How to Fake A Fishtail Braid

How to Fake A Fishtail Braid
Everyone loves a fishtail but not everyone can do them, not well at least. Here is one of the fastest ways to get the look of a fishtail braid without actually doing one, and the result is absolutely beautiful.

How to Fake A Fishtail Braid
1. Pull your hair back into a low pony. Use a tiny rubber elastic that blends in with the color of your hair.  Split the hair in half just above the elastic.

  2. My partner loves it when she does my hair.. I have been working in confined spaces with a bun but this would be nice to wear going out.

  3. Thanks! I love this style. I have very long hair and this will be great, nice and comfy. Feel free to send as many as hair styles my way ҉٩(*´︶`*)۶҉

  4. I’ve done this many times in the past using a brightly colored scrunchy at each flip through except at the bottom. Didn’t know it was a ‘fishtail’. Thought I had dreamed it up myself. Usually I only have one or two flip throughs as my hair is not as long as the model’s. Have gotten compliments on it!
