I can't seem to do a fishtail braid right on my own, so I'm glad Dee from
Swell Beauty did this pretty fishtail braid to my ombre locks. I love that she started the fishtail at my hair line and swept down the side; and instead of having the end of the braid sticking out, Dee tucked and pinned the ends into the braid. Did you know that I just started blogging for Swell Beauty and you can check out my posts
here! But back to this braid, here's what you need to complete the hair style (you will need to know how to fishtail braid):
1 Rubberband (your haircolor)
Bobbypins (your haircolor)

1. Spray dry shampoo into your roots and tousle with your fingertips. Section your hair with a wide part. With the wider section of hair, start fishtail french braiding. 
2. Finish the fishtail braid and rubberband the end. 
3. Go down the braid with your fingertips and gently pull on the sides to create the 'messy' look. 
4. Take the end of braid and pin the ends up into the braid with the bobbypins. Spray hairspray all over. 
1. Spray your roots with dry shampoo and work the shampoo into your roots with your finger tips. Take a segment of your hair from the right side and start to french braid. Secure with a rubberband. 
2. Take a segment of hair from the left side and french braid. Secure with a rubberband. With your fingertips, pull on the sides of each braid to make them look fuller (below far right). 
3. Below the right side braid, grab another segment of hair and french braid parallel to the top braid. Secure with a rubberband. Use your fingertips to gently pull on the sides of the braid to make it look fuller. 
4. Take the two right side braids and pull across the back of the head to the left side. Bobby pin under the left braid. Take the left side braid and pull across the back of the head under the two pinned braids. Bobby pin the left braid down, tucking the end of the braid underneath the right side braids and bobby pinning.
5. Brush out the un-braided hair with the soft bristle brush, add the Dream Drops to the ends of the hair, and use hair spray all over. You're done!
1. Start with dry hair. Pull hair from the top and use the dry shampoo on the roots. Section the sprayed hair into three parts to braid and secure with 1 rubberband at the end of the braid.
2. Grab a section of hair from the ponytail and wrap around the rubberband. Secure with bobby pins.
3. Grab the rest of your hair and pull into one ponytail with the smaller ponytail and secure with the hair tie.
5. Use the Redken Wax Spray to tame any flyways, the S Factor Dream Drops for the ponytail hair ends, the Headrush shine spray for overall shine, and the Hard Head hairspray all over to keep the style intact.
