Fishtail Braid | Hair Tutorial

Supplies for your own fishtail braid:

• Comb
• Hairtie

Step 1: Prep the locks.

You will begin any hairstyle by ensuring your hair is tangle free by combing it out. Fishtail braids can be difficult to make look neat with curly hair, so pre-straighten curls. If the hair is dry and has a lot of fly-aways, you might want to work a small amount of smoothing serum through the locks.

Step 2: Sectioning.

Decide what area you would like the braid, and section the hair into 2 equal parts.

Step 3: Beginning the braid.

Gather a small piece of hair from the outside of one section, and cross it over to the center of the opposing section.  Be certain to use SMALL sections of hair, too large and it will look like a standard 3 strand braid.

Step 4: And again, and again, and again.

Repeat step 3 on the opposite side, and repeat! Really, it’s that simple.

Step 5: Tie it off.

Once you have reached the point at which you’d like to end the braid, simply tie off with a hair elastic.

See, fishtail braids are much simpler than you might have originally thought!  And with practice, this braid will take you no time at all. Enjoy your fabulous new look and in no time you will be able to fishtail as fast as a regular braid.
