Fishtail French Braid


I've been so excited to share this hair tutorial with you. I teamed up with Harley Chapman for this tutorial, and she did my hair and make up. Images by Mallory Fraughton... You will need to know how to fishtail for this braid. If you do not know how, click on my sidebar under the hair tutorials link and I have a very easy one on there!  Make sure you tag @theshineproject on Instagram so I can see your final hair masterpiece :)


1- Pull a small section of hair from the top of your head. You will use this section as the first fishtail piece in the braid.
2- Fishtail only that section of hair about 2-3 inches, as shown in the top row of images above.
3- From the top side of your hair (use above your ear as a good reference point) grab a loose piece of hair and pull that into your fishtail. You will fishtail this piece into the first section that you have already braided.
4- After braiding 2-3 inches, pull a loose hair strand in from the opposite side of your head and start to fishtail this in.
5- Continue this process all the way down the back of your head. Keep pulling random pieces in to your braid, and fishtailing it a few inches before grabbing another loose piece.
6- When you get to the end of your hair, fishtail everything together and put an elastic in it, and you are DONE my friend. So, so pretty. 

Enjoy!
