Continue braiding along the entire length. As you braid, release some strands to reduce the length. Repeat the same process with the other section of hair.

- divide the hair into two parts
- take a small strand of hair from each section in turn and move it in the opposite direction
- Once you've finished braiding, secure it with a miniature elastic band that matches your hair color.
A fishtail braid can be part of a formal hairstyle. Braid the front section of hair, keeping it away from your face. The rest of your hair can be braided or left loose. Fishtail braids look beautiful in formal hairstyles with artificial flowers, rhinestones, and gemstone hairpins.
#7 Mickey Mouse hairstyle for long hair
The Mickey Mouse hairstyle looks great with both casual and formal looks. This hairstyle pairs beautifully with summer outfits, paired with short polka-dot skirts, colorful T-shirts, and blouses.
To create this hairstyle you will need:
- part your hair in half
- secure the hair on one side into an ear shape using elastic bands and clips
- wrap a thin strand of hair around the elastic and secure it at the back with a hair clip
Use Mickey Mouse, checkered, and polka dot themed accessories to create your hairstyle.
