Braid Series 4: How to do a fishtail braid

The finished product
This is probably my favourite braid overall; it takes some time to make but is rather fun (if that makes sense) and the finished product is beautiful. You can wear just one at the back of your head or make two adorable pigtails over your shoulders. This is only the most basic way to make one; experiment as you please.
  1. Brush your hair and split it in half, pulling a part over each shoulder.
  2. Take a tiny piece from the outside of the right strand and cross it over, adding it to the inside-bottom of the left section.
  3. Holding the left section together, new strand included, take a new small piece from the outside and add it to the inside of the right piece.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to the end and tie off.
WARNING! Do not bring the braid over your shoulder to finish too early, and be extremely careful when you do. If you ignore this, the braid will become warped on the opposite side.

Other than that, enjoy!
