The contest has ended, and prize awarded. Our Waterfall Twists into Mermaid Braid {} did so well back in May 2013, that we decided go for another mermaid braid look today!
This one is a half-up-half-down hairstyle with gorgeous definition in its stranding! A Mermaid Braid works just the same as a Lace Braid, however you are adding strands in on "both" sides of the braid, instead of just one. {You can think of it as an extremely fine stranded, but loose French Braid.}
I wouldn't recommend this style for anyone being very "active" throughout the day, such as PE, dance, or other athletics. This would be worn more for casual wear. Trust us, we have tried!

You can carry the mermaid stranding all the way down the braid, if you would like, but we stopped half way because we loved the look! It is just a matter of personal preference.
Kamri has worn this Mermaid Half Braid a few times over the past several months, and her friends absolutely love it! She even said that a few boys commented on it, which is a huge shocker coming from boys her age!
