The brown is visible in the roots and on one side where there’s an undercut. It’s an edgy style that still has the mermaid vibe to it, so it suits a unique personality wonderfully. This hair is a blend of a vivid turquoise and a natural brown.

 

How many of these styles did you fall in love with? It’s easy to fall in love with all 20, but you have to pick just a few to try out over the next few months or years.

Your hair can only handle so much dye, so you really have to be sure about the mermaid hair color you want. You’ll also need to work hard to maintain this hair and keep it vibrant with no roots showing.
