How to Fishtail Braid – Beginner Friendly Hair Tutorial

Fishtail braids are the epitome of summer. Everything about them screams fun, beach, and playful. After all, they are named after something aquatic! Fishtail braids are amazing because they look way more complicated than they actually are. The process is surprisingly easy and once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to do one on the go with no mirror.

Start by taking a section of your hair (or all of your hair for a full braid look) and split that section two sections. Take just a little bit of hair from one section and move it to the inside part of the second section, making sure that you’re holding all of the hair that you just moved to the second section with the second section. Repeat on the other side. Make sure that you keep the pieces small enough to not accidentally create three sections, leading to a standard braid.

The video tutorial above will help if it’s hard to visualize! Seriously, you’ll get it in no time.

In terms of variations on this style, the possibilities are endless. You can add small fishtail braids to loose hair, fishtail braid all of your hair to the back or to the side, create fishtail buns, or go wherever your imagination takes you.
