Top 37+ Inspired Mermaid Hair Extensions and Hairstyles (2024)

Summer is already here, and everybody is thinking about the perfect summer hairstyle. If you want to stand out at the beach, you should take a look at these amazing mermaid-inspired hairstyles that are just perfect for the summer.

Mermaids are mythical aquatic creatures that are famous for their long, luscious hair, so it’s no wonder many girls take inspiration from them to create gorgeous hairstyles. Since mermaid’s hair is not specifically defined, there are a lot of variations you can consider. Natural blonde or brown hair with accessories from the sea, blue, green, or turquoise hair, rainbow-colored hair, braided hair, and many others.

The most important thing about mermaid-inspired hair is that it should be pretty long; the longer – the better. That is where hair extensions come in; most girls don’t have extra long hair, so they use extensions to add length to their hair. You can also play around with different colored extensions to get that rainbow-colored hair.

Simple Mermaid Hair

The most basic thing you can do to have mermaid-inspired hair is to simply add some cool accessories like these starfish to your natural brown or blonde hair.

Combine that natural-looking blonde color with accessories, and you have your simple mermaid beach hairstyle.
