Long Fishtail Braid

To create a full fishtail, herringbone or two strand braid, follow the same steps creating a two strand over braid, but start at the front of the hair in a triangle section.


To create a full braid, follow the same steps for creating a two strand over braid described above, but start at the front of the hair in a triangle section.

One of the great things about the fishtail braid is that depending on how you position your hands, the braid will change the way that it looks from tight against the head to loose and full.

To get the soft and full look that is shown above and to the right the hands need to be held as much as 6 inches away from the head as the braid is being done.

The hair should be braided close to the scalp until about halfway from the hairline. Then the braid should be created at least 6 inches away from the scalp. This will give the braid a very soft and draped look.

You have option to finish with a tight herringbone braid and then tuck it up and under the hair. The tucked braid should be pinned securely. This gives the hair a type of soft updo look that is very elegant and romantic.

Yasunari Kawabata, the first Japanese to win the nobel prize (1968) once wrote "If for no other reason than to preserve traditional hairstyles, the geisha's existance is vital. I wonder how and when these hairstyles developed."
"Japanese men, as a rule, feel about a woman's neck and throat about the same way as men in the west feel about a woman's legs. This is why geisha wear the collars of their kimono so low in the back...I suppose that its like a woman in Paris wearing a short skirt." Sayuri, in 'Memoirs of a Geisha' by Aurthur Golden.

MTV' s Style Icon Lauren Conrad’s Fabulous Hairstyles

Lauren Conrad’s rise to fame on MTV’s The Hills has made her a style icon. As the popular trendy woman every girl aspires to be, LC now boasts a wide range of fans imitate her fashion sense and gorgeous hair. In fact, her sexy blonde locks are quite deserving of some extra attention.

LC's Fabulous Hairstyle


The star has somehow managed to look fabulous in a seemingly endless array of hairstyles. When tying her hair back, Lauren Conrad often sports long, sleek ponytails or sexy, messy buns. She also uses just enough hair accessories to add a touch of style without overdoing it. Her favorite add-ons seem to be headbands, which provide a touch of color that stands out against her golden hair. When wearing her hair down, Conrad has shown that she can easily go from curly to straight.



Rather than go for the super-cropped bob and pixie cuts many Hollywood ladies are sporting, LC chose a unique style suited to her own tastes. Conrad also played with the color of her hair, choosing to go for a lighter shade of blonde that with less golden hues. Still, though, this star manages to look flawless no matter what.

Celebrities With Chignon Hairstyle

There are tons of videos on youtube and elsewhere that offer terrific instructions for sweet little updos---just check out our Easy Updo Video Playlist. It may take you forever to get a perfect hair-bow like Paris Hilton's, but do you really want to look like Paris?

Paris Hilton's Oscar-Worthy Chignon


Right now, the sweetest looks are just a little messy. At the 80th Annual Academy Awards , all the A-listers sported sweet, carefree trendrils streaming from their effortless-looking updos. Think Jen Garner :

Jen Garner's Oscar-Worthy Chignon


While you know she spent hours in a salon chair, this is a look easily duplicated in a number of minutes (providing you have enough hair to pull it off. I obviously don't) . It's just a low, messy chignon. This look will work best on long, gently wavy hair.

1. Give yourself a high side part on whichever side of your head you think looks best. To get hair to fall the right way, Jen's stylist probably blew sections dry starting closest to the scalp, pinning each section back until he'd finished.


2. If you have stick straight hair, you can now use a curler on the ends of your hair. Try for big, loose curls--tight, sausage-like curls are a little too prom, even if that's your ultimate destination. Trust me.

3. Gather hair into a low, loose ponytail (leave a few waves to frame the face for Jen's look). Leave the elastic relatively loose on the hair, and use bobby pins to secure it to your head.

4. Loop individual sections of hair around your ponytail's base, pinning loops into a loose bun (make sure you use bobby pins the same color as your hair). If you have too many loose ends once you've pinned all sections, don't fret. It's supposed to look sort of messy. It seems that Jen's stylist pinned the loose ends beneath the ponytail base, so if you have enough length to tuck them under, go ahead
