Style Detail :

Unlike your traditional 3-Strand weaved braid, the Fishtail braid is a simple yet chic and refreshing twist on tradition.

Get The Look :

Create a low, side ponytail that is somewhat loose. Divide the hair in the ponytail into two even sections. Grab a small section of hair (about ¼”) from the back of the right side. Add this section to the left side by folding it over with your left hand. Now take your left pinky and grab a ¼” strand from the back left section. Fold it over to your right section. Make sure that these first few strands are tighter so that you get comfortable with the process and nothing falls loose. Continue weaving strands from the left and right. Just an FYI, the fishtail effect looks better when you weave thinner pieces rather than thicker ones. It may take longer, but it’s worth it. Once you’re at a comfortable place to end your braid, secure it with an elastic band or accessory of your choice. Finally, carefully cut the elastic band that was used to secure your ponytail. We know that it’s difficult to visualize the process, so our good friends over at the Beauty Depot helped us out with this tutorial.
