French braid hairstyles

Gather all your hair except the lower portion as if you wanted to create a half up half down hairstyle. Divide the gathered hair into three equally thick strands and start braiding these strands close to your scalp. Once you have braided your hair about one quarter down the back of your head, begin incorporating the still loose hanging hair into the sections of the braid. Continue till you reach your neckline, and all of the loose hairs have been woven into the braid. From here, continue to form a simple braid until the hair’s end and secure.

Fishtail Braid hairstyles

The fishtail braid is an intricate kind of braid pattern that offers impeccable results. To do this style, gather your hair into a low ponytail and divide it into two equal parts. Separate a half-inch full strand of hair on the outside of one of the strands. Use the smaller strand on the outside, and pull it over the remaining one. This will be on the same side. Then you have to combine both with the strand on the opposite side. Then do the same with the strand to which you have just added the smaller strand of hair from the opposite side. Keep repeating this technique until you run out of hair. This braid style requires you maintaining the right amount of tension on both sides as you wrap the hair strands over each other for the outcome to be smooth.
