EASY fishbone plait/braid tutorial

How to to do a fishbone plait step by step tutorial
You will need: A comb; two hairbands; HAIR!
Place the hair in to a ponytail using the comb and one hairband (this is optional, however, doing a fishbone plait without having put hair in a ponytail is somewhat advanced!)
Separate ponytail into two even sections
Grip the two sections with your two hands in a fist, with your four fingers gripping the hair, and your thumbs pointing upwards.
Using your right (or left) index finger, section off a small amount from the far right hand side of the hair.
Move this section over to the left hand whilst still gripping the two sections.
Merge this section with the left hand section, placing it on the inside of the left hand section.
Place your right thumb on top and apply pressure to the small section of hair, just crossed to ensure it doesn't move.
Use your left index finger to section off a small amount from the far left hand side of the hair. This small section should be around the same size as the small section taken from the right hand side.
Merge this section with the right hand section, placing it on the inside of the right hand section.
Place your left thumb on the and apply pressure to the small section of hair just crossed to ensure it doesn't move

Could you do a fishtail plait without the hair band at the top? like a side one which sits on the shoulder?

[tameyourmanevlogspot]

Sure, In fact thats a good idea!

[Jebsie]

I cannot do this at all. However I can do a french plait and a danish plait. What's wrong with me? Haha. I want to do the fishbone in two seperate plaits. One on the left of my head and one on the right. Any help?

[tameyourmanevlogspot]

hey hey...

Hmm, maybe... if you practiced on someone else first, just so you get the technique down then it might be easier to do it on yourself.

Or, you could even use string... get about 6 pieces of string, tie them at one end and apply the same technique and it might help a lil.....

I love doing this plait.

I struggle to do french plait

tried this and picked it up straight away i do mine with 2 :)

[tameyourmanevlogspot]

yeah french plaits require a lot of practice i agree... I might shoot a video and let youtube rate mine... since i dont think theyre that good... hmm

[Misznovember]

so what if she takes too long for some, there might be new learners out there that might not pick it up as fast.
