If there’s one hair trend that we’ve all been loving for years now, it has got to be the pastel hair trend. If you’ve got pink hair, purple hair, blue hair and so on, then you are instantly cooler then cool, chicer than chic and oh so sassy. And you know it.

It seems like we’ve all gone hair colour crazy. And for a very good reason. Pastel hair is just so fun!

But it doesn’t have to stop there. If you’ve tried every colour and still need more, have you tried every colour, all at once? Maybe you’re new to pastel hair and are ready to go all out? Either way…

Say Hello to yourself as none other than a mermaid.

But where you do start? If you’re like me, then you’ll be heading all over the internet, from Instagram to Pinterest, and magazines, hunting for inspiration. Yet, you already know you want to be a mermaid, so how is it going happen?

Let’s talk dye.

If you’re new to playing around with colours when it comes to your hair, you might like to keep it calm with pastels and stick to just two shades to try it out. Just like when you have your hair coloured in the salon, you can opt for dip-dye, bayalage or even simple highlights when it comes to your mermaid hair. I love the blue to green dip-dyes. What could be more mermaid-esque?

Or if you’re really ready, go for it. Pick your your paints and get creative. Redken do the coolest colours that are easy to apply and are temporary, just in case you mess up. Choose from Purple, Pink, Coral, Red or even Glitter Gold for your mermaid hair. I don’t know about you, but these seem perfect for parties, holidays and more!

But if you’re not than keen on going to out there, so permanent (no matter how temporary it’s supposed to be), you do have other options!

You know all about Hairtrade’s Hair Extensions, but do you know about the fun stuff? Because if you’re not keen on permanent colour just yet, you can always give it a try. There are a huge range of wigs to try, but if you’re wanting something short and sweet, the Sugar Wig is a must have – especially with festival season in full swing!

Or, if you’re in need of a few little colour pops, you can always turn to Highlight Single Piece clip-in extensions. Not only can you switch it up and choose the colours you want, but you can alternate and change between different looks each day. If that’s not summer ready, I don’t know what is!

Now that you know your options, all that’s left to do is dive in head first. You’ll be sassin’ like Ariel in no time at all.
