How to Create a Beautiful Fishtail Braid

Despite its complex appearance, the fishtail braid uses only two sections of hair, making it surprisingly achievable for beginners.

✂️Divide all your hair into two equal sections instead of three
✂️Take a thin strand from the outside of the left section
✂️Cross this thin strand over to join the right section
✂️Repeat from the right side, taking a thin strand to the left section
Continue alternating sides until you reach the end and secure with elastic
