Whoever said ponytails are basic hasn't factored in looks like this. Tease strands to create volume on the crown then fasten locks at the back of the head with an elastic. Weave a small section into a fishtail braid before finishing with a voluminous pony. Backcomb the loose ends for extra body.
Look closely because these aren't standard fishtail braids. This look features reverse fishtail braids. No, the plait isn't any more complicated to do. You just have to wrap the hair in a different direction so the V-shape the hair makes points up rather than down.

Twist and Braid
A gorgeous braid has a good start and a good finish. This half updo begins with a twist before the ends are crossed to form a fishtail braid. The beachy waves increase the summer vibes.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the look of the braid that we forget about the rest of our hair. Think about the entire look. This low side braid shows off a hint of bedhead texture in pieces not in the tail. The texture plus braid has an effortless vibe that's perfect for lazy summer days.

Side Braid 2.0
Freshen up side braids by swapping the standard braid for a reverse fishtail. Gently pull the braid after securing it to make hair look extra thick without the fuss of extensions. The undone finish camouflages any parts of the braid that might be a bit wonky.
