Blog Nailing the Art of the Fishtail: Braiding Mastery at Moma’s Beauty Salon Jun 13, 2024

Braiding your hair can be a fun and creative way to express yourself, and at Moma’s Beauty Salon, we take pride in helping our customers master the art of braiding. One of the most popular and versatile braiding techniques is the fishtail braid. Today, we’ll be sharing some tips and tricks to help you nail the art of the fishtail braid at home.

The fishtail braid is a chic and stylish braid that looks intricate but is surprisingly easy to achieve with a bit of practice. To create a fishtail braid, start by dividing your hair into two equal sections. Take a small section of hair from the outer edge of the left section and cross it over to join the right section. Then, take a small section of hair from the outer edge of the right section and cross it over to join the left section. Continue this process, alternating sides, until you reach the end of your hair. Secure the braid with a hair tie and gently tug on the edges of the braid to give it a more relaxed and bohemian look.

To ensure that your fishtail braid looks neat and polished, it’s important to prep your hair properly. Start by washing and conditioning your hair with high-quality products to ensure that your hair is smooth and tangle-free. Apply a styling gel or mousse to your hair before braiding to help keep flyaways and frizz at bay. If your hair is particularly slippery or fine, you may also want to sprinkle some texturizing powder or spray to give your hair more grip.

When braiding your hair, take your time and work in small, even sections to ensure that your fishtail braid looks neat and tidy. Use a comb to create clean, precise parts and smooth down any stray hairs as you braid. If you’re struggling to create a fishtail braid on your own, don’t hesitate to ask a friend or family member for help. Practice makes perfect, and with a bit of patience and perseverance, you’ll be able to master the art of the fishtail braid in no time.
