Wait & Braid | Side Inverted Fishtail.

I think fishtail braids are one of the most popular braids out there and it's easy to see why! The fishtail braid was one of the first braids I ever learnt and it's still one of my most worn hairstyles. The fishtail does take longer to do but it's definately worth learning! This is an inverted fishtail braid and the only difference from the normal fishtail is that you're crossing strands of hair under and not over. All you have to do is split the hair into two sections and keep on getting little strands from each side and crossing under. I know I'm the worst person to explain this but there are lots of videos on Youtube to help you out!

I decided to do this hairstyle on New Years day and instead of the usual I done the braid at the side of my head and left the rest of my hair out of the plait for a different look. I really like it and I think it was a really glamourous but edgy look for the new year.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year and liked this style too!

Wait and Braid | Half up Fishtail

Braiding my hair has always been something I've wanted to do but I never actually tried until recently. I always used to look at people on Youtube braiding and feel insanely jealous! With hairstyles, I just assumed it was something that I would find way too tricky to master. It was only this week I thought to myself; if I don't try, I won't learn! So learn was exactly what I did! Youtube is where I started but I bought a braiding book a couple of months ago too. I began with practising Dutch braids (my fave)! I didn't get it at all and got frustrated easily but thankfully I didn't give in. Practise really does make perfect because all of a sudden I got what I needed to do and then I was obsessed with braiding!

I didn't stop at Dutch braids though and now I've finally achieved the Fishtail plait! I absolutely love this style and I think it looks really intresting. I love the extra twist with the topsy tail above the Fishtail braid! If anyone would be intrested in learning this style I might post a photograph tutorial on the blog soon!

Do you love braiding your hair?
