The mermaid trend is a brand new summer hype surrounding the mystical sea creature that is half girl half fish. However, this trend does not take the fish tail seriously; it is more inspired by the sea colours, shiny scales and being all round more creative with style in an under-water style. As featured in Vogue, this trend is being embraced by both males (merman?) and females. So if you want to get on this hype, her are 15 steps towards joining the mermaid craze.
Hair Chalk
If you want mermaid inspired hair, without being committed to keeping it for a long time or at risk of damage by dying it, then simply use hair chalk. You rub the chalk over your hair and can wash the colour out when you shower.
Hair Extensions
If you have dark hair where hair chalk won’t show up, then try using hair extension and achieve a Kylie Jenner style mermaid twist to your hair.
Beard Dye
This craze is not only for girls; if you fancy being a merman for the day then why not try making your hair look more mystical. This does not have to stop when it comes to facial hair either!
Mermaid Phone Case
While embracing the mermaid look, why not confirm you’re identity with your phone case.
Mermaid Heels
It is pretty unrealistic to think you can get by in everyday life wearing a huge fish tail (even if you wish you could!) so instead why not strut around in mermaid inspired heels. These bold stilettos will turn every Princes heads.
Mermaid Bikini
What better time to embrace the mermaid style, then when you’re on the beach. This subtle mermaid style bikini is simple yet very stylish.

Foil tattoo’s are a huge craze this summer, so why not take both trends and choose a nautical style foil tattoo to pair with your mermaid bikini.
Beach Hair Spray
A huge part of being a mermaid is having wavy mermaid hair; try using a beach hair product to add some volume and tousle to your hair to get those sea like waves.
