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!

I do mine like this all the time. I have to keep my hair back for work, so I a lot of different braids. You should mention that it takes a bit to get started. For the first like 6 braid pieces, it doesn't feel like anything is happening.
it seems so simple, and yet I absolutely cannot do it for the life of me.
My mom used to braid my hair like that in middle school (because that's the last time my hair was long enough) and I got a lot of compliments on it, it's a cool style...the perks of having a mom that's a hairdresser :)
i just got dizzy trying this... >.<
I'm trying really hard! I think my sections are too big.
@SamiiSaysHaii@xanga - Me. Either. I'm going to keep practicing though, 'cause it's summer.. not like I have much to do, haha XD
