Paisley has been on a The Little Mermaid kick lately, watching the movie over and over again. Have you ever wondered if you saw a Mermaid, what would her hair look like? Today, Kamri and I give you one of our interpretations using the Half Mermaid Braid we showed you last year, and adding in a Feather Braid accent to make a stunning hairstyle! We are calling it the Mermaid Braid Combo.
To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHMermaidBraidCombo
Since we’ve shown you how to make Mermaid Braid before, pay particular attention to how and when we created the Feather Braid Accent. After beginning with a few simple braid stitches, You simply feather off three strands on each side and then bring them back in as you braid down. Then, by pancaking the feathered stands, you are left with this cute circle accent to your Mermaid Braid!
What I love about this hairstyle is how much creative stranding and hair delineation is going on. It is something you don’t see every day and certain to get you compliments! If you were to add a base of soft curls or waves, this would look even more stunning {although I would add them after you braid}!
Since this is a mermaid hairstyle, Kamri did agree to put on her mermaid tail for these photos! Don’t you think she looks stunning?
