Follow this step-by-step guide to get gorgeous mermaid-inspired hair.

1. Brush hair smooth, then tie a low side pony using a clear elastic. Split into two sections.

2. Take a small piece of hair from the outside of one of the two sections (around one centimetre thick or less). Take it across and add to the other section by tucking underneath. 

3. Then, take a piece from the other section and pass it across and under to join the previous section. Continue to do this with new pieces of hair all the way down and you’ll soon see the fishtail forming.

4. At the end, tie off with a clear elastic and then carefully snip off the top elastic you started with using scissors. Seal with hairspray and you’re sorted!
