Fish Tail Plait - How to.

When I was younger I took my very first vacation to America, Florida. I was young and as you can imagine was ridiculously over excited to see all the Disney characters walking around and getting them to sign my little autograph book, which unfortunately ended up in the hotel pool.

While we were there my family wanted to visit an old family friend who had moved out there, and one night his girlfriend gave me a fish tail plait. It's an interesting plait using four pieces of hair instead of three, named as it looks like a fishes tail.

For years and years I have tried to work out how to do it, and failed every time. It completely slipped my mind that the internet knows all, and was reminded a second ago when I was flicking through a magazine and noticed one of the models had a fish tail plait. It sparked off my curiosity

all over again and now I know how to do it I want to share with everyone.

1. Split your hair into two sections.

2. Take a really thin section from the back and bring it round as if you were plaiting your hair normally.

3. Take a small section from the back and repeat but on the opposite side.

4. Keep repeating on each side. Make sure it's tight.

5. Do this all the way down to the bottom and tie like a normal plait.

If you manage to do this right your hair should turn out like the model in the picture. If the instructions confused you, unsurprisingly as there are no step by step pictures, there is a video on youtube which is how I learnt how to do it. Just click the instructions.

Sadly my hairs too short for thi

s style atm but maybe by the summer..
