Perhaps it was the disappointment that the Netflix show Sirens actually had nothing to do with mermaids (and wasn't just a chicer version of H20: Just Add Water), but when it comes to hair, we're only after one type of wave right now. And that's the mermaid wave.

Just the way a certain viral curler revived the '70s Farrah Fawcett blowout a few years back, ever since this fancy new launch landed on shelves, every beauty cool-girl has been all about the type of beachy wave that's fulfilling all of our mermaid hair fantasies...

Meet the ghd Wave

What is said launch, we'll bet you're wondering? The ghd Wave ($290 at ghd), a triple barrel hair waver that gives you covetable beach waves (that genuinely last all day and don't take forever to create). In fact, the speed is one of our absolute favourite features of the Wave. With a super simple 'clamp to curl' technique all that's needed, it takes mere minutes to work through your hair, and genuinely could not be easier.

The best bit, though, is that the end result looks like one you've paid a professional good money to create. That's how we justify the price tag (which to be fair, is a complete bargain compared to other high-tech tools on the market). It's literally the price of two to three trips to the salon to secure the very same look you can create at home as many times as you want with the tool in your kit.

Because we're always determined to help you have the best hair possible, it's only right that we share that you can score a FREE (and full size) product when you add your new wave tool to cart. We want your curls to look their absolute chicest for the longest time possible, after all, and this product will enhance the tool's already impressive lasting power.

Scroll down for all the info on that. But first, a look at the stunning tool itself. With the wide plates and perfectly spaced wave-shapers, it rapidly crafts crease-free beachy waves that strike the perfect balance between 'done' and 'undone'.

And with ghd's PTC heater technology ensuring that the optimum styling temperature of 185°C is maintained across the three barrels, you can create your defined mermaid waves without a trip to the beach in winter or extreme heat damage. Ideal, really.

How to use the ghd Wave

We've already raved about how quick and easy the tool is to use, so there's not all that much you need to know in terms of how to use it. Simply grab a small to medium section of hair, lift it up, and position the ghd Wave over the piece of hair before clamping down to set the wave.

Continue down your hair depending on length and where you want your waves placed. For instance, while Dove Cameron added a few mermaid waves to an otherwise straight look, Dixie D'Amelio started higher and kept the waves consistent across all sections.

Whichever way you choose to wield your new fave tool, an envy-inducing mermaid mane is guaranteed. Your next move is crystal clear: grab your ghd Wave for $290 at ghd right now to have your wave tool and a free curl hold spray on their way to you in no time...
