If you want to channel your inner mermaid this season, you can achieve the look in various ways. Bleaching your hair may require bleaching strands regularly for best results, but it can be worth the commitment for those able to keep up with regular touch-ups.
Mermaid Balayage
Mermaid balayage is an increasingly popular technique that’s making waves. This technique involves applying various blues and greens in a gradual, sweeping pattern for maximum impact.
Aquamarine Mermaid Hair
Mermaid hair can take on many forms, from colors reminiscent of sea and sky tones to an elaborate cascading rainbow effect. Here’s one that promises to dazzle: blues, greens, and purples come together beautifully for an eye-catching style.
Royal Blue
Nothing says mermaid-like sea blue locks, but don’t be intimidated to add vibrant emerald, violet, and sapphire sections that add an irresistibly mesmerizing hue!
Red
Mermaid hair has long been famous and shows no signs of abating. If you have long, lush locks, consider coloring them in a vibrant shade like purple or pink for an eye-catching mermaid-inspired look.
Emerald
Blue and green hues may be the go-to options for mermaid hair colors; however, other great possibilities are available to you. Purple and aquamarine hues make an impactful statement on their own or when paired together for maximum underwater effect.
Sea Green
If you’re still deciding whether to commit to complete bleaching, this cool shade could be just what’s needed to give you that fresh new look without fully committing to bleaching your entire head of hair. Combining light shades of blue and purple creates a stunning cascading effect that flatters warm and cool skin tones beautifully.
Rosy Pink
Rosy pink is an elegant and sophisticated take on classic pink, creating an alluring mermaid-esque aesthetic. Perfect for those who want to experiment with new hues without going overboard, it offers the opportunity to test without looking overly dramatic or daring.
Pastel Periwinkle
Mermaid hair may conjure images of an ombre technique with multiple shades; however, an experienced colorist can also preserve your natural shade up to your mid-lengths before dyeing the remaining portions in an alluring blue shade. Are you seeking to live out your princess fantasies while remaining true to adult life? Talk with your stylist about creating a periwinkle mermaid look, which offers an eye-catching variation of aquatic color trends and complements most complexions.
Teal
While green may make for an ideal mermaid color scheme, an overly verdant look may feel kitschy. Instead, break from tradition by choosing a deep and seductive teal hue that emphasizes your blonde roots. This eye-catching mermaid hair color is perfect for brunettes looking to achieve sea nymph locks. An ideal ombre shade also works beautifully on long and straight strands. Dying your locks pastel hues requires bleaching, so be sure to work with an experienced stylist and schedule regular touch-ups!
Ice Blue/Lilac
Mermaid hair color trends don’t need to be overt and flashy – you can add subtle ocean vibes by using dark green-blue dip dyeing techniques instead. This blue-to-aqua ombre shade looks incredible on a long bob with waves, giving off mermaid/unicorn vibes. Just be sure to wash your strands regularly with cool water to protect against their colors fading too rapidly. As with any semi-permanent or temporary hair dyeing technique, using a shampoo free from sulfates is vital to prolonging its effects. Touch-ups should occur every six to eight weeks to keep your look current and retain its vibrancy.
