Brush your hair to remove tangles
Divide your hair into two equal sections
Hold one section in each hand
Take a small strand from the outside of the left section
Cross that strand over and add it to the right section
Take a small strand from the outside of the right section
Cross that strand over and add it to the left section
Repeat alternating sides until you reach the ends
Keep the strands small for a tighter fishtail braid
Secure the braid with a hair tie
Gently pull on the braid to make it fuller if desired
