Fishtail Crown Braid

• Step 1 / With a part on the right side, pick up a section of hair on the heavy side of the part and divide it into two sections.
• Step 2 / Separate a small piece from the back section, cross it underneath and add it into the front section.
• Step 3 / Separate off a small section from the front half, crossing it underneath and incorporating it into the back section.
• Step 4 / Repeat step 2 and pick up a section of hair, adding it into the braid as well.
• Step 5 / Now repeat step 4, picking up a section of hair and crossing both underneath to the opposite side.
• Step 6 / Continue braiding the hair, creating a dutch fishtail braid that trails over the left ear towards the back of the head.
• Step 7 / Switch hands while braiding along the back of the head before switching them back again once the braid reaches the right side of the head.
• Step 8 / When all the hair is brought into the braid, finish in a regular fishtail.
• Step 9 / Gently loosen the sides of the braid to create a fuller braid before tying off the end with a clear elastic.
• Step 10 / Lay the tail behind the beginning of the braid and pin it down with hair pins.
• Step 11 / Spritz the style with hairspray and you are set to go!
