The easiest way to weave a fish tail

• • Comb the hair on the side, divide it into two equal parts with our hands;

• • From one of the strands, we separate a small part of the hair from the far edge and transfer it to the second strand;

• • Now we do the same manipulations with the second strand: we separate part of the hair from the far edge and transfer it to the first strand;

• • We continue in the same spirit until the end;

• • Having reached the edge, we fix the tip with a thin elastic band.

Try to separate the strands of the same size, then the braid will be more harmonious.

This option is also quite possible to weave on your own, but for beginners it will initially be easier to practice on someone else.

• • We carefully comb the hair, separate a small part of the hair at the crown and divide it by sex;

• • On the right side of the right side, we separate a thin strand and transfer it to the left side;

• • We do the same on the left side;

• • Next, we separate the thin strand on the right again, supplement it with a strand of the remaining free hair and shift it to the adjacent side;

• • We do the same on the left side;

• • We continue these manipulations on both sides alternately up to the back of the head. When all the loose hair is braided, we will continue weaving in an elementary way, shifting the extreme strands of both parts alternately to each other. We fasten the end of the weaving with an elastic band.

You can leave the braid tight. And you can loosen it a little by gently pulling the strands with your fingers from bottom to top.
