How to Create the Chunky Fishtail Ponytail
Gather hair into a sleek ponytail, smoothing base with a strong hold sculpting gel, like Nexxus Exxtra Hold Sculpting Gel. Use our fishtail braid tutorial to create your chunky fishtail ponytail. If needed, you can prep the length go your hair with a dry shampoo like TRESemmé Fresh & Clean Dry Shampoo to remove any excess grease so your braid has a clean-looking, matte finish and texture.

With this hairstyle, there’s no need to tie up any loose ends. Keep the ends of your braid free for an edgy touch. To prevent the entire braid from unraveling even further, secure with a mini hair elastic. Enhance the fluffy look of this braid by pancaking. Simply tug the outer parts of the braid gently until you get the width you desire. In this case, the bigger the better. It’s all about making a stylish statement with your hair.
To elevate this look, feel free to adorn your crown with a fancy hair accessory. Go simple or pile on the glitz! We like the idea of wearing this runway look for formal events like weddings and galas.
