Hey, guys—it’s Katie here again! I promised you another hairstyle for medium-length hair, and I’m here to deliver. This style looks great with a fishtail braid, but if you haven’t quite mastered the fishtail (here’s a video to help you out), fear not! This style is just as cute with a simple, traditional braid.
To begin, I curled Emma’s hair with a small barrel curling iron. Feel free to bust out your sea salt spray for no heat curls the night before.
Step One: Create a fishtail braid from a section of hair on one side of the head. Secure with an elastic and repeat on the other side.
Step Two: Once you have both sides braided, bring them together and tie them in a knot at the back of the head.
Step Three: Tie the hair in a knot a second time and secure with one or two bobby pins. Remove the hair elastics once the knot is pinned and let the braided ends fall straight.
I absolutely love this look on Emma, and once again, it’s great for a variety of lengths. Happy braiding! xo. —Katie

I adore this! I also love how the different shades in Emma’s hair look when they’re braided.
Wonderful style!! I love the curls with it but I think it would look really cute with straight hair to !!

That is really cute and easy even though it does take a bit of for small fishtails. I think normal braids will work great as well if your in a rush. 🙂

I miss living with my sisters because they were always the ones to braid my hair, since it’s so hard to do on your own! I’m going to have to teach my boyfriend/roommate. haha!

I adore this look – and am such a huge fan of fishtail braids. Just need to learn how to fishtail without my arms getting super tired.
Warm Regards,

Emma looks gorgeous! And Katie I love your hair tutorials! Would you guys consider doing Elsie’s hair? Hers looks really thick, like mine is and I’d love to see some styles that are do-able with thick hair!
This is so pretty!! I love that you took the elastics out, I would’ve left them in (because I didn’t know taking them out was an option) and this looks so much more elegant!
I’m in love with this knot braid! I want to try it on me for next month’s festival, but it seems a little complicated for me. I’m not very good with braids unfortunately. I wonder if there’s a Youtube video that teaches us clumsy girls how to do this kind of braid.
