How to weave a fish tail?

The braid can be different, there are a lot of options for weaving it, and each of them can be turned into a delightful hairstyle. You can learn how to braid the fishtail yourself if you study the pattern and practice a little.

Of the simplest weaving options, "fishtail" is considered the most demanded. Even he has several options for execution, thanks to this, you can fit such a braid into any created image.

The hairstyle is organically combined not only with everyday clothes, but also looks great on the red carpet. Fashion brands love to use this kind of weaving in photo shoots. Many popular stars of domestic film distribution and foreign pop singers choose the "fish tail" as the main decoration of their image.

In the classic version, this is not a French braid, so it should not start at the forehead line. The modern version involves weaving on the side, according to the technique, creating such a hairstyle does not differ from the usual "fish tail". Sometimes the hair is first tied with an elastic band in a ponytail. This is done by girls who are just gaining experience, since the hair remains fixed and it becomes easier to weave.

Using a spray bottle with water allows you to make the braid even, without strands knocking out. When the curls are clean, they frizzy and fall apart easily, so sometimes they don't even purposely wash their hair for a few days before creating a hairstyle.

"Fishtail" is not quite a spikelet, although their weaving looks similar. It is appreciated by craftsmen for its attractive appearance, ease of execution, the ability to combine with other elements, for example, a tail or loose hair.When the "fishtail" is finished, it remains mobile, pliable, so you can later lay it with hairpins or invisible pins. If there is not enough volume, you can add it by slightly pulling the curls out of the braid.

But despite the huge number of advantages, a beginner will not be able to braid this pigtail on his own, since his hands get very tired. The beginning of such a braid can be different, some make it from the tail, others from the side of the temple or from the forehead all over the head. They always start to weave with three strands, only after that they switch to the "fish tail".

You can make a "fishtail" only on long or medium-length curls. If the haircut involves several levels, the first ones will be knocked out, which you can use to your advantage. They are usually wrapped in large curls and laid separately.

Depending on the type of hair, special requirements are imposed on the hairstyle. On straight hair, you can braid any of the "fishtail" options, if there is not enough volume, use a corrugation or slightly curl the hair before braiding with a curling iron. But for girls who naturally curl curls, it is better to straighten them with an iron, otherwise it will be difficult to make an even braid without strands that come out.

If you study the process and patterns of weaving in stages, then after a few workouts a girl can easily make any of the options proposed by the modern fashion industry.

The “fishy” or “pike” tail, on the contrary, is a very interesting hairstyle that is easy to learn on your own. Modern fashion looks back into the past, so it returns to the tucked-away curls, and among the possible options for weaving braids, it is this one, made inside out, that allows you to create an unusual image. The considered weaving outward was in great demand among the Slavs. In stages, the process of weaving from the forehead is as follows.

• They begin to weave the braid, on the contrary, by separating two strands at the forehead line.
• From the inner edge on the right, a thin curl is disconnected and diagonally directed to the left side behind the bundle of hair on the left.
• The same process is repeated on the left side, that is, a thin strand is separated from the left inner half of the hair, carried over the curls on the right and connected to free-lying hair.
• The process is repeated until the very moment when it is decided to tie the remaining hair with an elastic band.

All strands should be symmetrical, even, so you may need a spray bottle with water and a comb. There are several options for how you could make a pigtail in this design:

• snake;
• with two braids;
• on the side.

The classic version is also woven from the beginning of the forehead, but it looks best when they begin to weave from the middle. The step-by-step instructions on how to create a classic weave are very short, since it is simple if you understand the essence.

• All hair must be divided equally into the right and left halves.
• Weaving begins from either side, this is not fundamentally important and does not affect the final result in any way.
• They take the extreme thin strand on the left, which is behind the ear, and cross the rest of the shock diagonally and take it under the curls located on the right. The same process is repeated on the reverse side.

The movements are repeated until the braid is completely finished.

One of the most voluminous options is side weaving, which can be done independently. If we talk about the versatility of modern hairstyles, then this is exactly the option that is needed. Such weaving can be supplemented at will, you can use accessories, weave ribbons. The easiest way is to weave one braid, more difficult two, which are then connected together. In the second case, skill and experience are required, since the most difficult thing is to make a smooth transition.

Such a hairstyle acquires special charm in the summer, when girls try to remove their hair, but do not want to sacrifice beauty.

This hairstyle option can rightfully be called universal, since there are a huge number of possible transformation options. Some masters prefer to weave only one "fishtail", others use two of them in the design of their hairstyles, then join them to the middle into a single design.

In any case, the "fishtail" will be an ideal solution for a daily walk, a date. The execution technique is as follows:

• first you need to collect a low tail on either side so that it covers the ear;
• after fastening the hair with an elastic band, they are divided into two parts;
• in turn, first on the left, then on the right, they are taken in a lock and transferred to the opposite hand over the rest of the hair;
• the actions are repeated until the hair runs out, then they are fixed with an elastic band, and the weaving itself is fixed with varnish.

