How to Dress Up Your Fishtail Braid
3 Smart Dress Up Fishtail Braid Strategies
If you’re reading this, I would assume that you already know what a
fishtail braid is. It is one of the most popular types of braid because
of the undone look that reminds a lot of women of the off-duty model
kind of hair. At the same time, it can add a whole lot to your look
rendering it more stylish than your average braid. Indeed, it is a go-to
hairstyle for women, especially during summer time when your strands
can easily misbehave. The good thing about a fishtail braid is that even
though your hair can get a bit messy, it still feels and looks like
part of your overall hairstyle. Hence, you do not have to worry about
setting everything in place.
But even though the fishtail braid is quite popular, you can get
weary sometimes especially if you have done the same hairstyle over and
over again. If you would insist on wearing a fishtail braid, why not try
unique variations to the braided hairstyle? Here are some ideas you can
try to make your average fishtail braid more fun and exciting!
Fishtail Headband
This is an easy but gorgeous way to style your fishtail braid. And
the best part about doing a fishtail headband is that it works for all
types of hair textures and lengths. Essentially, you can create this
hairstyle by forming two fishtail braids on the opposing sides of your
head. Then, you drape those two braided sections under the crown where
you can secure them to form a headband.
Fishtail Bun
There are no hard and fast rules to create a fishtail bun. You can
try it braiding tiny sections of hair into a fishtail braid and then
twisting it around a bun. Or, you can also try braiding your hair from
the crown until the end of the hair where you can twist it into a bun.
This is a casual yet feminine hairstyle that isn’t too undone or too
messy either.
Side Twist Fishtail Braid
This is another feminine take on the fishtail braid. It is a great
hairstyle to wear if you prefer to let your hair down, which also gives a
boho feel to your look. You start by forming a side part. Then,
twisting one side of your hair from the front and then starting a braid
right near your ear. Continue braiding until you reach the end. Let the
braided section fall loosely to the side of your hair for a casual and
free-spirited hairstyle.
Halo Fishtail Braid
Halo and milkmaid braids are also quite popular for women who love to
wear their hair in an updo. Hence, why not try combining these braided
hairstyles into one look? Start by braiding small sections of your hair
in a fishtail braid and then using those sections to form a halo or
milkmaid braid. It gives a modern update to this classic hairstyle.
Over the Shoulder Fishtail Braid
This is a simple update to your average fishtail braid: simply start
from the top of your hair (right where the part is) and then allowing it
to run down towards the end of the hair. Bring your hair together over
to one side to make it look like your braid runs down from the root
towards the ends where it rests on your shoulder.
Rope Fishtail Braid
A rope fishtail braid is another fun twist to your fishtail braid
arsenal. The key factor here is to prep your hairstyle so that it
achieves lots of texture and volume.
