MAKO MERMAIDS Hairstyles Tutorial | Sirena's Braids

yes it's Jackie and for today's tutorial I have some mermaid hairstyles perfect for summer all of these looks are inspired by the Netflix show Mako mermaids if you guys haven't seen it it's about a group of mermaids and a very handsome ER man and the girls have the best hairstyles there is so much a hair inspiration I say from the show so if you like this video and you want another make a mermaid hairstyle video definitely let me know in the comments down below also make sure to give this video a thumbs up if you like my hairstyle videos and let's get started this first hairstyle is inspired by Serena's updo I'm starting with air dried hair and I'm just brushing through to get rid of tangles I'm adding a shine spray by OGX this one is my favorite and it really looks like a mermaid Lake product so I love it and then I'm just brushing through one more time of course I got some rings inspired by the girls and mood rings and this first step to getting this hairstyle is to section off two front pieces of hair from around your face brush the remaining hair backwards and divide this section into two bring one section over to the front and let's start braiding pick up a section divide this into three and we're going to French braid but only add in sections of hair from the bottom section so it's really a lace braid when you're only bringing in sections from one side add in small pieces along your neckline and once you're past where the hair is laying against your head do a couple more strokes of French braid making sure to add in hair from the nape of your neck until you have all the hair included in the braid from one side then braid normally down and expand the braid slightly so it stands out more in the hair in Serena's original style it didn't look pulled out but with darker hair it's harder to see all the details so spreading the braid apart for more volume is a step I like to take pull up the braid and begin to pin it in place at the back of your head now just repeat the same steps on the other side again lace braid bringing in small sections of hair from the underside into the braid finish the braid normally spread apart the braid slightly and then pin to the back once you have the two braids cross over each other it just circle them around into a bun like shape and keep on pinning with that front section I'm going to use a small barrel and make little curls and then I'm going to place them over to the back of my hair so that they fall over the braided hairstyle try to hide the bobby pins as best as you can when you're doing this part and then when you have a large section still up the front we're going to curl this whole piece and then create some pretty texture so I'm just brushing it out twisting it a little bit and creating a little side portion going into the hairstyle I did this for some pretty texture instead of her front bangs because I don't have them they look great if you have bangs you can leave them out and I think it looks really nice but with me I'm just curling and pinning back for a pretty unique look here is the completed hairstyle without accessories I think it's really cool and kind of bohemian and here it is with a bunch of seashells I just added these seashells I got from Michael's on two clips and then stuck them in my hair and I think it looks really cool and mermaid-like next hairstyle is the mermaid side braid to get Serena's a curly texture I'm using a small wand and wrapping around the bottom section of my hair for some cute curls I love curling my hair like this because it's pretty quick and easy I just curled the bottom pieces and then add a couple small curls up top for more volume and once this is complete you're going to take a small section from the front like we did last time and divide this into two pieces horizontally now we are going to create another small lace French braid just like last time as you braid you're going to take in a little section from just one side so this time we're taking a piece of hair from directly behind the braid and we're doing this for about ten stitches and once you have a little section that is connected to your head then just braid down normally blink before I'm expanding the braid at the top mostly but you want to do this very gently and only a little bit because with smaller braids it's easier to get flyaways and a messy look which I'm not really going for today so I'm just you know very gently loosening up the braid with the section it directly under again divided into three and this time we're just braiding normally starting at the top of the ear I like to have a little non braided section before this braid because I think it really makes it the front braid pop while you twist your hair into a loop use a high hold hairspray as you go so the braid sticks to itself if you don't do this without hairspray it'll be really hard to get all the way to the top of your head without the little circle coming apart once you're at the top of the braid flip upwards and then pin in place try to hide the bobby pins as best as you can and there's the first little seashell same steps on the top one swirl into a circle while stopping the hairspray and pin into the same seashell shape optional but again I went crazy with the seashells for decoration I think this one turned out so cute and we still one more simple hairstyle so keep on watching and make sure to let me know which hairstyle is your favorite this last hairstyle is the easiest I'm calling it the c-suite back I have second day curls and I'm creating a center part halfway then I'm just combing my hair backwards so that part doesn't trail off section off at two pieces surrounding your face take two small pieces within and twist them around each other I'm twisting going backwards away from my face and just add a section from your hairline as you go this is a lace twist so it's like what we did with the braids but you only have two pieces and you're twisting around each other keep grabbing a small section to add all along the hairline even as you get down to the neck listen up the twist for a pretty ocean wave-like detail take the two ends of the twist and gather them in a small elastic taking that little pony left over and I did add a little bit of hair under so that the bun would be a bit bigger twist into a loose little bun and just pin in place of course I added some more seashells and there you have it I love Serena's sweet character and beautiful voice if you want me to do another mermaid let me know
