan oil leave-in treatment/conditioner.

    21. Wrap wet hair in a super-soft and absorbent microfiber towel to avoid frizz and damage. It creates less friction than regular terry cloth towels and cuts down drying time, so you won't need to blow dry.

    22. Nourish, detangle, and enhance your natural curls with a hair smoothie made from shea butter, coconut oil, and hibiscus.

    23. Prep your tresses before exposing them to heat and sun with a primer lotion. Styling tools and UVA/UVB rays can damage hair and cause color-treated hair to fade.

    24. Embrace the ombre hair trend with a potent hair dye that works on both light and dark hair.

    25. Or, go all out and color your whole head in a bold shade that'll look great even as it fades.

    26. Treat your hair and scalp to a hydrating mask every so often, especially as the weather gets colder and drier.

    27. Get nominated for "Best Hair" with an Instagram-worthy waterfall twist.

    28. Go for a relaxed french braid instead of a messy bun on days you don't feel like trying. It'll look like you put in more effort (when you really didn't).

    29. Sleep on a silk pillowcase to avoid waking up with bedhead (the bad kind). It's gentler on your hair and skin than cotton or synthetic materials.

    30. Look like an actual mermaid by wearing hair accessories sourced from the sea. Ariel would approve.

    Great hair, don't care.
