The steps are basically the same. Although the Fishtail ponytail looks tricky, it consists of a simple two strand braid that is created starting at the top of the base of a ponytail.
One hint is to try to keep all the sections equal in thickness and to pull each strand tightly to give the uniform herringbone appearance.
Step One: Start by pulling all hair back into a ponytail. It should be noted that this braid works best on dry hair that is medium to very long in length and is not layered.
Step Two: Divide the ponytail into two equal sections of hair. Take a small (approximately 1 inch section) from underneath the left section of hair and cross it over the right section of hair.
Step Three: While holding the ponytail securely with your left thumb and allow the right side of your hand to be free and then take a small section (same approximate size as the previous section) from underneath the right side.
Step Four: Cross the section from underneath the right over to the left side of your hair. While holding the right side securely with your right thumb, continue steps 2-4 until you reach the end of the ponytail. Secure the remaining "tail hair" with a "hair friendly" elastic band.
The braid can be adorned with gorgeous hair jewels such as rhinestone hair pins or other rhinestone jewelry. It can aslo be worn "as is". This style is easy, simple, fast and the results are stunning.
Allow plenty of "tail" at the end of the fishtail braid or else there is a danger that the elastic band may work its way out of place and the braid may loosen or fall out.
This hair style looks especially stunning on thick hair that has lots of contrasting colors that are emphasized with the tied hair pieces.
The style can be worn in a variety of modified ways including wearing bangs or side tendrils.
