How to Take the Perfect Mermaid Shot

You know the one, sexy people do it all the time in movies, music videos, and in our dreams. Some tight swim-wear wearing human flips their hair all sexily around after emerging from a body of water. Admit it, you’ve always wanted to be that person.

Or their friend at least.

Well now you can! With our patented technique (not actually patented), you can be the hottest version of yourself. All you have to do is follow the below steps. Oh, and don’t make a dumbass face.

1) Be careful or cover your phone in a LifeProof case!

2) Turn your settings to video: you’re going to record the water flip in action.

3) Frame up before you hit record: get the person to stand in the middle of your camera.

4) Dip it: push all your hair forward and dip your hair in the water up to your forehead.

5) Count down: hit record on your camera, count to three and have the person flip their head back. Stop the video after they’ve flipped all the way back.

6) Scroll through: open the video and drag the bar through your video to see it frame-by-frame. Pick the best frame and screen cap it. Nice! Now you are a sexy mermaid!
