1. Part your hair down the centre and pull hair to one side
2. Secure in a ponytail on one side with a hairband that you don't mind cutting
3. Start a fishtail braid by holding the right section with your right
hand. Then, using your left hand, pick up a a small chunk of
hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the
inside of the right section.
4. 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.
5. Continue picking up small sections and crossing them over until you reach the ends of your hair.