This is one of the simpler options and can be made a little more voluminous by gently pulling the hair out of the braid.

You can braid the fishtail from the temporal region to the opposite ear by pulling the braid down around the neck. To do this, they begin to divide the hair from one side above the ear, preferably higher, since the head should be visually divided into two halves, but horizontally. The weaving technique remains the same.

• Holding the two parts of the hair in your hands, first, on the right side, a small curl is wound from above and lies in the left hand.
• The same action is repeated on the right side.

This option is considered one of the most difficult, as it requires long training. First, it will take time to put the hair in order and remove all existing knots, then divide it into two halves along a straight parting. One part of the hair is temporarily tied with an elastic band, since two braids will have to be braided.

The technique remains classic, not for the reverse fishtail. The braids are braided to the end, then the strands are slightly pulled out to make the hairstyle look a little sloppy. One pigtail is twisted into a ring on the head and secured with hairpins. The other braid is thrown onto the opposite shoulder and is also fixed in a comfortable position.

Girls who have gorgeous thick hair should definitely do fishtail braiding from the top of the head, as it looks incredible. You can simply braid the braid to the middle of the length and fix it with an elastic band, it will turn out very unusual.

They begin to weave with curls located at the line of the beginning of the forehead. If the volume of your own hair is not enough, then it is worth combing a little, then the desired effect will be achieved.

• The hair along the entire forehead line and up to the crown is visually divided into two halves, but the first strands should not be taken too far, because then it will not turn out quite what you want.
• Several weaves are made in the center of the forehead. The technique remains the same as that used in the classic version, that is, a large strand on the right lies in the left hand and connects with the hair in it. The action is repeated on the other side.
• Then gradually they grab the curls located along the forehead to the ear, then behind it. In this case, the braid is braided to the middle, the rest of the hair can be left lying free, or you can twist it into the muzzle.

Not so long ago, braiding around the head became especially popular, and there were several reasons for this. It looks great both as a daily hairstyle and for a festive occasion, just add a few accessories.

Unusual, but very attractive will look "fishtail" all over the head with additional volume, although this hairstyle takes a lot of time. Weaving starts from the temple and moves not over the forehead, but along the occipital region. When the braid is completely braided, a wreath forms around the head, the end of which is fixed with an elastic band and hides under the hair. Real professionals have learned how to make zigzags and snails on the head, but this should be learned.

If a girl is just comprehending the science of weaving braids, then it is worth trying the simplest option:

• use the technique of weaving braids to the side, starting from the ear;
• take invisible hairpins or hairpins and use them as supporting elements with which you can raise the braid and lay it around the head;
• the only drawback of this option is the length limitation, that is, the girl must have impressive braids in order to completely cover her head.

If a girl already has very voluminous hair, especially African-American women or women with curly curls, then the extra volume is completely unnecessary. In this case, the girls strive, on the contrary, to tighten the braids as much as possible so that they look organic and combine with the image. A tight braid is one of those remedies that can help without the use of fixing compounds.

When weaving a tight fishtail, the technique will be slightly different. First you need to comb your hair thoroughly, then divide it into three sections. A standard pigtail is weaved from each, while the one that will be located in the center should start a few centimeters lower.

From the resulting braids, weave a braid again using the classical method. As a result, the base of the resulting hairstyle resembles a semicircle. This kind of weaving is ideal for girls with thick wavy hair.

A well-tied hairstyle using two fish tails is a great option for girls with long hair. In the finished version, it seems as if the strands are knocked out around the bundle in a specially selected sequence. The instructions for creating are as follows.

• Hair is well combed and collected in a high ponytail. The resulting bundle is divided into two halves, from each weaving is created according to the classical scheme. The ends are tied with an elastic band.
• If a girl has a lot of hair, then you can make not two, but three braids, then the bun will look even more attractive.
• At the next stage, each braid will need to be slightly loosened by pulling the curls from the weave.
• The first braid should wrap around the elastic. Invisibles can be used as fastening elements.
• The second pigtail is laid in the opposite direction and is also fixed.

The design experts give their advice on how to what else is worth considering when using the braid in question as an option for a hairstyle.

• It is worth remembering that the farther the curls are when weaving this braid, the wider the "fish tail" turns out.
• If a girl weaves a braid on her own, then you will need to have several mirrors at hand, which will need to be positioned around so that you can see every action.
• If the curls are very naughty, you can use a small amount of styling product or simply sprinkle the curls with water from a spray bottle.
• You can try a modern style by pulling your hair to the left or right side and braiding it very low.

• In the process of self-weaving, you will need to be patient, because the first few times your hands will become very numb.
• If you have a lot of experience in creating such weaving, you can safely experiment and even create your own images that are different from others.
• The learning process will take a little time before the fingers begin to move correctly. It is worth the first time to sit in front of the mirror and relax. They begin to act slowly and in case you forget a step, so you can always start weaving again.
• A fishtail braid looks great on long, medium hair, and tiered haircuts.
• If your hair is too soft and manageable, you can try combing it lightly to give it more density.

