Here's how to fishtail braid your hair:
1. Start with smooth, detangled hair. This will make the braiding process much easier.
2. Divide your hair into two sections. It's helpful to secure the rest of your hair with a hair tie so it's out of the way.
3. Take a small strand of hair from the outside of one section.
4. Cross this strand over to the other section and add it to the inside.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 with the other section. Keep crossing strands over, adding them to the inside of the opposite section.
6. Continue braiding until you reach the end of your hair.
7. Secure the braid with a hair tie.
8. Optional: Gently pull on the strands of the braid to make it appear wider and more voluminous.
Tips for a perfect fishtail braid:
* Practice makes perfect! It takes a bit of time to master the fishtail braid. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't look perfect at first.
* Use a mirror. It's helpful to see what you're doing as you braid.
* Tighten the braid as you go. This will help it stay in place and prevent it from unraveling.
* Use a hairspray to hold the braid in place.
