Hair 101: Nina Dobrev Sleek Fishtail

Nina Dobrev

Nina Dobrev has totally turned the casual fishtail into a sleek and edgy style perfect for special events. I lpve that Nina wore the fishtail at the back of her head right on the nape of her neck which stands out amongst the trend of side hairdos. The do' also has slight volume at the top of her head a distinct middle part. All you need to recreate the look is a comb and/or brush, a ponytail holder, a rubber band, shine spray, and serum or edge control if needed.

1. Begin by making a small middle part and lightly teasing the top of your hair.
2. Use an edge control to smooth out edges if needed and/or a serum to make the hair slick and sleek.
3. Pull the hair back into a ponytail at the nape of your neck.
4. Begin fishtail braiding the hair in the ponytail. Click here to learn how to fishtail braid.
5. Secure the end of the fishtail with a rubberband.

Add to the look by wearing a pair of statement earrings! You can even go all out like Nina Dobrev and create a smokey eye with a grey shadow and black liner. Let me know if you try out the look!
