How to weave a fish tail?

The braid can be different, there are a lot of options for weaving it and each of them can be turned into a delightful hairstyle. You can learn to fish the "fishtail" yourself if you study the pattern and do some training.

Of the simplest weaving options, the "fish tail" is considered the most popular. Even he has several options for execution, thanks to this you can enter such a braid in any created image.

The hairstyle is organically combined not only with everyday clothes, but also looks great on the red carpet. Fashion brands like to use this weaving option in photo shoots. Many popular stars of domestic film distribution and foreign pop singers choose the "fish tail" as the main decoration of their image.

In the classic version, this is not a French braid, so it should not start at the forehead line. The modern version involves weaving on the side, according to the technique of creating such a hairstyle does not differ from the usual "fish tail". Sometimes hair is first tied with an elastic band to the tail. So do girls who are just gaining experience, because the hair remains fixed and weaving becomes easier.

The use of a spray bottle with water allows you to make the braid even, without stranding strands. When the curls are clean, they fluff and easily disintegrate, so sometimes they don’t even specifically wash their hair a few days before creating a hairstyle.

“Fish tail” is not quite an ear, although their weaving is similar in appearance. It is appreciated by masters for its attractive appearance, ease of execution, the ability to combine with other elements, for example, with a tail or loose hair. When the fish tail is finished, it remains mobile, supple, so you can subsequently lay it with hairpins or invisible. If there is not enough volume, you can add it if you slightly pull the curls from the braid.

But despite the huge number of advantages, a beginner cannot braid this pigtail on his own, as his hands get tired very much. The beginning of such a braid can be different, some make it from the tail, others on the side of the temple or from the forehead throughout the head. Always begin to weave with three strands, only after they switch to the "fish tail".

You can make a "fish tail" only on long or medium-long curls. If the haircut involves several levels, those first ones will be knocked out, which can be used to advantage for yourself. They are usually wound with large curls and stacked separately.

Depending on the type of hair, special hairstyle requirements apply. On straight hair, you can braid any of the fishtail options, if the volume is insufficient, use a corrugation or slightly curl the hair before weaving with a curling iron. But for girls who naturally have curls by nature, it is better to straighten them with an iron, otherwise it will be difficult to make an even braid without knocking out strands.

If you study the process and patterns of weaving in stages, then after a few workouts, the girl can easily make any of the options proposed by the modern fashion industry.

The “fish” or “pike” tail, on the contrary, is a very interesting hairstyle that you can easily learn on your own. Modern fashion is again looking into the past, so it returns to the curls that have been removed, and among the possible options for weaving braids, this particular one, made inside out, allows you to create an unusual image. The weaving in question was very much in demand among the Slavs. Phased weaving from the forehead is as follows.

• They begin to weave the braid on the contrary with the separation of two strands at the forehead line.
• A thin curl is disconnected from the inner edge on the right and diagonally directed to the left side behind a tuft of hair on the left.
• The same process is repeated on the left side, that is, a thin strand is separated from the left inner half of the hair, held over the curls on the right and connected to freely lying hair.
• The process is repeated until the moment until it is decided to tie the remaining hair with an elastic band.

All strands should be symmetrical, even, so you may need a spray bottle with water and a comb. There are several options for how to make a pigtail in this performance:

• a snake;
• with two braids;
• on the side.

The classic version also weaves from the beginning of the forehead, but it looks best when they begin to weave from the middle. The step-by-step instruction on how to create a classic weave is very short, because it is simple, if you understand the essence.

• All hair must be distributed equally on the right and left half.
• Weaving begins on either side, this is not fundamentally important and does not affect the final result.
• Take the extreme thin strand on the left, which is located behind the ear, and diagonally cross the rest of the head and take it under the curls located on the right. The same process is repeated on the reverse side.

The movements are repeated until the braid is completely finished.

One of the most voluminous options is weaving on one side, which can be done independently. If we talk about the universality of modern hairstyles, then this is exactly the option that is needed. Such weaving can be supplemented at will, you can use accessories, weave ribbons. The easiest way is to weave one braid, more difficult two, which are then connected together. In the second case, skill and experience are required, since it is most difficult to make a smooth transition.

Such a hairstyle acquires special charm in the summer, when the girls try to clean their hair, but do not want to sacrifice beauty.

This version of the hairstyle can rightfully be called universal, since there are a huge number of possible options for transformation. Some masters prefer to weave only one “fish tail”, others use two of them in the design, then connect them to a single structure in the middle.

