Vivid Hair Specialist and stylist at The Wolf & The Hair Salon in Centerville, OH, Stephanie Walker shares how she created this mermaidcore hair look that’s sending off fireworks! 

  1. Lighten with Wella Blondor, Olaplex in everything and pretone with Olaplex Purple Shampoo.
  2. Then, use Pulp Riot Speed Toners in Icy/Moonstone. 
  3. Dry the hair, mix and apply mermaid colors. Walker used aquatic/clear for the route melted into sea glass/decoy and mercury.
  4. To finish, style the hair and add glitter!