Voluminous braids also have their secrets, and most experts are happy to share them.

• First of all, you need to start pulling the pigtails apart. The Dutch braid and the Dutch fishtail are ideal for creating volume using this particular technique. You just need to pull the curls in different directions to make them wider.
• If you want to achieve an even better effect, then you should use a corrugation, due to which the hair becomes very fluffy.

If a girl is looking for a chic new look, then she simply has to try one of the hairstyle options offered by the fishtail. While most hairstyles can look complicated with it, in reality it turns out that everything is much simpler, and it is not that difficult to recreate the braiding. Fishtail can look romantic, sexy and a little funny. These braids can be wrapped around the head or made into a crown, they look very nice in the ponytail, and are versatile and can be adapted to suit any style.

In an ordinary braid, three curls are used, but in this case only two, hence the unique relief. The basic idea is to use the strands from the outside and tuck them into the inside of the other part.

You can feel like a princess if you just make a big braid, which you can then decorate with flowers. They start creating a hairstyle from the temple and move across the entire forehead, then behind the ear and up to the neck.

The Dutch fishtail looks very modern.When creating it from the front, the hair is gathered into a ponytail to the crown, while leaving several free strands behind the ears on both sides. After that, the braid is woven according to the classical pattern, and the strands left are gradually interwoven. The approximate length of weaving is 8 centimeters, then they put on an elastic band. Loose curls remain under the braid. This hairstyle looks great on medium lengths.

You can't find a more interesting option than the winding "fishtail" that starts from the temples. First, the girl needs to take the temporal curls and twist them around her own axis, then tie an elastic band on the back of her head and turn the resulting tail through the hole located to the elastic at the junction between these two halves. Then the process is repeated, only take the two strands below and tie them back together, turning them inside out. From the remaining loosely hanging hair, the classic version of the "fishtail" is weaved.

You can make an unusual version of side weaving, in which all hair will need to be combed to one side. They begin to weave from the center of the forehead, using the classic pattern, only the strands should be very thin. In the area of ​​the shoulders, the direction of the weaving changes, thus an incredible effect is obtained.

If you have experience, you can try to weave the braid in the opposite direction, that is, not from the forehead, but from the back of the head. The technique is no different, only the girl will need to bend forward to be more comfortable. When the braiding reaches the crown, the rest of the hair is tied up with an elastic band, forming a very interesting ponytail.

Stunning hairstyles are obtained by using multiple braids, which are then used in different ways. For example, you can divide your head diagonally into three parts. The first, which occupies the area around the forehead, braid into a "fishtail", the second and third - only up to half, leaving the hair loose, but securing it with an elastic band and winding it at the ends. From a fully woven braid, a flower is formed on the side, which covers the locations of the rubber bands.

The sports version looks good, in which the described weaving is used instead of African braids. In this case, several braids are weaved parallel to each other from the forehead line to the back of the head.

In any of the proposed options, you can use ribbons of various thicknesses, the color and position of which will depend on whether a girl creates a romantic hairstyle or a more athletic one.

It is possible to make a braid of a very large volume only on hair of the same length, because if at the final stage you start pulling the curls, then they will not be knocked out of the weave. Additionally, they are ironed along the entire length to create a corrugated structure, which will also add volume as a result.

Professionals do not use fingers for weaving, but metal or bamboo sticks with pointed ends, since this is akin to knitting a sweater - the thicker the knitting needle, the more voluminous the weaving turns out. In this case, a parallel can be drawn.

Hair is intertwined in large curls according to the classic pattern. Each curl should lie freely, the elastic is tightened only at the end. After the strands are gently pulled with the same sticks, creating the required volume on the hair. A fixing agent is used to consolidate the effect.

Of all the types of braids, the double "fishtail" can be considered one of the most difficult, but this is also its appeal. For braiding, you will need a comb, elastic band, several hairpins and hairspray.

It is almost impossible to do such a hairstyle on your own, but then it is quite possible to please your daughter if you delve into the process in more detail.

Step by step, this hairstyle is done as follows.

• You will need to wash your hair thoroughly to keep it fresh and attractive.Some masters prefer to create hairstyles for a dirty head, claiming that in this case the braiding lies better, and the curls are more pliable, but it can turn out carelessly.
• Hair is well dried and combed until all knots are removed.
• Divide the hair into two parts using a comb, but not vertically, but horizontally.
• The weaving of the "fish tail" is started. If the girl is a beginner, then it is better to take a small lock of hair on the right, shift it from the top to the left, then do the same on the other side. Weaving is carried out to the end.
• Fix the ends with elastic bands with flowers that match your hair color so that they do not stand out or take away the attention from the hairstyle.
• Using hairpins, put one braid on top of another and fasten it together. In this case, it is desirable that the top be thinner than the bottom.
