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.
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. Loop the hair up and push the pony through the opening.
3. Use another rubber elastic to section off more hair just below the first.
4. Make the same split as you did in step two.
5. Repeat step two and loop the hair up again and push it through the opening.
6. Create one more section in the pony using a third rubber elastic.
Easy enough?

Love this. I love using clear elastics for a polished look but hate when they snag – ouch.

I just tried this. It was as easy as ur blog showed. I just love this. Thankx kay
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.
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
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!
Beautiful!!
