First, we’re going to give you step-by-step instructions on how to fishtail braid, then, we’re going to show you how to spice it up!

Step 1: Part your hair into two even sections.

Step 2: Take a small strand of hair (preferably from underneath so that it wraps around the entire section) from one section and bring it over to the other side. Make sure your strands of hair aren’t too large, or it will look more like a regular braid!

Step 3: Do the same thing with the other section.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 & 3 until the braid is finished.

Step 5: To make your braid a little more full looking, lighting tug the edges of the braid to widen it.
