How To: Fishtail Braid

August 11th, 2011

Since I posted these pictures on Monday, I’ve gotten numerous requests to do a tutorial on the fishtail braid. While the concept isn’t complex, it just takes a while for your hands to get into the right rhythm. Plus, I think the messier it looks, the better. With that being said, it would have been too difficult to show in photographs (like my other “How To” posts), so I tried to capture it in a video.
