How to: Faux Fishtail Bun





        Hello! This tutorial is a quick, pretty bun made by using my Faux Fishtail Bubble Braid, or the vortex braid, as the boyfriend called it, that I posted in a previous entry. Let's get started!

What you will need. Small elastic hair ties, a comb, and bobby pins.  
Step One. Create the Faux Fishtail Bubble Braid. If you are unsure how to create this look, check out my tutorial here. 





Step Two. Wrap the braid around the base of the ponytail, forming a donut shape, as shown above. 




Step Three. Pin the bun in place.






And there you have it! I hope you like this tutorial and give it a try! I would love to have your feedback and for suggestions on more hair tutorials that you would like to see! Thanks for reading!

How to: Faux Fishtail Braid






Hello, Everyone! Today's tutorial is on my Faux Fishtail Bubble Braid! It's super simple and quick to do and adds a unique look that can be worn as a casual or fancy do! Let's get started!

What you need is a comb and a few small elastic hair bands, depending on the length of your hair.



Step One. Comb your hair to the side and put it into a ponytail. Optional Tip: Tease the hair before pulling it up to give your hair more body and volume.



Step Two. From the base of the ponytail, tie another elastic about 2 inches from the base and section it off, so to speak, as shown in the picture.



Step Three. With the section you made, split it in half and grab the bottom part of the ponytail that's free. Take your other hand, keep the split open, and pull the bottom of the ponytail through the loop you created.



Step four. Once you pull the hair through the loop, it should look like this. Next, add another elastic about two inches from the last one. You will repeat everything you just did until you reach the end of your hair. 










 

Step five. Once you finish, go back and just slightly tug at each section to add more volume and body.




That finishes this tutorial! I hope you like it and try it! Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!
