At first sight, this mermaid braid tutorial seems like something you would leave up to Instagram stylists.

Read on to learn how to nail this complex-looking style at home.
Mermaid Braid Tutorial
Start with clean hair.
Let’s start off with a smooth and clean base. Wash hair with Dove Nourishing Rituals Smoothing Ritual Shampoo and Conditioner to gently cleanse and prevent any unintentional frizz.
Create drop curls.
Prep hair with a heat protectant like TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray then use a curling iron to create ringlet curls all over your hair.
Create a half-up ponytail.
After creating your curls, allow your hair to cool off and set then gather the top section of your hair into a ponytail and secure with a hair tie.
Begin weaving.
Pull a section of hair out and in the next step, you’ll be weaving this into your style as if you’re threading a needle.
Loop another section.
Take another section of hair and loosely weave it into your style, and repeat the same step on the opposite side.
Secure the end.
Once you have weaved all of your loose hair into the style, secure the ends with a hair elastic.
Finish your style.
Finish the look off by setting with a hairspray like Dove Style+Care Strength and Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray.