In any case, the "fish tail" will be the perfect solution for everyday walks, dates. The execution technique is as follows:

• first you need to collect a low tail on either side so that it covers the ear;
• after fastening the hair with an elastic band, they are divided into two parts;
• in turn, first, from the left, then from the right, they take them in a lock and shift them in the opposite hand over the rest of the hair;
• the actions are repeated until the hair ends, then they are fixed with an elastic band, and the weaving itself is fixed with varnish.

This is one of the simplest options that can be made a little more voluminous if you carefully pull the hair from the braid.

You can braid the "fish tail" from the temporal region to the opposite ear, making weaving down around the neck. To do this, begin to divide the hair from one side above the ear, preferably higher, since the head should be visually divided into two halves, but horizontally. The weaving technique remains the same.

• Holding two parts of the hair in the hands, first on the right side a small curl is wound on top and lies in the left hand.
• The same action is repeated on the right side.

This option is considered one of the most difficult because it requires long training. First, it will take time to put the hair in order and remove all existing nodules, then divide it into two halves in a straight part. One part of the hair is temporarily tied with an elastic band, since two braids will have to be woven.

The technique remains classic, not for the reverse fish tail. The braids are woven to the end, then the strands are slightly pulled out so that the hairstyle looks a bit sloppy. One pigtail is twisted into a ring on the head and secured with hair clips. The other braid is thrown onto the opposite shoulder and is also fixed in a comfortable position.

Girls who own gorgeous thick hair should definitely make a fishtail weave from the top of the crown, because it looks incredible. You can simply weave the braid to the middle of the length and fix it with an elastic band, it will turn out very unusual.

They begin to weave with curls located at the line of the beginning of the forehead. If the volume of your own hair is not enough, then it is worth combing a little, then the desired effect will be achieved.

• The hair along the entire line of the forehead and to the top of the head is visually divided into two halves, but the first strands should not be taken too far, because then it will turn out not quite what you want.
• Several weaves are made in the center of the forehead. The technique remains the same as used in the classical version, that is, a large strand on the right rests in the left hand and connects to the hair in it. The action is repeated on the other hand.
• Then they gradually grab locks located along the line of the forehead to the ear, then behind it. In this case, the braid is braided to the middle, the rest of the hair can be left freely lying, or it can be twisted into a muzzle.

Not so long ago, weaving around the head became especially popular, and there were several reasons for this. It looks great both as a daily hairstyle and for a festive event, just add a few accessories.

Unusual, but very attractive will look like a “fish tail” all over the head with additional volume, although such a hairstyle takes a lot of time. Weaving starts from the temple and does not move over the forehead, but along the occipital region. When the braid is completely braided, a wreath is formed around the head, the end of which is fixed with an elastic band and hides under the hair. Real professionals learned how to make zigzags and snails on their heads, but this should be learned.

If a girl only comprehends the science of weaving braids, then it is worth trying the simplest option:

• use the braid weaving technique on one side, starting movement from the ear;
• take invisibles or hairpins and use them as supporting elements with which you can raise the braid and lay it around the head;
• the only disadvantage of this option is the length limit, that is, the girl must have impressive braid sizes to completely cover her head.

If a girl already has very voluminous hair, especially for African-American women or women with curly curls, then the extra volume is completely unnecessary. In this case, the girls tend, on the contrary, to tighten the braids as much as possible so that they look organically and combine with the image. A tight braid is one of those tools that can help without the use of fixing compounds.

When weaving a tight "fish tail" technique will be slightly different. First you need to carefully comb the hair, then divide them into three parts. A standard pigtail is pulled out of each, while the one that will be located in the center should start a few centimeters lower.

From the obtained braids, the braid is again weaved using the classical method. As a result, the base of the resulting hairstyle resembles a semicircle. This weaving is perfect for girls with thick wavy hair.

A well-assembled hairstyle using two fish tails is a great option for girls with long hair. In the finished version, it seems as if knocking strands lie around the beam in a specially selected sequence. The instructions for creating the following.

• The hair is well combed and collected in a high ponytail. The resulting bundle is divided into two halves, weaving is created from each according to the classical pattern. The ends are tied with an elastic band.
• If the girl has a lot of hair, then you can do not two, but three pigtails, then the bun will look even more attractive.
• At the next stage, each braid will need to be slightly loosened by pulling curls from the weave.
• The first braid should wrap the gum. As fastening elements, you can use invisibility.
• The second pigtail is laid in the opposite direction and is also fixed.

Design specialists give their advice on what else is worth considering when using the braid in question as an option for a hairstyle.

• It is worth remembering that the farther the curls are when weaving this braid, the wider the "fish tail" is obtained.
• If a girl independently weaves her braid, then you will need to have several mirrors on hand that need to be placed around so that you can see each action.
• If the curls are very naughty, you can use a small amount of styling or just spray the curls with water from the spray gun.
• You can try the modern styling style by shifting the hair to the left or right side and braiding the braid very low.

