Things You'll Need:
- Rubber band or hair elastic
- Hair spray
- Bobby pins
- Hair brush
-
Step 1
As you get toward the bottom of the fishtail braid, continue criss-crossing sections of hair until you're out of hair to work with.
-
Step 2
Hold the fishtail braid in one hand. Tie an elastic or rubber band around with the other hand.
-
Step 3
Tie it tightly to prevent the hair from slipping out of the braid. Let the braid fall down your back if you prefer to wear it that way.
-
Step 4
Tuck the braid tail up under the fishtail if you did a full fishtail in your hair. This will give you a more polished look. You can either tuck the entire braid under or half of it, depending on the look you want.
-
Step 5
Secure the braid with bobby pins. Spray the entire head with hairspray.
-
Step 6
Wrap the fishtail braid around itself to create a bun. This works best if you braided a ponytail, not a full fishtail. Secure the hair in place with bobby pins and spray with hairspray.
