A unique and attractive twist on the classic fishtail braid hairstyle is the side fishtail braid.

It looks less severe than the French fishtail braid and is perfect for women who have very sharp and defined features. It looks elaborate and time-consuming but it's actually really fun and easy to do! Step 1: Divide the hair you want to braid into two equal sections. Step 2: Start the fishtail braid by holding the right section with your right hand. Then, using your left hand, pick up a small chunk of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the inside of the right section.

Step 3: Repeat on the other side. Hold the left section in your left hand. Use your right hand to pick up a small chunk of hair from the outer right section and cross it over to the inside of the left section.

Step 4: Continue picking up small sections and crossing them over until you reach the ends of your hair.

Step 5: Secure with an elastic and spray the braid with a little shine spray to seal in moisture and boost shine. Now you're all set!

“And don’t worry if layers start to fall out of the braid,” We says. “It gives the look a pretty, effortless feel. Don’t put pressure on yourself to make it perfect. If there’s a bump or a knot, leave it, it adds to the character look.”
