Fishtail Braid

Warning: The fishtail is very difficult to do to yourself, it is possible, yet will serve as a much greater challenge to carry out than the simple braid. However, it is so easy to do to other people! It only takes like 2 minutes to make!

Step 1: Divide your/your friend’s hair into two equal pieces. You should now have your right hand section of hair and the left hand section of hair.
Step 2: You begin the braid by taking one thin strand of hair from either the right or left hand section of hair.
Step 3: Bring that strand over to the other section.
Step 4: Take a strand from the other side (the section you did not just take a strand from). This strand once again must be a strand that is on the end of your hair (an outermost strand) and bring this strand to the opposite side of your hair.
Step 5: Keep rotating sides and continue taking thin strands that are on the outside of your hair and bringing them to the opposing section of hair.

GOOD LUCK!

The fishtail braid is one of our favorites! Its so simple, so efficient, and just looks so great. We wear it ALL THE TIME! Whenever I wake up with my hair frizzy or knotty, I throw a quick fishtail in my hair, go to school and get TONS OF COMPLIMENTS. It’s great. Fishtails can also be a great look to a school prom, a wedding, parties, or just to hang out with a bunch of friends. Once you get the steps down, they’ll become so easy you can do them in your sleep.
