Always wanted to learn how to fishtail braid but thought it was too confusing? Well today I will teach you how to fishtail braid in just a few simple steps and all you will need is a hair brush, 2 hair ties and a couple of bobby pins. I have also provided pictures at the for each stage, as the steps might sound a bit confusing alone.
Step 1- Ensure you hair is all brushed out so there is no knots or tangles. This step is very important as it will make the braiding process much easier.
Step 2- Gather all your hair to you preferred side and tie into a pony tail with a small elastic. Then grab a small piece of hair and wrap it around the elastic tie and secure with a bobby pin to hide it.
Step 3- Split your pony tail into two equal sections, these will now be known as Strand 1 and 2.
Step 4- Now take a small piece from the back Strand 1 and cross over the front and add to Strand 2.
Step 5- Repeat the previous step however instead take a small piece from the back of Strand 2 and cross over the front and add to Strand 1.
From here you just repeat Step 4 and 5 until you run out of hair then secure with a hair tie. If you want a more messy, laid back look you can tug at the braid being careful not to pull layers out. But this will add more volume to the braid and give it that more 'lived in' feel.
At first it will take a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you can get it done pretty fast. It is a little extra work compared to a regular three strand braid but I think the end result is worth it.
Good luck and thanks for reading. If you know anyone who has been wanting to learn how to fishtail braid please share this with them.
