THE HALF-UP FISHTAIL BRAID

If you’ve got a calendar of special occasions lined up, you’ll want hair that catches the eye. Channel ethereal elegance with the half-up fishtail braid; think slightly tousled braids swept back into a half-up twist.

TEXTURE

Start by spraying your hair with a heat protection spray to give it a dry texture. Then, using a curling iron, curl your hair. Make sure you hold your curling iron horizontally to create relaxed waves rather than corkscrews.

FISHTAIL BRAIDS

Part your hair in the centre. Then, section off some hair on one side of your parting to start your first fishtail braid.Now create your second fishtail braid on the other side of your parting. Tug at both fishtail braids to loosen them.

TWIST TOGETHER

Join the two fishtail braids together at the back of your head, by knotting and weaving them through one other to form an undone twist. Fasten with hair pins.

PULL STRANDS

Release and loosen some strands around your face for a romantic finish, and add hold with hairspray.
