The Three Plaits

Carrying on from my other post (The Three Buns), the second half of the lesson we started on plaits. We had another three to practise which were: French plait, fishtail and a normal plait.

So the first plait I started with was the easier one which was the normal plait. To do this look you divide your hair into three pieces. Then place them over each other and you then make a simple plait.

The second plait I did was a fish tail, this is my favourite plait out of the three plaits. To do a fish plait,you divide the hair into two sections. From one side you take a piece of hair from the side and place it onto the other section of hair. Repeating the same action with the other side, you repeat this till you run out of hair.
I really like how simple it is but you can see a to of detail with this plait. It would be great for bridal look.

The final plait was a french plait. Out of the three, this was my least favourite. To create this plait, you need to divide your hair into a section, then at the top of the section divide it into three sections and start it like a normal plait. Then from the left (or what side you started with) you pick up a section of hair and add it to the left strand of hair. You continue to do this on both sides till you run out of hair. 

When comparing all three plaits, I enjoy doing but found that (and still do after practising it) french plait is my least favourite. I found that I struggled trying to make the plait tight and ended up having parts hanging out. I personally enjoyed doing a fishtail because of the great detail you would get and how simple it was. With pieces of ribbon in it, it would be a great design for a wedding or Elizabethan look.
