+ and - weaving:

Minuses: It will be difficult for beginners to braid it over their entire head and make a beautiful beginning, since when doing it for the first time their hands get tired very quickly.

Advice: to cope with all the disadvantages, do your first weaves on the model so that your hands remember the weaving, and your eyes - exactly the sequence of actions. So after a few dozen braids, you will braid yourself a perfect fishtail.

5 variants

They should be disassembled before weaving:

classical;
vice versa or inverse (we take the external or internal strands, put the strands under or on the braid);
double;
from rubber bands;
other variations based on the classic.

When weaving on our own or on our own:

What can be a fishtail?

What kind of beginning your spikelet will have depends on the chosen hairstyle and your desire. Look at the list below, we tried to take into account all the options.
The fish tail weaves:

from the tail or collected hair(on the back of the head, crown);
from the temporal region and along the lateral part;
all over the head starting from the forehead;
on the side of the head, around;
from part of the hair on the crown;
from the temple and obliquely goes through the entire head, smoothly descending downward.

In the photo above, you see several options at once and the main problem is the lack of a beautiful beginning if you weave classical method, as well as when moving from weaving back to side.

Advice: Start with a regular 3-strand braid and move on to a fishtail.

To make the transition when braiding a fishtail on yourself on the back of the head was beautiful without breaks, braid from behind until you reach the level of the neck or immediately shift all the hair to one side and only then braid or seek help from loved ones.

How to gently start weaving from the beginning of the head?

Lightly sprinkle the prepared hair with some water or gel so as not to frizz, then select a strand of hair where we will start braiding.

1 method

Divide the selected strand into 3 parts and start weaving the classic French braid. The right strand to the central and left strand to the central one, having made 2 stitches, fold 2 strands into 1 and then continue weaving the fishtail braid.

Method 2

Divide the selected strand into 3 parts, shift the right strand to the central one and connect 2 strands into 1, then continue weaving with 2 strands.

Reverse start

Select a section of hair and divide it into 3 sections.

Make 3 stitches, right strand under the center, left strand under the center.
Then we connect 2 strands into one, i.e. it turns out the right strand 1.
Select a thin strand from the edge of the right strand and put it on the left one under the bottom and add a grab from the free hair.

Weave 8-10 cm, then start pulling the strands to add volume.

The secret to clean weaving: pour mousse into a container, put a small amount of it on the sharp tip of the comb and run along the links of the braid, this way you get a cleaner and neater weave, and the protruding ends are hidden by sticking to the braid. We collect mousse a little, because it melts quickly.

Do everything strictly according to the instructions described, because the collected mousse in the hand melts quickly, and when applied with fingers, the hair will stick to the hands.

How to weave a fishtail: step-by-step instructions with a photo for beginners, as well as a video and a diagram

Prepare for work: wax, 2 combs - a brush with a fine tip for separating strands, an elastic band for tying braids, varnish.

Sit down your subject and ask them to tilt their head back slightly. The level of her head should be comfortable for your arms and torso, so that while standing you do not have to bend or stretch - this will lead to quick fatigue and discomfort.

The second option is to sit on a sofa or chair, and sit the model at your knees, so that you feel comfortable.

Pre-comb your hair and lightly treat with wax or water for the child.

To make the braiding beautiful and neat, we divide the hair so as to separate the rectangle.
in the middle of the head. Divide the selected strand into equal 2 parts. In this case, we divide the left one into 2 parts. It should turn out 3 strands of photo 1.
Divide the selected section of the forehead into two equal parts. If the model has bangs, highlight it as desired.
Divide the left side in half again. You have 2 small ones in your left hand, 1 large in your right hand in photo 2.
We hold two strands with our left hand like this: the index and large fingers hold the extreme, and the middle ring and little fingers. We hold the large left strand with our entire hand.

We put the right strand on the middle one and transfer it to left hand, right hand using the index and thumb we clamp these two strands at the intersection.
We put the left strand on the middle one and transfer it to the right hand, in the right hand we hold 2 strands.
As a result, you should get 2 equal strands, from which we will weave.

Place your left hand under the strand, and her index finger under the braid, the big one holds the place of the weave, preventing it from unraveling.

