Today’s tutorial is inspired by the upcoming Prom season, and multiple reader requests for hairstyles that can be used at the dance.
We are loving Fishtail Braids right now, and Brooklyn and I wanted to show you an updo that is very unique using the fishtail as the focal point.
We like that it isn’t really a bun, but more of a chignon-like undo. This Flipped-Fishtail Braid Updo is very versatile, and can be used on girls of all ages, from teens on up to grandmothers!

If you do not know how to fishtail braid, here is my first fishtail tutorial showing you how to create one.
Want to learn how to create a Flipped-Fishtail Braid Updo? Here is your chance…
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 ponytail holder, 1 small hair elastic, Topsy Tail Tool {optional}, 4-5 bobby pins, decorative hair comb, spray wax or hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 6-8 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Begin by pulling the hair back and secure it a low ponytail with a ponytail holder {make sure to leave a few strands of hair out near the front, and curl them, to frame the face}…
- Loosen the ponytail elastic away from the head a little. Using a topsy tail tool, or your fingers, flip the ponytail down though the loosened section to create a flipped ponytail…
- Now tighten the elastic again against the head…
- Next, fishtail braid the remaining ponytail hair and secure with an elastic when you run out of hair…
- Take the end of the fishtail and tuck it back up and down through the same hole {this creates a nice bun-like updo}…
- Using bobby pins, secure the fishtail against the head so it won’t fall out or droop down through the day.
- Add an glam accessory on top of the fishtail flip to accent the updo…
- Add hairspray or spray wax {as desired}.

So my sister and I have hair that’s bordering four feet long…a lot of these hairstyles are cute, but don’t work with our hair. Is there any way you could do a different version of some of these so we could do these hairstyles as well. 🙂
Thanks!

I found my Conair Topsy Tail at Walmart (of all places, haha). I think I paid $3-$4 but you can buy them at a number of places online, such as Amazon.com.

This is really pretty but I think it would also look good if you used a lace up braid rather than a fishtail braid. 🙂
