Soft Fishtail

Here’s a new way to try the oh-so-popular fishtail. Scarbrough tells us how to get this hairstyle:

1. Separate your hair vertically into two even sections.



2. Create a fishtail braid, beginning at the tops of your ear and ending at the nape of your neck. (To learn how to make a fishtail braid, click here.)

3. Secure at the nape of your neck with an elastic. Wrap a small strand of hair around band and pin it underneath the ponytail.

4. Tug on your ponytail gently to tighten it. Finish with hairspray.
