Crochet Amigurumi Mermaid - WIP (Work In Progress)!

I'm crocheting a mermaid! How cool is that! My niece is a big mermaid fan. She even has a real swimming tail in order to properly glide through the water just like a real mermaid would! 

I used the mermaid crochet pattern of this designer. I adapted the hair, because I wanted the mermaid to have long flowing multicolored hair. Boy, was thát a mistake! My goodness, the hair was so much work! And it takes up so much yarn! I struggled quite a bit with determining how much hair to put on etc.
