The Fishtail
Sonia Kashuk Perfectly Neutral
Braids are very in right now, and so are fishtails! A fishtail is just a different kind of braid only using two strands instead of three. The final result resembles an actual fish tail. . .which is where it got it’s name.
You’ll notice that I’m wearing my clip in extensions in this video. I will try to research and find the name of the brand, but it’s been so long since I’ve bought them that I have forgotten the brand! I never wear these unless I’m trying a new hairstyle in my bathroom for these Monday tutorials. I like them, as far as extensions go, but I don’t like the added weight to my head.
My hair is straightened in this video prior to adding the extensions, and I have a tutorial for that here!

This is fabulous friend! This is definitely something I have to try.
I actually styled my hair in a fishtail this morning…i think it’s a more “grown up” version of the braids I used to love when I was little…plus I love not having my hair in my face. Perfect for the windy day we have here. 🙂
Just finished watching then ran into the bathroom to fishtail my hair. Love it! Thanks.
Great look. I have been loving the side twists you do so will have to add this to my list 🙂

Wow!!! This is another favorite I just added to my list! 😉
I absolutely love this and am going to try it for work tomorrow morning!
PS – the long straight hair really changes your look – I really like it!
I love this!! I’ve been considering getting extentions so I can do things like this. My hair has been in the “in between stage” of short and long for what seems like forever.
very cute! i hope i can figure this one out!
Love this! My hair is almost long enough for this…I’ve been thinking of buying some clip in extensions because I want to try this now.
Thank you for the tutorial, I found a picture tutorial on pinterest and got it ALL wrong. So thanks for clarifying. Also I love those earrings, bummer that they aren’t available.
best fishtail tutorial i’ve seen-by far! thanks kate! 🙂
Just bought the same scarf but in the pinks, love it!
I would love to know the type of clip in extentions that you use ! I hope that you will be able to figure it out and post that information soon :)Until then.. I am patiently ( sorta of – lol ) waiting..
Whoa, the fishtail braid is very cool! I have a hard time with a regular braid in my hair, I don’t think I am coordinated enough for this, haha!
Oh how I wish my hair was long enough, I love the fishtail!

Very cute! I didn’t realize your hair was so long until seeing w/out curls!
I have become ridiculously addicted to your blog . . i watch your tutorials, I buy make-up based upon your recommendations and I find myself daily thinking “what would Kate do” . . . ok that last one is a bit extreme. I’m curious if you can make your tutorial videos bigger . . . maybe its just my comp but they’re so small, anyway to give the option of expanding?
I can’t seem to find you via Formspring but I have a hair question. Could your hair style still work with bangs all the way across your forehead? I’ve always had bangs all the way across and it would seem weird to have them pushed sideways.
Thanks for sharing!!
We love this! Just featured you on our blog ; )
consider bringing those earings back!! super cute 🙂
Thank you for sharing! I have been dying to know how to do this style. I love it! I am a dental hygienist and I wear my hair in a side braid practically every day. I can’t wait to integrate this into my routine! P.S. love the earrings!
I love it!
thanks!
Thank you so much for putting this up! I’ve been trying for so long to do this and I could never find anything useful online until this! Thanks! 🙂
I have watched other tutorials that I still did not understand………thank you! I did this today on my 9 year old, looked great!!
I love all your tutorials!!! I finally have long hair (I’ve been growing it out for 4 years), but because I always had short hair I have had no idea what to do with my hair! It is always in a pony. Now that I have found your blog I have been able to figure out how to do my hair! You explain and show everything perfectly! Awesome!
mine was a success! My hair is down to my belly button so it looks beautiful! thanks for the video!
Do you have a video for a French fishtail?
If you hair isnt long enough for a fishtail like that, you can take a small section from the front, fishtail it, then pull that(and the rest of your hair) into a ponytail.
Thank you for this!! I have watched other tutorials and they didn’t make much sense but you explained it so well. I got it on my first try and I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Oh my gosh I did it! Woo hoo! And on my first try, too! Thanks so much. 🙂
This is awesome! You just made it so easy to do a fishtail! Thank you!!!
The best advice I have for doing a fishtail plait is the following: 1) It’s much much easier to start with a ponytail, 2) It’s also much easier to start with wet hair, and 3) Think of if as “weaving,” more than anything. Bring one section “over” the side, and “under” the other side.
I have short hair too…what kind of extensions do you have?
I’ve always wanted to teach myself and found this! Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve always loved the way that this sort of braid looked but never knew how to do it!
I visit each day a few websites and blogs to read content, except this web site gives feature based writing.
