How To Make Easy Fishtail Braid/Plait In 5 Minutes

The Fishtail braid, also known as the Herringbone or Fishbone, looks elaborate and time-consuming. But it’s actually really fun and easy to do!

5 Easy steps to make Fishtail braid.

Step 1: Divide your hair into two large sections.

Step 2: Pull a thick strand of hair from the outside of the first section over itself, and add it to the second section.

Step 3: Do the same for the other side. Pull a skinny strand of hair out from the outside of the second section, and add it to the first section. Err on the side of making it loose.

Step 4: Keep repeating the steps until you reach the end of your hair.

Step 5: Finish your fishtail braid off by tying your hair with an elastic. Add a cute ribbon or charm to give it some personality if you’d like!
