Upping your hair game this year? Us too. If you’ve already mastered the art of the French plait, it’s time to take it up a level and try your hand at the fishtail braid. Effortlessly chic and way easier to create that it looks, the fishtail braid is the ultimate way to make third-day hair look fresh. 

Follow @jadamaridanielle’s tutorial below for the perfect fishtail braid technique. 

Pull the hair to one side of the head and divide it in the middle. 

Take a small side section of hair from the outside of one larger section.

Pull the section of hair across to the other larger section.

Repeat on the other side and continue on until the full length of the hair is braided. 

Pancake the sides of the braid for volume.
