  • Hair How-To: Fishtail Braid

    The summer heat means pulling your hair out of your face, but where to put it?  In a braid, of course!  But, it doesn't have to be just any old braid this season - you can do a fishtail braid.  I love wearing my hair in this style.  It is a simple way (really!) to make drab hair fabulous.  Once you master the method, you will be able to make fishtail braids quickly and with ease. 

    Step 1: Divide the hair you want to braid into two equal sections.

    Step 2: Start the fishtail braid by holding the right section with your right hand. Then, using your left hand, pick up a small chunk of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the inside of the right section.

    Step 3: Repeat on the other side. Hold the left section in your left hand. Use your right hand to pick up a small chunk of hair from the outer right section and cross it over to the inside of the left section.

    Step 4: Continue picking up small sections and crossing them over until you reach the ends of your hair.

    Step 5: Secure with an elastic and spray the braid with a little shine spray to seal in moisture and boost shine. Now you're all set!
