HOW TO FISHTAIL BRAID - what you'll need:
- Hair elastics - clear are best for the most seamless look
- Bobby pins in a similar colour to your hair
- Hair Extensions - this is optional, but is a game changer for braided looks like this! For extra volume and length, we're using 60 pieces of ZALA 20" tape hair extensions. Instant #hairgoals!
How amazing is this hair transformation?! We are obsessed with this colour combo too!HOW TO FISHTAIL BRAID - THE TECHNIQUE
- For this look we're creating a super pretty side fishtail braid, so start by pulling your hair to one side and securing with an elastic. We left out a small section of hair at the front which was then wrapped around the ponytail to conceal the elastic.
- Next, it's time to get braiding! Start by splitting the hair into two even sections.
- Then, take a small piece from the outer side of each section and bring over into the middle, one at a time.
- Repeat this all the way down until all your hair is braided and secure with an elastic. If you've got long locks, this may take a little time but the end result is stunning!
- Finish by gently loosening the braid with your fingers for extra volume and body. And you're done!
