Stole alllllll this from A Beautiful Mess. I've always loved fishtales but some how missed the step in girl childhood where they all learned how. I'm going to be referring back to this many a morning:) would you be bold enough to do the yarn and ribbons style? If so, please come show me when you do it!
How To Style a Fishtail Braid
We love the look of fishtail braids! This trend is incredibly easy to style, even on your own hair. Kinsey and I photographed the steps so you can try it out for yourself...
Here's how to style a fishtail braid... 1. Part your hair into two even sections. 2. Take a small strand of hair (preferably from underneath so that it wraps around the entire seciton) from one section and bring it over to the other side. Make sure your strands of hair aren't too large, or it will look more like a regular braid! 3. Do the same thing with the other section. 4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until the braid is finished. 5. To make your braid a little more full looking, lighting tug the edges of the braid to widen it.
Next, we had a crazy idea... weave pieces of yarn into the braid? FUN!
1. Tie yarn to one layer of hair at the root. We teased the roots a little bit to help the yarn stay. 2. Braid the pieces in with the same technique as seen above. Be sure to vary the colors of yarn. 3. Trim pieces of yarn and tie off with yarn.
