Fall Into Fishtail... hair tutorial.

Fall Into Fishtail- A collaboration with SLOmygosh

A step by step hair tutorial for those who want to pretend they are mermaids OR for those like me that think it looks like a herringbone scarf and are desperate for Fall's arrival!!

For my second collaboration with Coral of SLOmygosh and the amazingly awesome ladies of Ambiance we decided on a fishtail braid (for our first tutorial please view HERE). Braids are so hot right now, so in the moment! This look can be achieved by many different hair lengths and textures- it's pretty darn universal ladies!!

What you will need:

2 clear elastic bands

a pair of scissors- any kind (for optional step 7)

hairspray (again, optional)

BEFORE
Our stunning model Kannyn, (isn't she just gorgeous?!) also the owner of Ambiance- who must have the most amazing closet in the world! 

One:

1. Brush hair into pony tail, this may be a low side pony or in the back.  Our model requested it be in the back.

* a side note: I'd like to point out that when doing this on oneself, it will be easier to do a side pony version, but by no means is it impossible to do it in the back.

Two:

2. Secure with clear elastic band and start by splitting the hair into two sections. 

Three:

3. Beginning on one side pull a small section of hair from underneath. Pull this section around and across to the opposite side. 

Four:

4. Repeat this process going down the divided pony tail until you reach the desired amount of hair braided.

Five:

5. Secure with the second clear elastic.

Six:

6. Gently tug on the braid if you would like a wider fishtail.

Seven: (optional)

7. Optional- If you desire a looser braid, cut the top clear elastic. 

Finally.....

Spray and Ta-da, you're done!!
