- Hi everyone, welcome to the channel.
Today, I'm gonna be showing you
my perfect Valentine's Day style,
which is these gorgeous mermaid curls.
I absolutely love this style,
and it'll be perfect
for whatever you're doing this Valentine's Day,
whether you're going out on a dinner date,
or whether you're just havin' a night with your girlfriends,
this is gonna be perfect.
So stay tuned, and I'll show you how it's done.
All you're gonna need
for these really pristine mermaid waves
are your Milk + Blush hair extensions.
I've got my classic set in today,
in the length 16 to 18, and they're in the shade Slayer,
as always, because it's just the perfect shade for me.
And then you're just gonna need your curling wand,
ideally one that's chunkier at the bottom
and then skinnier at the top
because this will give you really, really nice
natural curls just like a mermaid would have,
so let's get started.
So this hairstyle is so, so straightforward.
All I'm gonna do is start off by sectioning my hair.
I'm going to section it off in about four sections,
that works for me, but obviously it depends
on how thick your hair is.
I'm just gonna brush my hair out as I go through
just to make sure there are no tangles
because I do have a wave in my extensions
from the last time I wore them.
And then you're gonna take quite small sections,
about an inch, inch and a half,
and on the first one,
you're going to curl away from your face.
Hold that for about five or six seconds.
And you just let that cool slightly,
and just let it drop.
You've probably noticed that I left some hair out
at the end.
This just makes a little bit more natural looking
and you keep the nice length as well.
Doesn't look too curly.
And then on the second one,
instead of curling away from my face,
I'm gonna curl towards, and this will stop the curls
being really uniform
because we want that messy, beachy look.
And again, hold that for about five or six seconds,
leaving the end out as well.
Also, alternating the way you curl your hair,
so backwards and forwards,
will give you lots of really really nice volume as well.
So you're just gonna carry on that process
all the way through your hair.

Once you've curled all of your hair
and the curls are cool,
you can go ahead and just start breaking up these curls
just like that.
Just kind of running your fingers through them.
This takes a little bit of time just to
get it looking really, really mermaidy,
but it looks so good when it's done.
And I'm just gonna put a little bit of volume
in my roots over here,
so I'm just gonna backcomb underneath.
And there you have it.
Those are you perfect mermaid waves.
Such a cute style for Valentine's Day.
You could dress this up with a really, really nice dress,
or you could dress it down
if you're going for like a cinema date
or something like that.
I absolutely love this style,
and the thing I like about it as well
is that it doesn't have to be perfect, which is brilliant.