With the right hand, with the index finger, separate the strand of hair and transfer it to the left strand while clamping it with the middle finger of the left hand. The separated strand is narrow, and the catch is exactly the same.
We add a grab, we carry it with the tip of a comb or index finger, but in the 2nd case it will not turn out to be so smooth and thin. Comb the grip well, if hairs stick out in some places, smooth them with gel.
We take the right strand in our right hand, while squeezing our grab. Similarly, use the left index finger to separate a small strand, only to the left. In this case, the right hand is located as follows: the index finger is under the oblique, and the thumb is at the place of weaving. We release the left strand and transfer the separated part to the right hand, similarly we make a grab and put it on middle finger to capture.
Then we repeat the steps in the same way. Working with 2 strands. Photo 4 - this is taking a part of the strand and grabbing it, placing the hands and fingers as picking up the separated strand, photo 5 - we took the grab and laid it on top of the separated strand. Photo 7 is a strand hold after braiding the right strand. 8 this is work with the left strand, we lay part of the strand on top.

The main strand is flat, the separation occurs from the main strands only along the edge.

Having reached the top of your head, your braid will begin to overtake the picks, i.e. the braid is on the top of the head, and the braids are taken below the level of the braid, then take the braces not from the edge of the hair, but a little closer to the braid, leaving the front part of the curls untouched.
Thus, it is necessary to weave the braid to the level of our last pick. Make sure that the braid turns out to be neat, for this, comb it and guide the grabs exclusively to the braid, not below.
When the braid is aligned with the level of the picks, now we again take the strands from the very edge of the hair growth.
We continue to weave the braid to the very bottom, while strictly repeating the shape of the head, making the braid close to the head.
We draw the grips well to the head, thereby avoiding the rapid "loosening" of the hair.

It is quite simple to check this, look at the lower strands, where there are pickups, there should be no hanging strands, everything exactly repeats the shape of the head.
The hooks are over, we weave only 2 strands, separating the parts from the edges and shifting to the opposite part.

Separating the strands at the edges makes the braid pattern the same on 2 sides.

So we add the fishtail to the end and tie it with an elastic band. With a comb, slightly smooth out the irregularities, do not start the teeth deeply, but set them at an angle. Then we find the places where there are roosters and, starting the sharp tip at the hair growth, we draw under the hair not deep to the braid. Roosters are removed. Sprinkle with varnish.

Use varnish to create a cloud at a distance of 30-40 centimeters. A point-blank spray will make hair look clumpy and dirty.

On the model with pick-ups

To kid

To myself

Asking someone to braid you is not always desirable or possible, but your hands are always with you and they are ready to help you, you just need to teach them a little how to perform simple step-by-step movements.

How and what?

Prepare: 2 mirrors, so that they stand on top of each other or a dressing table, a comb with a fine tip or paste, an elastic hair band.

It is important to position the mirrors so that you can see your weaving in the process, so you can remove the roosters or straighten the weaving.

Become as comfortable as you like and comb the curls, then raise your hands up and take them in your hands, touching your head.

Pay attention to the photos, they are step by step, so that you can see what is happening behind your back when you weave.

How to make a side?

Comb the hair and divide it into two equal strands.
Bring all hair to the side of either side.
Holding both strands in our hands, use the index finger to separate the thin curl from the edge of the strand and transfer it to the second.
We repeat the operation on the left side.
To understand, it is necessary to repeat. Separate, shift, capture, separate, shift, capture.
Separate on the right, shift, separate on the left, shift. So, we repeat to the end of the braid, tie the tail with an elastic band or hair clip.

On myself

The second option with the beginning at the temple

With grabs all over the head

The hooks are made from the sides of the head, not detached from the split strands.

So we repeat the operations to the end of the braid, tie with an elastic band.

Secret: the thinner the strands and the same thickness, the prettier and more even your braid. Thin curls will make it longer, and thick ones will look like a French braid.

Wearing a classic all over my head with grabs

With rubber bands

To create such a hairstyle you will need: rubber bands, a comb with a fine tip, hair middle length or long.

Comb the curls thoroughly. Select a strand from the forehead and tie the ponytail with an elastic band. Turn it out. Pull up slightly by pulling 2 parts of the tail.

