You will first need to decide where the plait is going, this how to is based on a full head but is generally the same technique wherever you want to do it.
- Take a small section at the front of the head and split it into three sections like you would do with a normal plait, plait it about 3 times then you can start taking sections of hair from the sides
- Take your first section from the front and join it to one of the side sections of your plait and cross it over in the middle, repeat on the other side
- When you take your next sections take them from the middle of the head right near where your plait is, this will prevent the hair being patchy once you have finished
- Ensure that the hair is tight throughout so it doesn't fall out or look lose and messy
Fishtail Plait
- Split the hair into two sections
- Take a small section from one side and bring it over to the other, repeat this on the other side
- It may seem like its taking a while, especially if the client has long hair but the smaller the sections the better
- Don't plait it as tight as a french plait as it won't look as good
- Repeat the steps until you have plaited the whole head and secure at the end
- Brush all the hair into a neat ponytail and secure it
- The hair will be divided into 4 sections altogether to create the bun so if the client has thin or short hair backcomb it to give it a little volume
- Take the first section and finger curl it around from the end until you get to the scalp, secure with a kirby grip
- Repeat this on the other 3 sections which will leave you with small gaps inbetween each section
- Use a hair slide to lightly move the hair around to cover the gaps
- Once complete you can set with a little hairspray to ensure it stays in place
