Fishtail Braid

This is a braid that looks very intricate and hard, but it really only takes 5 minutes. It has a beachy vibe that is very wearable for an every day look, but it is interesting enough to dress up an outfit and to make people ask how you did it. I will break it up into four easy steps.

Before you begin, divide the skirt of the hair into two equal sections. I will be referring to each section as sections 1 and 2, going from the front of the head to the back.

Step 1: Separate a very small strand of hair from section 1

(Note: If you do not use very small sections the fishtail braid will look more like a 3-strand braid. If you are just learning the process then use bigger pieces for practice.)

Step 2: Cross this strand over and join it with section 2

(If you take strands from the outside of the sections it will make the braid look more "fish-y")

Step 3:Separate a very small strand of hair from the outside of section 2.

Step 4: Cross this strand over and join it with section 1

(If you have little flyaways that stick out of the braid, don't worry about it; it's supposed to be messy!)

This is the finished look!


Happy braiding and send me a picture in the comments below of the look you want me to do next!!
