At Home Hair Advice to Achieve Stunning Mermaid Wave BY Sexy Hair

1. To create a sexy mermaid style wave to your hair using a curling iron, start with dry or second day hair, this will help the waves stay in place longer.

2. Flip head over and spray a heat protectant like Style Sexy Hair 450 Protect all over. Avoid using a mousse or gel because this will remove the natural wave texture and make the final look appear too crunchy.
3. Part hair into two sections, top and back. Clip the top part of your hair and start creating curls in the back and work your way forward. With a 1 ≤ inch curling iron wrap hair around the iron without opening the clamp; this will help achieve a looser wave instead of tight curls. Hold the iron in the hair for about 6 seconds before releasing.

4. Once curls are completed, finger comb and toss hair while spraying it lightly with a flexible hold hairspray like Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Touchable. Do not use a comb or a brush because this may undo the natural look of the wave pattern.

Additional Tips I’d love to share is that if you’re hair is naturally curly like mine, second day hair is probably less of an option. I also suggest, just washing it and putting a dime size amount of the Curly Sexy Curling Cream in to let it air dry. After it air dries, get creative with braids, sparkly pins and your touch of under the sea to highlight the sparkle that is your hair! Can’t wait to see the pics.
