Different Fishtail Braid Hairstyles You Should Try Now
Braids are among the go-to hairstyles when it’s hot and humid. They keep hair off your face and neck, yet they are stylish that you don’t look haggard or hulas.

Fishtail Braid Tutorial: 6 Easy Steps to Create This Hairstyle
Wash hair
Wash your hair with Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Shampoo and Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Conditioner to keep it soft, frizz-free, and manageable. This way, your hair will always look beautiful, whether it’s styled or not.
Blow dry
Let your hair dry naturally for a while. When hair is already half damp, spritz TONI&GUY Heat Protection Mist to protect your hair from heat damage. Then, blow dry your tresses
Tie it
Put your hair in a low ponytail to prepare it for braiding. You can straighten your ponytail using a flat iron to make hair easier to braid and style. Secure your ponytail with an elastic.
Start braiding
Divide hair into two sections and label them Sections A and B in your mind. Take a small part from Section A, cross it over Section A, and place it in between Sections A and B. Then, take a small part from Section B and do the same. It’s just like creating a regular braid, only with small sections of hair at a time. Hold your hair tightly as you progress to ensure a tight braid.
Cut!
Continue braiding until you reach the tips of your hair. Secure your braid with an elastic. Then, take a pair of scissors and cut the elastic that holds your ponytail (yes, the first one). Then, gently pull your braid at the sides to loosen it up and add volume.
That's it!
You’re done! Look laidback but still chic with a fishtail braid. You can style your hair like this when you’re about to do a light workout. You can also sport this hairstyle when you want to go for strolls at the mall or get ice cream at the park together with your friends. It’s a notch up your usual braid and takes your look to a whole new level as well.