• In the process of independent weaving, you will need to have patience, because for the first few times the hands will become very numb.
• If you have a lot of experience in creating such weaving, you can safely experiment and even create your own, different from other images.
• The learning process will take a little time before the fingers begin to move correctly. It is worth the first time to sit in front of a mirror and relax. They begin to act slowly even if a step is forgotten, so you can always start weaving again.
• The braid "fishtail" looks great on long, medium hair, as well as level haircuts.
• If the hair is too soft and obedient, you can try combing it slightly to give it more density.

Volumetric braids also have their secrets, and most experts are happy to share them.

• First of all, you need to start pulling the pigtails apart. The Dutch braid and the Dutch fish tail are ideal for creating volume through the use of this particular technique. You just need to pull the curls in different directions so that they become wider.
• If you want to achieve an even better effect, then it is worth using a corrugation, due to which the hair becomes very fluffy.

If the girl is in search of a chic new look, then she simply must try one of the options for hairstyles, which offers a fish tail. Although most hairstyles with him can look complicated, in reality it turns out that everything is much simpler and it is not so difficult to recreate the weave. A fish tail can look romantic, sexy and a little funny. These braids can be wrapped around the head or made a crown, they look very beautiful in the tail, they are a universal option that can be adapted to any style.

In an ordinary braid, three curls are used, but in this case only two, from here a unique relief. The main idea is to use the strands from the outside and put them inside another part.

You can feel like a princess if you just make a big braid, which then decorate with flowers. Start creating hairstyles from the temple and move through the entire forehead, then behind the ear and to the neck.

The Dutch “fish tail” looks very modern.When it is created in front, the hair is gathered in a ponytail to the top of the head, while leaving several free strands behind the ears on both sides. After that, the braid is braided according to the classical pattern, and the abandoned locks are gradually intertwined. The approximate length of weaving is 8 centimeters, then put on an elastic band. Under the scythe, loose curls remain. This hairstyle looks great on medium length.

Do not find a more interesting option than the winding "fish tail", which starts from the temples. First, the girl needs to take the temporal curls and twist them around her own axis, then bandage them with an elastic band on the back of her head and twist the resulting tail through the hole located at the junction between the two halves before the elastic. Then the process repeats, only take two strands below and bind them again, turning inside out. From the remaining freely hanging hair weave a classic version of the "fish tail".

You can make an unusual version of side weaving, in which all hair will need to be combed to one side. They begin to weave from the center of the forehead, using the classical scheme, only the locks should be very thin. In the area of ​​the shoulders, the direction of weaving changes, so an incredible effect is obtained.

If you have experience, you can try to weave the braid in the opposite direction, that is, not from the forehead, but from the back of the head. The technique is no different, only the girl will need to lean forward to make it more convenient. When weaving reaches the crown, the rest of the hair is tied with an elastic band, forming a very interesting tail.

Stunning hairstyles are obtained if you use several braids, which are then used in different ways. For example, you can divide the head diagonally into three parts. The first thing that occupies the area around the forehead is braided into a fishtail, the second and third only half, leaving the hair loose, but securing it with elastic and twisting it at the ends. From a completely woven pigtail, a flower is formed on the side, which closes the rubber bands.

A sporty option looks good, in which instead of African braids the described weaving is used. In this case, weave several braids parallel to each other from the forehead line to the back of the head.

In any of the proposed options, you can use ribbons of various thicknesses, depending on the color and position of which will depend on whether a girl or a more athletic one creates a romantic hairstyle.

You can make a very large braid only on the hair of the same length, because if at the final stage you start to pull the curls, they will not be knocked out of the weave. In addition, they pass along the entire length with an iron to create a corrugated structure, it will also add volume as a result.

Professionals do not use fingers for weaving, but metal or bamboo sticks with pointed ends, since this is akin to knitting sweaters - the thicker the knitting needle, the more voluminous weaving. In this case, a parallel can be drawn.

Hair is intertwined with large curls in a classic pattern. Each curl should lie freely, the elastic is tightened only at the end. After the strands with the same sticks, they are gently pulled, creating the necessary volume on the hair. To fix the effect using a fixing tool.

Of all the types of braids, the double "fish tail" can be considered one of the most complex, but this is its attractiveness. For weaving, you need a comb, elastic, several hairpins and hairspray.

It is almost impossible to do such a hairstyle for yourself, but then it’s quite possible to please your daughter if you delve into the process in more detail.

• The hair is well dried and combed until all the nodules are removed.
• Separate the hair into two parts using a comb, but not vertically, but horizontally.
