In the goldfish tail hairstyle, textured and moist hair, delicate and intricate twist braids on both sides behind the ears, paired with a frizzy and fluffy ponytail, casually revealing attention to detail, exudes a laid-back Bohemian vibe!
Compared to the classic low ponytail, this high or half-up style is more suitable for hot summer days. The style and thickness of the braids can also create different looks, such as combining highlighted and thick twist braids with a high ponytail for a punk style, or adding intricate patterns to the braids for a luxurious and elegant temperament.
①② When the hair is about 80% dry, apply gel to your fingers and comb the hair from top to bottom to create a textured and moist look. Note that this step should be done with your fingers, not a comb, and definitely not a fine-toothed comb, as it can ruin the natural texture of the curls. Once the hair is completely dry, divide it evenly into two halves from the center of the back of the head. Let's learn how to braid a Bohemian-style goldfish braid ponytail together!
③④ Starting from above the ear, braid one side of the hair along the hairline into a twist braid or a loose French braid, gradually incorporating the remaining hair into the braided section to secure it close to the scalp. Braid until reaching the nape of the neck, then repeat the same process on the other side, and finally gather both braids together.
⑤⑥ Use a hair tie to secure the remaining hair of the braid into a ponytail (leave a small strand of hair on one side separately, which will be used later). Note that the height of the ponytail can be chosen according to different styles, with the traditional goldfish tail being a low ponytail. Next, spray a little hairspray on the ponytail section and backcomb it with a fine-toothed comb to create a fluffy goldfish tail hairstyle.
⑦⑧ Gently loosen the braided part with your fingers to make it look more voluminous and less stiff. Then, wrap the small strand of hair left out from the previous step around the base of the ponytail's hair tie, covering and hiding it to create a more refined overall look.
