I've had a lot of people ask me how to do a fishtail braid. It is honestly the easiest braid to learn. They are here to stay for a while so you might as well learn now! I've included a video to get you started...
Start with just 2 sections, unlike the 3 sections used for a traditional braid. Take a piece from the outside section of one side, and cross it over to combine it to the section on the opposite side. Repeat until you've reached the end or until you've created your desired result!
