1. After detangling or combing your hair, divide it into pigtails. Clip one section out of the way while you work to make it easier.
2. Split your hair in half, gripping both sections in each hand. Then, with your pointed finger, pull a small piece of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over, joining it on the inside of the right section.
3. Repeat on the other side, pulling a piece of hair from the outside of the right section and crossing it over to the inside of the left section.
4. Keep braiding to the ends, then secure your fishtail braid with an elastic. Unclip the other half of your hair and repeat until you have two fishtail braids.
5. Then, fatten up the braids by tugging on the edges of the fishtails for an intentionally undone look.
