The wavy style of the yarn, which gives it that beachy look, will continue with everything this season and learning a few tricks for a perfect result is essential
The “mermaid hair” is a hit in the summer. Gil Britto explained everything about the style that promises to be successful in the hottest season of the year.
According to the pro, mermaid hair is actually a wavy (quite different from curls) with a jagged look, and it’s an effect that’s most visible on long hair. In addition, when doing it, the strands need to be thinner, which makes the hair more voluminous, giving it a very beachy, natural and laid-back look.
THE MATERIALS NECESSARY FOR A PERFECT RESULT!
“The main item to achieve mermaid hair is the tri-wave styler. It differs from the others we are used to seeing out there, as it has three semi-cylinders positioned next to each other, and this makes the process much faster.”, said the professional. But he reinforced: The thermal protector is as fundamental as the modeler, so that the result is more beautiful and does not affect the health of the threads.
“In addition to the triondas modeler and the thermal protector, another option to make the waves even more natural is to use a hairbrush at the end of the whole process, in this way, the waves will open up and not be so defined. Therefore, for those looking for this effect, it is also necessary to separate a brush”, added.
TIME TO PUT IT INTO PRACTICE!
First of all, the specialist emphasized: after all the care with the strands has already been noted and the person has already become familiar with the correct way to handle the curling iron, the next times will be even faster and the beachy hair style will be able to do part of the look on several occasions.
He listed a step-by-step of the most important steps, and how to put them into practice:
– This effect is possible on any type of hair, but if it is curly, it must first of all be aligned;
– It is necessary to separate the locks horizontally and they must be at most four fingers wide. Once this is done, always remember not to bring the styler too close to the roots, so that the volume is not concentrated on the top of the head;
– Fitting the curling iron into the last wave made until you reach the tip is a great tip so that the curl maintains a pattern and there is no risk of leaving any part of the hair flat;
– For a more lasting effect, it is recommended that throughout the process of creating the waves, the fixing spray is applied.
