FESTIVAL HAIR STEP BY STEP: PRETTY FISHTAIL PLAIT

Unleash your inner flower-child with this prettily plaited festival hair half-updo

Achieve boho perfection this summer with a festival hairstyle that’s both free-flowing and free spirited. Creating a fishtail plait and pinning it up and out the way is a simple way to get super-cool festival hair - it’s easy to craft and easy to maintain.

Find out how to get this festival hair half-updo by following the ghd step-by-step guide. 

Here’s how to create a pretty fishtail plait


1. Create a centre parting and take a large front section

2. Split into four and braid into a fishtail plait

3. Stretch the plait for a dishevelled look and pin at back of head

step one: Create a centre parting and take a large front section

Create a centre parting in your hair. Then, from the front of your head, take a large section of hair – this will form your fishtail braid. 

step two: Split into four and braid into a fishtail plait

With the large section of hair, create four small sections and begin to braid the hair into a fishtail-style plait. 

step three: Stretch the plait and pin at back of head

To create a dishevelled look, take the plait and begin to stretch out to loosen each section of the braid – it’s totally up to you how loose to go.
