You can make a fishtail inside out yourself. The main thing is to stock up on the necessary styling products and follow the instructions step by step. When planning such a hairstyle, pay attention to the following guidelines.
- Braids can be done on both short and medium hair. The optimal length of the head of hair is up to the shoulders.
- An inverted fishtail is perfect for women with an oval face shape. However, ladies with different proportions should not be upset. In this case, the main thing is to correctly do the styling and hide all the flaws with the help of bangs.
- To give the proper volume in the "tail", you can weave "unnatural" strands (even multi-colored are suitable) /
- The French braid can be decorated with fashionable hairpins and rhinestones.

- A stunning French weave looks on hair with highlighted strands.
- Owners of curly hair need to straighten their hair to create a braid in order to avoid a too embossed "tail". In addition, the "tails" of wavy hair will not be thick enough and run the risk of looking ridiculous.

Useful Tips
In order for the reverse fishtail to be beautiful, voluminous and fashionable, pay attention to the following guidelines:
- before braiding, the hair must be thoroughly combed (a brush with natural bristles is perfect);
- naughty hair can be slightly moistened using a hairdressing spray;
- in the process of the first self-creation of a fish tail, for convenience, use a tricuspid mirror or place two mirrors opposite each other;
- Prepare a crab hair clip in advance to fix the strands if you need to distract yourself during the weaving process.

Weaving patterns
In the modern beauty industry, there are many options for how to make a fishtail inside out: two parallel braids, a “snake” tail, a French braid, combined and on one side, and even a braided “crown”. It remains only to creatively approach the process and "turn on" all your imagination. To create a classic braid in French "vice versa" we take:
- a comb or medium brush;
- hair clip;
- thin elastic band;
- fixing varnish or gel.

We carefully comb the clean hair and divide it into three equal strands (of the same size). We take the "left" strand and remove it under the "central" one, then remove the right curl under it by analogy. We make hooks on both sides of the temples and weave them into the main braid. Thus, we "lead" the braid to the very ends of the hair. In the final stage, fix the braided ponytail with an elastic band and cover the hairstyle with hairspray.
In order for the fish tail to turn out to be more voluminous and fluffy, pull out individual strands a little.

Another original and uncommon hairstyle that can be done at home is an inverted French braid to one side. To create it, we need:
- thin comb;
- a hairpin decorated with decorative stones or satin ribbon;
- special foam and varnish for fixing.

Carefully comb the hair and rub the foam into them (for better fixation). We take a volumetric strand from the right and left temporal parts and divide it into 3 equal parts. We proceed to vertical weaving by analogy with the first instruction (see above), not forgetting to make grabs from the temples. We braid the braid “up to the ear” and fix the tip of the “tail” using a beautiful hairpin or satin ribbon. We generously varnish the entire head to fix it.
A similar hairstyle can be decorated with rhinestones, securing them on the sides of the braid.

Attending special events means creating an original and stylish hairstyle. For this case, you can create a real masterpiece from a French braid inside out. For example, weaving in the shape of a "crown". This chic hairstyle is suitable even for a bride - it is so gentle and at the same time looks spectacular. So let's get started.
- We take a brush and carefully comb the hair and treat it with an antistatic agent. Separate the "top" of the hair (the center of the hairstyle should be located at the top of the head).
- We collect the hair in a ponytail and secure with a thin elastic band. We visually divide the lower strand into two parts and fix it with a clamp (these strands will be useful to us at the very end of creating a hairstyle).
- Divide the top layer into 6 parts and start weaving the reverse fishtail. On the third branch, carefully weave one strand from the bottom layer into the braid. After this curl is fixed in the common braid, we weave another lower strand. Thus, the braiding should "go" around the elastic at the top of the head.

- At the final stage, we fix the ends of the resulting "crown" with invisible hairpins (miniature hairpins) and abundantly cover it with varnish.
- To give the proper volume, we “pull out” individual strands with our hands.
- The resulting "crown" of braids can be decorated with pretty flowers or lace. Very nice and elegant!