We do the stretching in a row so that they separate and look like a fish tail.

Separate the hooks from 2 sides with your fingers or the thin end of a comb. Collect them together with the previous one and also turn it out, stretching it around its axis. We pull it up. Then we slightly stretch the side parts along the strand, giving a fishtail resemblance.
We repeat: we collect the tail, add a catch, tie the tail, twist it, stretch it.
So we repeat up to the neck. At this point, we repeat in the same way, but without grabs.

The braid holds for a long time, although the impression of lightness, airiness and negligence is created, but it is deceptive. All day long, even with an active child, she looks as if she was not made long ago.

Having reached the very last section, we tie and turn out. We correct the previous strands, giving them more volume and effect.

On the contrary: description, photo, diagram for yourself and on the model

The difference between the reverse fishtail in laying the strands, we put them under the bottom, i.e. it turns out the braid appears under the strands.

This can be seen very clearly in the video, so look at the weaving option on the model, it can be seen better there than on yourself.

To weave a fishtail back braid, prepare: a comb, rubber bands, water in a spray.

Fishtail Hairstyles

Malvinka braided short and medium length

Weaving option that will delight the owners short hair and up to the shoulders. Try the magic of this weaving and create yourself beautiful hairstyle even beginners can. 5 minutes is enough to go to work, school or Kindergarten with a new hairstyle. Let's get started!

Comb your curls thoroughly. Separate a section of hair above the forehead. If you have a bang, let it out.
Divide the strand into 2 sections. Use your index finger to separate the strand of stripes from the left outer side and transfer to the right strand in your right hand.
Separate a part from the right strand and attach to the left, transferring it to the left hand.
We begin to add hooks, but we do this not all over the head, but only at the base of the hair growth near the face. We put the left hook on the right strand, separating the hook on the right we put it on the left strand.

Weaving occurs only due to pickups, pay attention to this.

As you can see in our weaving process, only 2 strands of which we use, we always put the selected strand on the opposite side. Repeat braids to the crown area or desired length.
When you reach the area behind the ears, weave without grabs, i.e. separating part of the strand from the main strands and shifting to the opposite one. It sounds like this: separate the part from the right strand and transfer to the left, separate the part from the edge of the left strand and transfer to the right.
Having made several links, fix the braid with a thin elastic band, carefully comb the ponytail and pull the weaving up by moving it away from the elastic band, and slightly pulling the strands from the braid to give it volume. If desired, braid the braid to the end and tie with an elastic band there.

Tutorial video for creating a fishtail hairstyle for short and medium hair:

The video teaches in detail how to braid a fishtail and make it with free links:

Fishtail with large sections

Separate a lock of hair at the crown by sliding your fingers from the temples to the crown.
Gather all the separated top hairs and begin to weave the fishtail, separating the strand from the edge and transferring to the opposite strand. Separating from right side strand and transfer to the left, separate from the left strand and transfer to the right. Try to keep strands of the same size.
Having made 5-6 bindings in this way, hold the braid in your hand and slowly stretch the links in different directions, giving them volume.

Why can't you stretch the strands after you've already braided the whole braid? Because the braid will turn out to be not uniform and it is difficult to stretch the strands, then you will not have to move from top to bottom, but only from below, which is not very convenient.

So we repeat weaving 5-6 links without stretching, then 5 more links and already stretching. Make the stretched link zones larger or smaller, more often, if desired. Experiment with which option you like best.

Watch the symmetry of the strands being stretched and the braid itself, so that you get it evenly.

So we continue to weave to the end of the braid, stretching the strands in parallel. When you get to the end, tie a rubber band to match your hair.

Mega volume

Separate a section in the middle of the head and divide it into 3 sections. We perform one braid, fold 2 strands into one and continue weaving from 2 strands further.
We separate the thin strand and it goes to the opposite side, select it with the index finger, shift it and pick it up with the middle finger of the second hand. The fishtail is reverse, but we weave the braid itself inward, and we make the hooks under the braid.
We separate a strand of hair from the braid, shift it to the opposite one, take a grab and shift it to the opposite strand under the bottom, under the braid. We hold the braid itself in place of weaving with the thumb and forefinger so that it does not fall apart.
Make 5-8 loops and pull the links. It is important to pull out the links not all, but at intervals, so it will turn out more effectively and voluminously. As a result of this weaving, non-elongated links are obtained, slightly elongated and very large.
So with grabs weaving to the back of the head, make sure that the spikelet is at the head, repeating its shape. Then we weave without grabs, similarly pulling the strands in a chaotic manner, making gaps.

