3 Ways to Wear Fishtail Braid

June 2, 2015 by neha

The summer season is almost here with the warmer weather getting closer, the trick is to look fashionable yet cool. The fishtail braid is an effortless way to look chic, elegant as well as appropriate for the sultry weather. It would be a good idea to spice up the regular ponytail and go for this no-fuss braid. It is classy, elegant and versatile. It is casual as well as dressed up at the same time.

Braids are the best way to welcome summer because they keep you fresh and make you look totally adorable! The fishtail braid has a woven appearance and is also called the Grecian or the herringbone braid. The only difference between a regular braid and this French braid is that it divides the hair into only two sections instead of three.

Here are some simple steps to create the fishtail braid:

  1. Untangle your hair completely.

  2. Start by parting your hair into two equally divided sections

  3. Take a small piece of hair (make sure it’s not too large) from underneath of one section and bring it over to the other side.

  4. Repeat the same process on the other section and replicate it for each side.

  5. Finish the braid by tying up the hair in the end using a band. Add any desired accessory if you want.

The only thing required for this braid is patience! This elaborate looking braid would be much easier to make once you get the hang of the technique by trying it a couple of times. But once you have completed it, you won’t be disappointed with the results. A simple fishtail braid looks great but variations of the same braid work wonders.

A very simple variant would be to make the fishtail braid sideways. It will look more stylish and feminine. Wear it during the day or the evening; it will look fab either ways. Can work for both dressed up and dressed down looks!

Another way to style is to create a fishtail braid on the side and pin it neatly to the top of the head. This will make it look like a nice side updo or a wide head band braid. This is more dressy and formal. It can be worn in the evenings with both Indian and western wear. The look is very unique and summery and will definitely grab some eyeballs.
