Tricks Of Fishtail Braid Hairstyles
A fishtail braid has an inverted pattern that is actually very simple to weave. Instead of 3 sections of hair you are working with only 2. The main principle is taking a strand of hair from the outside of one section and bringing it to the inside of the other section. Although the scheme itself is rather uncomplicated, you can link up your creativity and come up with some truly breathtaking braided looks. Here are a couple of braiding tips which may be handy.
Looser and more relaxed fishtails look more interesting and stylish than tight and uniform braids. When weaving a fishtail for a more distinct and elaborate look, you may vary the size of strands, like 1-inch section, 3-inch section, 2-inch section and all over again.
For a side fishtail you should make a low side pony first, securing your hair with an elastic that can be removed afterwards.
If your hair is not very thick, you can gain thickness, adding some texture with a curling iron and further backcombing, for instance.
Messy braided looks are currently extremely popular. You can either try to stretch your braid apart with your fingers to make it look looser or pull out occasional strands, which works great with layered haircuts.
Anyway, if you have never tried weaving a fishtail, just take a minute to practice. And look what fantastic dos you may create on its base.
