This week we’ve created two quick and easy hair styles based around the fishtail braid. The best thing about these styles is that you can be as neat or as messy as you like with a fishtail braid and you’ll get completely different looks.

If you want it to be messy, once you’ve finished braiding your hair, simply gently pull apart the braid to loosen it up and give it a messy texture. Sometimes it helps to pull the hair tie down a little more and then pull the braid apart to make it loose.

So first up we created a fishtail bun, and secondly a fishtail ponytail:

If you’d like to see how we created these looks, watch our tutorial below:
