CAN'T FISHTAIL BRAID? TRY THIS HACK!

Transcript

CAN'T FISHTAIL BRAID? TRY THIS HACK! Start by putting off a pie section on each side and pull the rest of the hair back into a pony so it's out of the way. And then bring those two sections together to create a triangle. Then we're going to take a really thin slice, split it in half and cross the two sections over. Take another really thin slice, split it in half and cross those two sections over. Repeat these simple steps all the way back through the section and remember to take the same side over the top each time. So for me, I'm taking the left over the top each time. So if you're right-handed, it might be easier to do the right. Once we have all the sections criss-crossed, we're going to smooth out the sides and twist them to the back. Twist each side down and away from the braid. Bring the two sections together in the back and secure with an elastic. Then we're going to use a topsy tail tool to flip it up through. For added fullness, go back and gently pull out on the braid. Finish with your favorite hairspray to give that braid a little extra hold. I can't wait for you to give this a try. Everyone will think you're a pro at fishtail braids.
