Braid 8-Hidden Fishtail Braid is a great way to change up the traditional side braid.

It is a modern look featuring a fishtail braid that is easy to do!

Here are the steps to achieve this rad and bodacious look:

1 / Pop of your favorite headband. I’m wearing the one from the Tuck and Cover Half; you can find it at Forever21, well maybe.

2 / Next, separate out a section of hair right behind the ear.

3 / Braid this strand into a fishtail braid. If a fishtail braid is difficult you can always do a regular braid, *wink!

4 / Then tie off the braid with a clear elastic band.

5 / Gently loosen the braid by pulling on the edges to create a looser, more casual braid.

6 / Next, take the rest of your hair and wrap a strand around the base near the first elastic band.

7 / Then tie if off with another hair band.

8 / Brush through the tail and smooth down any flyaways; all done!