Make a herringbone or butterfly in the shape of the released links by adjusting the pull.

Tie it with an elastic band, when you finish it to the end, hide it by simply wrapping it in a strand and securing it behind invisible.

At the end of the weave, reduce the size of the pull-out links to make the braid come off and look more dramatic.

The braid is ready, we do not process the hair on the child, but we spray it with varnish for the adult.

Weaving braids at home: step by step instructions with a photo

To braid beautiful braid fishtail, you need to prepare your hair. To do this, wash them, dry them slightly, comb and apply a small amount of styling products. For weaving, you need the following devices:

Two mirrors, one opposite the other, or trellis (for good view nape).
Comb.
Fine comb for separating hair.
Elastic bands for fixing the finished braid.
Decor accessories.
Fixing agents (varnish, mousse, and so on).
If necessary, use a curling iron or iron to pre-prepare your hair for braiding.

Classic

Divide your hair into two equal sections.
From the outside of the left side, separate a thin strand and wrap it over the right side.
Do the same with the opposite (right) side.
Braid in this manner to the desired length of the braid.
Secure it with an elastic band.

Inverted

Divide your hair into three sections at the top of your head.
Start weaving the strands in the same way as when creating a reverse French braid: wind the left strand under the center and right strands too.
Combine two strands (left and center) into one. You should have two working strands.
On the outer left side, separate a thin strand and bring it through the bottom under the right. At the same time, add a thin curl from the bulk of the hair to the working strand.
Do the same with the right working strand.
Process the hair according to the indicated pattern to the desired length of the braid.
Secure with an elastic band.

French (from the top of the head)

Separate three narrow strands at the crown so that if you were weaving simple pigtail of three strands.
Apply the left strand over the central one, and the right strand in the same way, but in a mirror image.
Next, combine two strands (left and center) into one. Thus, you will have two working strands.
Separate a thin strand from the left (as in the classic version described above) and connect it to the right. Then separate a thin strand from the total mass of hair and attach it to the working one.
Alternate adding thin strands to the left and right until you run out of loose hair. Then weave a simple fishtail. Finally, secure the hair with an elastic band.

Comb the hair on the side you will be braiding.
Secure your hair with a thin disposable elastic band on your side.
Divide the curls into two working zones, as in the previous diagrams.
Weave to the desired length.
When the braid is done, cut the elastic.
Sprinkle some hairspray on your hair.

Around the head

Divide your hair into two equal parts, each of which is secured with an inconspicuous disposable elastic band.
Braid each of the resulting ponytails into a fishtail and fix it with a small elastic band.
Tuck the left pigtail around the head from the back of the head to the forehead through the temples. Attach it to the bulk of your hair with invisibility.
Do the same with the right ponytail, turning it into a pigtail and pins to the head with invisibility.

Weaving should be started in the same way as in the classic version.
Having made 2-3 cross weaves, wind a thin braid at its base long tape folded in half. Attach it with invisibility or simply tie it to the base of the braid.
Continue braiding in the classic pattern, grabbing the ribbon with your hair.
When you get to the end, fix the edge of the braid with the two ends of the ribbon, tying a bow out of them.

Comb your hair at the top and back of your head. Spray the fleece lightly with varnish for extra firmness and hold.
Weave the braid according to the classic pattern, without pulling the strands tight.
When you're done braiding, use your fingers to gently pull the strands out from both sides to add extra fluffiness.
Secure the end of the braid with a hair clip.

The end of the braid looks original, not fastened with a hairpin or elastic band. To finish the hairstyle in this way, it is recommended to comb the resulting ponytail at the end of the pigtail and sprinkle it with varnish.

When separating the strand, it is most convenient to do this with a fingernail or a comb with a knitting needle.

