The Hair Studio- Practical Week 3/4- Fishtail Plaits


This week, we were also taught how to create a Fishtail Plait, this is an alternative to the French Plait and can look very chic and modern.  You can create a neat up-do with this style, as well as a messy look, with lots of natural texture. Here are the steps to create the perfect Fishtail Plait:

1.  Start off the styling with brushing through the hair, this will remove any tangles and allow you to create your fishtail plait much more effectively.  Put the hair into a ponytail with a clear elastic, at the back of the head or the side will do.

2.  Split the ponytail into two equal sections, take a small piece of hair from the first section and add it to the second. You then take a piece of hair from the second side, and pass it back to the first. Always make sure you are taking hair from the underneath of the section. 

3.  Keep on repeating these steps, don’t worry if it doesn’t look like a fishtail at first or if you feels like it’s taking a long time to come together, creating a fishtail plait can be very time consuming! 

4.  Once you have finished plaiting the entire hair, secure will a small elastic, try using one the same colour as your sitter’s hair or alternatively clear is fine.

5.  Remove the elastic at the top of you wish, you can also give the braid some texture by gently loosening the sides. Finally, set with hairspray!
