How To Fishtail Braid | Q's Hairdos | Lu's Hairdos

I had a lot of requests for a tutorial on how to do a fishtail braid... so here it is! I hope this is basic and easy to understand! A fishtail braid is only with two strands, and it's really easy to do! I first do it on Quincy's long hair. One wet and one dry. Then lots of pancaking to make the braid more full and loose. Then I do a tiny one on Lucy and show you how even a tiny fishtail braid can be made full! Both super cute!

Quincy

1. Start with the hair in the crown sectioned off and secure with an elastic at the back corner.
2. Add water and spray gel as needed.
3. Secure the rest of the hair into a side ponytail a few inches underneath the top pony.
4. Take the top pony and add more water.
5. Split into two.
6. Take a small strand from the back of the left side and cross over the top to add into the right side.
7. Take a small strand from the back of the right and add to the left.
8. Continue adding from the left to the right and right to the left until the braid reaches the bottom ponytail.
9. Be sure to hold everything tight as you add each strand pull it tight.
10. Gently loosen each stitch.
11. Secure the braid to the bottom ponytail with an elastic.
12. Then continue to pull at each stitch to pancake as much as you desire.
13. For the bottom braid I will be doing the same thing but with dry hair.
14. Split into two.
15. Take a small piece from the back of the left and add to the right.
16. Take a small piece from the back of the right and add to the left.
17. Continue until you have the braid at the desired length.
18. Secure with an elastic and then pancake.

Lucy

1. Start with a two inch section with a diagonal part and secure with an elastic
