Fishtail Braids
Fishtail braids are an elegant way to add texture and interest to a traditional ponytail. This hairstyle takes the standard pigtail one step further and looks stunning on girls of all ages. To achieve this look, create a low-side ponytail and secure it with an elastic. Add two ribbons twice the length of her hair; bring their ends together and form into tight fishtail braid resembling a conch shell. This stylish look is ideal for formal events and special occasions. To achieve this style, begin by brushing her hair and parting it down the middle before dividing it into three sections and forming fishtail braiding by adding the right section under the middle, then the left. Add hair as necessary until reaching the endpoint.
Twisted Braids
If your girl enjoys wearing waterfall braids but gets tired of her look after a few days, try this stunning twist version. The style is effortless yet intricate-looking. Add drama and uniqueness to her natural twist hairstyle by twisting in some strands of contrasting color for an eye-catching effect, perfect for summer parties and photoshoots with friends. This will bring drama and individuality. Dramatic long twists are beautiful styles but may be better for swimming or physical activities such as cycling. Try tying them into a high chunky bun, fancy half updo, or simple ponytail instead; for something more practical while still looking stylish. A hair tie that matches or contrasts with your hair color will further personalize the look!
Braided Buns
