Hello, my beautiful friends its me me here today and today I'm going to share with you guys how to create a French fishtail braid on yourself. You guys know how much I love fishtail braids. So any time I show you a recreation of fishtail braid. I get super super excited this one, I'm not gon na lie. It is a bit more complicated, so it takes a lot of practice and just you know trying it out. I think with any hairstyle the more you try it out the better you get. It took me a while to get this one, it's easier, of course, to do it on somebody else, but today I'm going to share with you how to do it. On yourself, I find that it, as you can see, there's a mirror behind me. I find that it's easier to be looking to the mirror, as you doing on the back of your head. So that's what I'm going to be doing, I'm going to turn around and you'll see all the steps that I'm going to be doing in the back of my head. I'Ve simplified it so I promise you're gon na get it. Let'S get started, I'm going to start off by gathering a medium-sized section of hair at the crown of my head and then splitting it in two equal sections and starting to create a regular fishtail braid. And I do that by just taking my index finger and taking a small section from the right bring it over to the left. Then taking my index finger of my left hand and a small section from the left and bring it over to the right. And then I do the same thing step twice so again, taking an index finger from the left and bringing it over to the right, and this I will call my small fishtail, because I'm going to be working with small fishtail, braid and big fishtail braid, and this Really helps me with creating the French fishtail braid I'll, explain it in a moment. So now I'm going to do the same thing. I'M going to take my index finger or just two fingers whatever works and take a small section from the right and sort of the outside, bring it over and right away. Add it to the left section. So the section from the right goes to the left, then, with my left hand, going to do the opposite thing. So take a small section from the left, bring it over to the right section and just add it to the right section of hair. So that was my big fishtail braid. Now I'm gon na do the step that I did initially so again start with my right. Take a small section from right. Add it to the left. Take a small section from left. Add it to the right. So that's me doing the step with my small fishtail braid and then I'm going to switch over again to the big fishtail braid. So I continuously do the exact same steps moving from small fishtail braid to big fishtail, braid and the reason it really helps me to remember if it's small or big fishtail braid, because it sort of helps me remember the order. Otherwise, I can get confused and continue doing the same thing twice with a small fishtail braid or the large fishtail braid. So it really does help as you're braiding down to repeat small, big small big by adding sections from right to the left section and from left to the right, and now I'm going to continue doing the same thing over and over again. All the way down to my neck and as I'm going to be doing this, my hands do get tired all the time. Trust me, this is quite an exercise for the arms, so I take breaks Bai Ling, leaning over either to my left side, right side or just shaking my hands. It does take a lot of practice to master this one. Now, once I get over to my neck, I split the hair in two sections and finish it off with a regular fishtail braid and at this point my mic stopped working. So I'm just gon na tell you what I was saying there so basically at some point it becomes really hard for me to brave the hair down the back of my head. So I just bring it over to my left side and I sort of braided back and to the side so making sure that I don't braid it too in the front. Otherwise the braid turns out a little bit crooked. So I sort of as I do that continue doing the fishtail braid down, I sort of pull it back and to the side and then I'm going to braid it all the way down. Next, I'm going to go into the braid and start pulling all the sections. Very very carefully to make this braid a little more loose and effortless, and I'm going to do it from one side and then do it from the other side of the braid. So literally, I'm just grabbing small sections of the braid and carefully pulling on them. And I continue doing this until I'm happy with the results and then I'm gon na grab my hair elastic and just secure this braid at the bottom. Now this is what the braid looks like if you like to wear nice neat and tight. So you can stop at this point, but I'm gon na go into the braid and mess it up a little bit and relax it, because I like a more relaxed and effortless look, and that is all I have for you guys today, like I said this: hair Cell took me a while to master so give yourself some time and just practice practice practice. I promise you're going to get it in the end and the reason I love a French fishtail braid is because it's such a classic hairstyle, it's good for any occasion, and it's super timeless and when you guys recreate this French fishtail braid make sure to post it On instagram, with hashtag lexi here, and I always feature our favorites on our luxy hair Instagram. Thank you guys so much for watching give this video a big thumbs up. It will totally make my day. I love you guys and I'll see you soon. Bye,

SJ97: I have a quick question. I have thick, long, straight hair and I don't use extensions. Whenever I do a fishtail braid, it looks great for about fifteen minutes and then it starts fraying around the edges and coming apart, even if the main part of the braid stays together. Do you have a solution for this?
Adnan Amjad: beautiful hairstyle just waiting for the next one
ashwini ramesh: love it!! its beautiful! ! am gonna try it today! !
Karissa Nichole: i love this simple but glam look!
Emily Leah: This is so pretty! I love your hair
Çjañ _Official: Really loved it❤❤
Allan: If you wanted to start the fishtail braid from the front, would you start adding hair to the big fishtail braid or just make a small fishtail braid until you get to the back of your head? I've always struggled with a visible french braid at the top of my head even if I started with a small braid. Are there any tips or tricks to make a bigger, more visible braid from the front? Is there a specific way to hold your hair while braiding?
Anjum Sheikh: loved it....definitely gonna try it
Vera S: Maybe for 3 Mil subscribers you can do a makeup tutorial! I've always wanted to see how you do your makeup and the products you use! You always look stunning! :)
yesenia: So beautiful I always watch your videos for school and they are so easy
Shivani Shenai: I was able to do it, but it was really tiring and I ended up taking big chunks of hair in the braid which is completely opposite in mimi's case who ends up taking really small sections of hair, but it turns out really good

Mamoni Hatiboruah Gogoi: Great hairstyle! But whenever I wear rings and start doing a hairstyle my hair gets stuck in it
kunooh 4: I'll try but one thing I want to say that is ! My hair is not too long but I like it very much
Emily J: Instead of braiding it to the side when the hair gets to long, I braid up because often if I braid it to the side when I move it back it hangs wrong. Just incase anyone runs into that :)
Asha Zuting: This is awesome......looking for more hairstyle videos
Jessica Perez Sotelo: omg!!! yes yes!!!! I been waiting for this video, I completely love it!
