With prominent advantages such as simplicity, ease of implementation, not taking much time, creating a gentle, attractive feeling. Surely, you should note down the information on how to braid fishbone hair below.
This is a braiding style that most girls know, even when they were students, many of them had their hair braided in fishbone style, especially when combined with the white ao dai of female students, maybe apart from the loose bun style, the fishbone braid is the most suitable “mode”. To have a traditional fishbone braided hair, you should follow the instructions below:
– Step 1: Divide the hair in half
- Divide the hair into 2 equal parts

A small note before braiding the hair, no matter which hairstyle you have, if you have time, you should lightly curl your hair to create a natural and flowing feeling when braiding.
– Step 2: Start braiding the hair from the nape
Then, continue to take a strand of hair from the base of the left side of the hair you have just taken. Note that the strands added later should be of equal thickness. The hair is braided starting from both the left and right sides of the face, gradually going down to make the braided hair more even and beautiful.

– Step 3: Pull the third strand of hair you just added to the right and pull the strand in the middle to the left.
At this time, the middle strand (the second strand) is under the third strand, and the third strand, along with the first strand, is held by the right hand. Insert the third strand into the first strand to make it one strand.
– Step 4: Take another strand of hair from the base of the right side of the hair and pull it across to the left. Press it onto the first strand and insert it into the second strand. At this time, the left hand holds the newly added strand of hair, and the right hand holds the strand of hair in the middle.

– Step 5: Take the hair on the left side and continue to repeat the steps. Then move on to take the hair on the right side, switch sides to take the hair until all the hair is braided.
– Step 6: Tie the hair with a hair tie, if the bun is too loose, you can use hairpins to fix it.
