1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works
In my salon chair, I love working with clients who want to try out a new style.
A Dutch fishtail braid is perfect for those who want a look that’s both effortless and whimsical.
I always tell my clients that the key to this style is to create a seamless, flowing look.
Start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles or knots.
Then, begin a regular braid, but with each new piece of hair, drop it and move on to the next section, making a ‘fishtail’ pattern.
This will create a more undone, piece-y look that’s perfect for everyday wear.
