If you have long hair, the fishtail braid is a favorite for rushing mornings.It's great for an average day or to wear to a formal event.You'll be able to wear fishtail braids all day if they get a little messy.These types of braids are similar to regular braids but use 2 strands instead of 3.If you can braid, you'll be able to fishtail and create amazing hair looks.
Step 1: Divide your hair into two equal parts.
There will be a left and a right piece.
Step 2: Take a small strand of hair from the left section.
From the outside, gather it.It should be no thicker than 0.1 in.
Step 3: The strand should be pulled across the left section.
It should be moved towards the right.
Step 4: There is a thin strand under the right section.
It will become part of the right section.
Step 5: To tighten the sections, gently tug on them.
As far as they can go, move your hands up.You can always tousle it for a messier look later if you make your braid tighter.
Step 6: From the right section take a thin strand.
You can get it from the outside of the section.
Step 7: Pull the strand up across the right section.
It should be moved to the left section.
Step 8: Under the left section is where to put it.
It is in the left section.
Step 9: Continue alternating sides until you reach the end of your hair.
If you want to tie it off, leave at least 1 in of your hair unbraided.Try to use thinner strands further down.Your hair will become thinner towards the ends as a result of this.
Step 10: Attach a hair tie to your hair.
If you want to hide it, you can take a strand of hair and wrap it around a hair tie.Attach the strand with a pin.
Step 11: Rub your hands together to create a tousled braid.
If you have a lot of layers on your hair, you may want to skip this.
Step 12: There is a section of hair at the crown of your head.
It's best to keep it at eye level.It should be centered as you can.

Step 18: Pull it across the right section to the left.
Step 19: There is a thin strand under the left section.
From now on, it will be a part of the left section.
Step 20: Pull up the center section.

Step 26: Put your hair in a ponytail.
Make your ponytail as close to the base of your head as possible, but don't make it too tight.

Start with a ponytail.You can put your fingers between the nape and the elastic.The ponytail needs to be pulled through the hole.Fishtail braiding is done once you have flipped your ponytail.Try poking a flower or 2 into the hole of the topsy-turvy for a cute look.
