Hair By Rodney Cutler For Cutler/Redken

Famed celeb hairstylist Rodney Cutler for Cutler/Redken along with David Dalrymple complemented the ultra stylish and super glam looks designed by the queen of costume designing with stunning braided fishtail updos.

Cutler pushed the envelope in hair styling creating the perfect youthful fishtail-ed updo. The edgy hairstyle played on Patricia’s eye for sophisticated fashion.

Cutler explained “The high fishtail braid is a fun evening looking and very wearable. We've seen so many buns up top and this is just taking it one step further."

How Cutler Created The Best Fishtail Updo

This hairstyle works best on shoulder length hair or longer which is medium in thickness.

Although the hairstyle can be created on all hair types and textures, it works best on pre-straightened hair.

Follow the steps below to re-create the Best Fishtail Updo Rodney Cutler created:

1.  Prep newly wet washed and towel blotted hair by applying Redken align 12 protective straightening lotion.

2.  Working in individual 2" sections, blow dry hair using a medium sized round boar bristle brush.

3.  Once hair is 100% dry, use fingers and/or a brush to direct all of the hair to the very top of the head.

4.  Tightly gather a top ponytail about three inches from the hair line.

5.  Secure the top ponytail with a hair friendly elastic.

6.  After securing the ponytail, pull out a small piece of hair from adjacent to the ponytail.  Wrap the hair around the pony base elastic.

7.  Secure the wraparound hair piece with a bobby pin.

8.  Create a tight fishtail braid weaving it down the length of the ponytail from the base to the very ends.

9.  Once the ponytail is completely braided, lift it and fold it up and over. Pull the braided ponytail toward the hair.
