Heads or Fishtails?


         
         Fishtail braids are everywhere nowadays and celebrities like Kendall Jenner make them look effortlessly chic. This braiding style adds a pulled together yet edgy vibe to your look and can be worn dressed up or down because of it's intricate detail. Plus, even if it's a little messy, it still looks good!

         If you plan to fishtail your hair before going out, I suggest straightening your hair first; This way your braid comes out nice & neat. For a more relaxed daytime look, I usually just use my natural curly hair, or braid it while wet. Here are my steps for fishtail braiding:



         Step 1: Divide your hair into 2 sections.                                                                                   Step 2: Take a strand from the right end. 

  
Step 3: Bring the strand over into the middle. 

*CUTE-TIP: When it comes to fishtail braids, the thinner strands you use- the better it will look; Thicker strands create a more normal braid. *


<< Step 4: Now take a strand from the outside of the left section, while tightly holding onto the strand from the right side. 



Step 5: Bring the left strand into the middle and over the right strand. >>




<< Step 6: Grab the strand that was on the right side and merge it with the larger left side section. 


Step 7: Repeat! And make sure you do it very tightly. >>




Now you're done & ready to hit the town!
