We are revisiting some of our past hair tutorials and adding videos to make them even easier to understand! Our fishtail braid tutorial is one that we get questions about pretty often, so we thought it would be the perfect candidate for a video!

Great tutorial! I love the way fishtail braids look, especially after I pancake them.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I
think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and
very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
hang of it!
Awesome,wow,beautiful,outstanding hair style, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!
Such a cute video 🙂 I’am gonna try it today, a video is always helpful for hair tutorials!

Thank you for the tutorial! This was very, very helpful!
I love the hair colour ! ♥♥
Of course you can still do a fishtail! Personally I love to curl my hair and then do a fishtail braid because then as the day goes on and bits fall out they have a lovely little curl to them. Being able to do a fishtail braid is all about length, not hair type.
If I can do this, anyone can! Used a tutorial to learn how to fishtail. My daughter requested this hairstyle for her brother’s middle school graduation. Both sides were pulled back with a small white orchid tucked in the back where two fishtails met. So pretty, simple and classic. <3 the fishtail…/Users/terrycampbell/Desktop/photo-11.png
Love the simplicity.
So beautiful! Love hearing Jeremy’s music!

Now I understand!!!!Thanks a lot!
I’ve only recently learned how to do this; I thought it would be super difficult to achieve, however I found it really easy – it was a miracle 🙂
Can I ask what hair colour this is? It looks so natural and I’m thinking of going this exact colour.

It’s great to be able to see this in action. And what a cute little bit at the end of the video!
I am so happy that you have this video now, because I never really understood those fishtail braids. I just tried it and though I need a little more practice, it finally WAS a fishtail braid!
Thank you!
XOXO

As many times as I try, even watching this video I can NEVER do that braid. I am the worst at doing different things to my hair no matter how simple people day they are! Thanks for sharing the video though, I will just keep trying (practice makes perfect right).

Used to be too lazy to figure out how to do it. Placing this in front of e makes we want to try it. Fishtail braid here I come.
Too bad my hair isn’t long enough for this style… Maybe I’ll bookmark it just in case my hair grows within the next week or so 😉
Beautiful video as always!

I love the look and I know that it’s simple, but it takes a lot more time than I have in the mornings! I can give it a try this weekend, though!

Katie (and her hair) are so gorgeous! I could never get my hair to look as good as that, but I sure can try!
katie’s braid is so gorgeous! I’ve been practicing my side fishtail braid, so this was really timely!
cool! Finally I know what I’ve always done wrong. Great video!
Gorgeous! I learn SO MUCH better with closeup videos like this. Thanks for sharing.
I love fishtail braids! They look so classy yet they’re hip and modern at the same time. Win-win!

Watching a video is ESSENTIAL when learning a fishtail braid. Ya just gotta watch it over and over again. I miss having long hair and doing one of these when I had a bad hair day.
