Have you always wanted to try a fishtail braid but weren’t sure what to do?


Here is your opportunity to have a go at one! In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a half-up fishtail braid.

Tools and materials:

  • Hair elastic
Separating hair

1. Separate hair

Start with two strands at the back of your head.

Crossing hair

2. Cross over hair

Next, take a little bit of hair from the outer edge and cross it over to the other strand.

3. Cross over hair from other side

Then do the same thing but from the other side. Take a little bit of hair from the outer edge and cross it over to the other side.

4. Continue

Continue this process all the way to the bottom of your hair or an inch up from the bottom if you prefer.


At all times, you should be working with two strands and crossing some hair from the outer edge over.


Tie your hair with an elastic once you reach the bottom.
