Are you still trying to master that perfect pout for your next selfie? If yes, you clearly need to catch up with times. The selfie has made way for the mermaid hair flick, which happens to be the latest social media craze. The best part, you don't need fins to attempt it.
More about the trend
Captioning their photos with the hashtag #mermaidhairflick, women across Australia have started the bizzare trend, which sees them dipping their head in the water and quickly flicking their hair back behind them, creating a rainbow of water. The move generates an impressive display of saltwater and makes for a pretty Instagram shot. The Mermaid Society, which is dedicated to providing information, news and interviews for girls of the sea, appear to have started the new craze, after asking women around Australia to post their best mermaid hair flick pictures to Instagram, showcasing the water as creatively as possible. The winner of the competition was Kirra Innes, who posted a breathtaking mermaid hair flick shot, showing Lake Wooloweyah glimmering in front of an orange sunset. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen recently attempted the mermaid hair flick and shared a sunset snap from a breathtaking tropical paradise where she attempted it. She captioned her photo, "One with nature. #natureisamazing #blessed #grateful". Apart from Gisele, reality television star Kim Kardashian also posted a video of her best mermaid hair flick to her social media account in April. The star is dipping her hair in the water and whipping it back in slow motion, creating a wave of water in her trail.