If you want to get a relaxed, airy braid, slightly pull the strands out of it. This must be done simultaneously from both sides so that there is no asymmetry.

To prevent your hair from slipping too much, you can treat it with a special hair powder before braiding. It will give the hair a little stiffness, and the strands will not slip.

If there is not enough natural volume, you can use an iron with a corrugated attachment.

Want a clearer structure? Then use dry shampoo, hair powder or wax.

How to decorate the finished hairstyle?

If you are planning to wear a romantic chiffon dress or sundress and make light makeup, together with a braid, a bow, a cloth bandage and a scarf will look charming.
For a glamorous look, accessories such as hairpins with rhinestones, invisible hairpins and hairpins with stones and beads are suitable.
For a strict business look, more minimalistic decorations are perfect: for example, a thin headband with little or no decor.

If you are planning to create a daring rebellious look, you can use overhead multi-colored strands with elastic bands that need to be woven into a braid. Bright floss threads or cords are perfect for the same purpose.

How to wear?

The fishtail oblique can be combined with other hairstyles. For example, make a fleece with a fleece in the parietal zone and braid it with two braids. Also, the look of a pigtail, twisting the whole head like a snail, looks very beautiful.

A high ponytail braided into a pike tail looks simple and stylish at the same time. You can braid 2-3 fish tails and combine them into one common braid. As you can see, there can be a lot of options for this hairstyle!

owners of rare or short curls need to add volume. This can be done with artificial strands, or comb your hair and use a hairdryer;
if the hair is curly, then before weaving it is worth straightening them a little to avoid unnecessarily embossed braids... Besides, curly hair it will be much more difficult to braid, and the braid will not be tight enough;
whatever the type of hair, before laying them, you must thoroughly wash, dry and preferably apply a conditioner. If the curls are too electrified, then pre-treat them with an antistatic agent.

The process of creating a hairstyle

Classic braid vice versa

The French braid can be of two types - on the side or straight, parting. First, you need to decide on the type of pigtail, because this will differ from the beginning of weaving.

on the crown (or side), take a rather large lock of hair, comb it and divide it into three strands equal in volume and width. Remove the left strand under the middle, and then the right under the middle strand;
make a grab - from the area of the left temple, add a small curl to the main left strand, and then move it with a grab under the middle strand;
do a similar operation only with the right strand;
continue creating braids in the same way, braiding the left and right strands in the middle, gradually thickening them with curls from the temples.

You can pull the resulting braid up and to the sides a little to add a little volume. In this case, it is always necessary to start from the bottom so as not to violate the integrity of the structure.

Tie the end of the braid with a ribbon, bow, or hairpin. Add hairspray as needed for long lasting styling.

French braid

Modern hairstyle variations

A big plus of styling hair with braiding is variability. So, you can change the scheme a little, and in the end you get a completely new and interesting hairstyle... In addition, weaving variations allow you to create an image for different occasions. Here are some options for the opposite braid.

Partial French braid

Comb the entire length of your hair and part one section on either side of the parting. Divide it into three equal parts;
Start shaping the braid using the technology described above, alternately adding thin curls to each subsequent turn. The hairstyle is created, as in the classic version, from top to bottom;
After a finished braid has been obtained from one side, all other strands must be removed into the tail, which is then added directly to the braid (approximately in the back of the head), fastened with an elastic band or hairpin;
If possible, the base of the tail should be wrapped with a lock of hair, this will help hide the joint between the tail of free strands and the braid.

If necessary, you can add various accessories to the braid - flowers, bows, hairpins, etc.

Weaving French braids on the side

Comb through all your hair well and use conditioner to make it easier to style your hair;
Take one strand from the right or left temple and divide it into three parts;
Start weaving regular braid on the contrary, starting from the second turn, add free curls taken from the right and then from the left side;
Braid up to the ear area, and the weaving should go strictly vertically. In this case, the pigtail pattern on one side should be slightly larger;
Secure the tip with an elastic band or hair clip. And to add volume, stretch the weave with your hands. It is not recommended to touch the pick-up curls, otherwise you can destroy the styling.

Side braiding

Combined fishtail

Make a side parting, on the larger side, separate part of the hair and divide them into three equal parts;
