Steps for braiding a fishtail braid

Prepare

Comb: A comb helps to detangle your hair before braiding. You should use a wide-toothed comb to avoid causing hair breakage.

Hair Tie: Prepare one or more hair ties to hold your hair in place and prevent the braid from unraveling. For securing the end of the braid, small, clear hair ties are best. These are almost invisible, giving the impression that the fishtail braids are holding themselves together.

Bobby pins: These small pins hold intricate braids very well and are virtually invisible in the hair.

Hairspray: Finishing with hairspray ensures your fishtail braid will hold its shape all day long.

Once you have all the necessary tools, you can start braiding your hair in the following way.

Braid your own fishtail braid (high type)

Step 1: Create a section depending on how you want to braid it later. For example, you can start braiding from the shoulder down. This is the first step in creating a fishtail braid.

Step 2: Loosely tie your hair with a hair tie.

Step 3: Use your fingers to divide the hair into two main sections of equal size and hold each section with one hand.

Step 4: Now, take a thin strand from the outside of the left main section and bring it inside the right main section. The narrower the split strands, the more delicate the fishtail braid will look. However, for consistent results, the strands should always be the same width.

Step 5: Repeat the process on the other side: Take a thin thread from the outside of the right main section and thread it inside the left main section.

Step 6: Continue in this manner, and your fishtail braid will gradually become visible. Make sure you braid as far as possible so that the pattern is clearly visible.

Step 7: Secure the end of the braid with a clear hair tie and carefully remove the hair tie you made at the beginning. To finish, gently pull the braid to the sides with your hands.
