Even if you do not have gorgeous hair, this does not mean that braids are forbidden for you. Having learned how to braid a fishtail braid , you can create light, delicate images that combine carelessness and grace.
Hair preparation for hairstyle
To make your hair look even more attractive, you can use a few tips.
To give shine to the hair during styling, use combs with natural bristles and apply foam or mousse to the curls. To prevent hair from being damaged during drying, they can be protected with a special product with thermal protection. Curls should not lose volume, so before drying, you can spray hair with a volume spray and rub it into the hair roots for several seconds, and then blow dry it with a “cold air” mode. You can also apply matte powder to your hair and massage lightly. Now your curls look more voluminous and shiny.
How to braid yourself
- Before braiding a fishtail braid , the hair must be combed on one side and divided into two parts. So that the hair does not fluff, they can be treated with styling foam.
- You need to start weaving a braid from below, almost above the ear. On the left side, take a small strand and bind it with the right half. Then take the small strand on the right and weave it with the left side of the curls.
- Continue weaving the spikelet (fish tail) to the very bottom. Fasten hair at the bottom with an elastic band.
- Gently comb the hair with light movements from top to bottom, imitating free weaving. Using your fingers, gently stretch the strands, adding volume to the hairstyle.
- Fix the elegant hairstyle with varnish for reliable fixation.
A few tips to make your hairstyle more diverse
Above have been described tips for creating hairstyles for girls with thick and long hair. But how to braid a fishtail braid if your hair is not thick enough?
- False locks are an excellent solution for creating additional volume. Artificial hair is attached with clips. To give extra volume to loose hair, usually use about 5 strands of different lengths and widths; for the braid you need only one wide strand. Lift most of the hair up and pin a strand to the bottom. Then weave the fishtail braid as usual.
- Those girls who are not afraid to be original can add a little volume with colored threads or ribbons (why not?). Separate part of the hair, and tie colored threads to the lower strands. Next, braid the braid, as is customary: ribbons will participate in weaving, like the rest of the hair. At the bottom, we fix the hair with an elastic band, hiding the colored threads.
Festive fish tail
Cascading fishtail is a festive version of the usual hairstyle, especially if it is decorated with beautiful hairpins. Start weaving the braid from the crown and continue to braid for about 7 cm. Then take the strands from the temporal part on the left and right sides, cross them with each other and continue to weave the spikelet for a few more centimeters. Repeat the crossing of the strands several times until you finish weaving.
