• Hair should be thoroughly combed over the entire length and divided into 2 equal parts.
• Next, you should carefully separate one strip of hair from the top of the left side.
• The separated strand should be connected to the right side of the hair and then connected to the left.
• Repeat the same until the end of the hair. Secure the end with a rubber band.

• Properly combed and divided hair should be braided in a “fishtail” according to a convenient and familiar pattern; it should not be made too tight.

"Fishtail" on the side.

• Gently comb your hair and divide it into 2 identical parts.
• Then we shift all the hair on one of the parts, for example, on the right.
• Then, using both hands, take 2 strands of hair and separate the thin curl from the edge with the help of index fingers, shifting the curl to the second strand.
• Repeat the same on the left side.
• The general scheme of weaving looks like this: we separate the curl - we shift - we capture - we separate - we shift and again we capture.

Before we start braiding at home, We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the advice of professional hairdressers.

• Those who are just learning to weave a fishtail, it is better to do so in such a way that the hair was gathered to one side. So the whole process will be more visual than weaving a scythe at the back, when you cannot see your own hands.
• If it is assumed that the "fish tail" will begin as a classic spikelet - on the back of the head, then it should start to weave it from there. Well-combed hair locks should be crossed at the crown. But they should be positioned so that the right curl is on top of the left.
• To get the perfect braid you need to properly use your hands. With your free hand from the opposite side, you should take a new strand of hair and twist it with the already obtained scythe, and then you just need to repeat these actions until the end of the weave.

• To create a very unusual hairstyle, for example, on ancient Greek motifs, “fishtail” can be braided around the head in the form of a wreath. To do this, use the usual pattern of weaving. You can decorate this hairstyle with the help of decorative hairpins with flowers and even ribbons.
• The fishtail should not be weaved onto freshly washed and dried hair, as it will crumble. According to many stylists, it is best to braid the braid on the second or third day after shampooing.
• To create a voluminous hairstyle, you can pre-do a little bouffant on the hair. For fixing, you can use hairspray, and at the stage of weaving - mousse.
• If weaving the braid will go from the forehead and parts of the neck, this should continue until the very end. All podshvaty hands should be done from the side parts, and not select them from separate strands.
