00:00What we're going to do now is a fishtail braid. It's a very elaborate hairstyle. However, it's
00:08very simple to do. First, you want to brush the hair through smoothly depending on if you want
00:13texture or not. If your hair is curly or wavy and you want texture, you can definitely embrace that.
00:19If your hair isn't long enough, you can always opt to use some clip-in hair extensions. Just clip
00:25them in on the ponytail and that will give you the look you want as well. First, we're going to brush
00:31the hair and pull it into a nice ponytail. The best way to create the perfect fishtail braid is to first
00:41put the hair in an elastic. That's going to give you the support you need if you're not a master
00:46just yet. You can put it in an elastic and that'll be good for you. Once you have it in the elastic,
00:52you can pull it to the side and then split the hair into two. The unique thing about the fishtail braid
01:02is that you're going to split the hair into two and take a small piece of hair from the outside
01:07subsection like so. You're going to take that, bring it into the center, and then you're going to do the
01:12same thing to the other side. Remember, it's just a fishtail braid, so don't overthink it. You're going to
01:19bring that in like so as well. If you notice, now the rhythm begins. You're going to take another small
01:25subsection and bring that in. Take another subsection and bring that in. And keep repeating.
01:33We're going to make a song. Subsection, bring it in. Another subsection, bring it in. Another subsection,
01:40bring it in. Nice and small and you can make that tighter as well. If you want it to be tight and full,
01:47bring it tighter. If not, you can make it loose and messy. This is a fun style, so you don't have to
01:53make it so, so intricate and make it whereas you do in homework. You just want to have fun at the
02:00evening. But notice how I'm bringing it in. That's the key. Take the small subsection and bring it in.
02:06And also remember, keep the same amount of hair bringing in that you took from each subsection.
02:13You don't want to bring a big wide piece from this subsection and a small piece from this subsection.
02:19Notice if you can see about this much is adequate.
02:26And keep bringing that in. This elastic will be cut in the end, so we don't have to worry about that.
02:32So it won't show or anything.
02:34And we're just going to keep bringing that in. Take a little piece, bring it in. You remember the song?
02:42Okay, follow me. Take a little piece, bring that in. Take another small section out to in. Out to in.
02:53Out to in. Out to in. See, it's very simple once you get the hang of it. And I would recommend you
03:02practice it three times. I'm going to show you so that you can remember. But you need to get involved
03:08and do it yourself so you'll never forget. You want to secure the end with an elastic as well. And
03:14what's good about this is if you have a nice rhinestone brooch or a barrette, you can use it or something
03:20that complements your outfit. Put it on the end. Then what we're going to do after we've secured it,
03:29we're going to take some shears and just snip and be careful. Make sure you don't grab any of your hair.
03:35Snip it, pull it to the side, separate it, pull it, make it fun and fat. And even if you have bangs,
03:42you can swoop the side or if you want side bangs, you can take a part out and swoop it as well.
03:48That's going to give you a fishtail braid. And remember to put the elastic in the beginning
03:54because that's going to give you the support you need. And then snip it in the end.
