Christmas Eve is tomorrow, people! I cannot wait to eat too much and get all dressed up.
Tonight I am having a friend reunion with a bunch of girls from high school! I am bringing over my favorite caramel apple sangria that is always a crowd pleaser. If you are still in need of a festive adult drink this one is the best!
One of my go-to hairstyles for the holidays is a side fishtail braid. I actually only learned how to fishtail a few months ago, but have since then become a pro. Or so I like to think. They’re really easy to do once you practice a few times. Once you get the hang of it I promise it will be your go-to as well!
I am a big fan of any type of braid for a holiday look. I think it’s a fun spin on the classic curls or straight hair! It gives your outfit just a little bit more in my opinion.
Step 1. Pull all of your hair to one side
Step 2. (Optional) Tie into a pony tail
If you choose to do this step cut off the clear elastic when you are finished.
Step 3. Divide into two sections
Step 4. Grab a small piece from behind opposite section
Step 5. Take that piece and cross over to front
Repeat steps 4 + 5 until you reach your desired length.
I hope that helped you guys! I know it’s sometimes to learn off of photos, but once you try it out and practice you will get the hang of it!
Such a beautiful braid! I love fishtail braids. Great twist to a classic braid.
So chic! I have always loved a french braid but always thought its hard to do. You make it look so simple. Thanks for sharing

Fishtail braiding is one of my favorites! It can look so cute and casual or dressed up!
Ive always loved fishtail braids! so cute and simple to do!
I’ve always wondered how fishtail braids were accomplished. Not sure my hair is quite long enough yet to pull this off without it turning out horribly messy, but it looks gorgeous on you! I can’t wait til I have enough length to attempt it myself!

I love a fishtail braid it is so simple to do and looks really cool! It was actually my go to braid when I was a lifeguard!
I used to fishtail my hair all the time when it was long! Now that I chopped it off to shoulder length, it’s quite a bit harder. It does look great on you though!
Love the fishtail, it’s such a fun braid! Thanks for this great tutorial.

Yeah, it took me a few times to actually figure it out! Once you get the hang of it it takes like 5 minutes!
Thanks for posting this! This is so helpful. My girls have long hair and I am always looking for new ways to style their hair.
