Braiding "Fishtail"

At first glance, a fishtail seems to be a rather complicated weaving, but it is not, the braid is woven from only two strands and quickly enough. The hair is divided into two parts, then a small strand is pulled from one part and transferred to the adjacent part, the same is done on the other side. The strands should be thin to give the pattern a nice look. This hairstyle easily lasts all day and retains its shape, does not tighten the hair too much, is suitable for different types of hair, but the pattern is best seen on straight hair.

To make the hairstyle more lush and voluminous, hairdressers advise treating the hair at the roots with corrugated tongs. It is most convenient to separate the strands with a fingernail, pick up the hair with the same finger, and all the rest at this time fix the braid.
