How to Braid: French-Fishtail Braids - Hair Braiding Tutorial

SAED Hair Braiding Training - How to Braid: French-Fishtail Braids

1. Unless you were blessed with curly hair, curl your hair first to give your hair some added texture and grip. Pro tip: Mist on some hair spray before and after you curl for even more hold.
2. Next, create a deep part over the arch of one eyebrow, then divide your hair in half down the middle.
3. French-braid each side of your hair, clipping the braids in place when you reach the nape of your neck.
4. Undo the clips and three-strand braid the two sections together twice—just two passes to join them together, before switching to a fishtail braid.
5. Fishtail braid the rest of your hair together, tying off the ends with an elastic.
