How do you fish tail braid?

Answer 1

This is my challenge for tonight! lol!
Put your hair in a high pony. Take half of the hair in one hand and half in the other. Using your index finger and thumb, take a small section of hair from the back of the left section and pull it around the front of that section and behind the other section. Then switch sides and do the same thing. The whole time as you are braiding you know to hold on to the hair with the hands and finger and thumb, all at the same time. On this side however you will have to make sure that the first side doesn't slip out and you have to kinda tuck it behind and pull to tighten it. As you are going down the hair make sure you occasionally look at what the hair is doing and if the sections look uniform in size. As you are making the fishtale you will see that the upper part is fatter than the lower part. This takes good finger dexterity and patience. Good luck and I hope I have explained it enough for you to understand. God bless.

Answer 2

1.Part your hair down the center. Beginning on the right side of your part at your forehead, twist a one-inch section of hair away from your face.

2.Use a comb to separate a 1/2-inch section right below the first section along your face and twist that piece away from your face, combining it with the first piece.

3.Continue adding 1/2-inch pieces along your hairline down to your neck. Use a clip or a bobby pin to hold the hair in place at the nape of your neck.

4.Repeat the twisting on the left side, starting at your forehead.

5.When you reach the nape of your neck, unclip the right side and hold both the left and right sides in two separate sections.

6.Pull a 1/2-inch section of hair from the right section and add it to the left section. Repeat with a piece from the left section, adding it to the right section.

7.Continue adding 1/2-inch pieces down to the ends and secure with an elastic.
