upside down tail plait

[giggles mum]

Can anyone do these? I mean where you plait the hair sort of under rather than over? I had a go tonight and it really didn't work - the plait was upside down, but it was wiggling from side to side and tufts of hair were sticking out all over the place. I didn't seem to have enough hands!

Can anyone give me step by step instructions please?

 

[Solstar]

hmm.this goin to be gud.. iv always wanted to know how to do this

 

[showjump2003]

Tried and failed a few times!

 

[carthorse]

Instead of adding and crossing on top you just pass it under.You will need to practice to get it even but give it a go

 

[giggles mum]

that's what I did - seems it's just a case of practice makes perfect!

 

[georgiegirl2]

I dont have a clue what your talking about! Does anyone have a picture im intrigued! The only way i know of plaiting a tail is like a french plait!

 

[carthorse]

If you add the hair and put it under instead of over you get the plait on the outside which looks really nice when done well and tighter

 

[dingle12]

do you mean a plait that looks really tight sitting on top of the hair?????

 

[giggles mum]

Yes.

 

[dingle12]

ive always wanted to know how you do that.

Its one of those things I can do perfectly - years of practise on my own hair and others LOL! Do you want me to take a pic tomorrow?

 

[Weezy]

Or I could do one on my own hair now? LOL!

 

[giggles mum]

I know what it looks like, I just can't do it!

I'd love a pic if you think it would help, thanks!

 

[Weezy]

...and I just plaited my hair for you

Its easy peasy so long as you can do a standard french plait you can do an upside down one!

 

[spaniel]

Its the only way I can plait!! I always thought I was a freak but it seems I could be in demand!

 

[giggles mum]

arrrr but I can't!

Think I'll just have to keep trying!!

 

[clipclop]

Yup, keep practicing

 

[rrose]

no i cant do it!

wish i could.... looks alot smarter!

 

[virtual]

One of these?

It went a bit wonky in the middle! I find them easier than normal plaits, but can do both.

 

[Allykat]

I can do them, but cant really explain how other than you take the hair underneath rather than over.

Keep practicing

 

[vicijp]

When you are plaiting a mane do it backwards like you will in a tail plait. Not only will the plaits be tighter and sit better, it will give you good practise.
When you are happy doing that, then attempt a tail.
I taught myself to do that when I was about 10, and cant plait 'forwards' now.

 

[MagicMelon]

Do you not just plait by crossing the hair UNDER rather than over each other?

 

[Weezy]

yep!

 

[Banshee]

Has anyone found how to do this, I just saw a demo but I still can't quite work it out.

If there are any videos out there it would be fabby.

 

[beehorses]

Do you mean like this?

 

[EllieandGeorge]

I can but they take me ages haha

 

[xxMozlarxx]

Used to do this all the time year ago..on horses and daughters!! Tried again recently when I started showing again and can I do it....no!!! Damn annoying as they look great!! Will try the mane trick thanks for that

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

I can do it one way on horses buit no on myself and visa versa does kill my arms french plating my hair

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

Its funny to do on myself i prefer on horses

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

I can't do them ... yet! I will get around to teaching myself when I have the time but when you have anywhere between 6 and 12 horses all needing dolled up at the races time isn't something you have to play with!
