We wanted to show you how to do a French Fishtail Braid, as it is one of the most requested videos we have been asked for. We apologize as fishtail braiding takes a long time to do. We used larger strands that we normally would in order to show you how it is done, without taking 10+ minutes.
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHFrenchFishtailBraid
This is a gorgeous hairstyle and is perfect for girls of all ages. You can braid it as tight or loose as you want {right now loose is what is popular}, and fishtail braids can be incorporated in various hairstyle combos. We will show some more of these in the future. Enjoy!
-Hi I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles. And today we are going to film the long awaited French fishtail. Everybody's been asking about this one and I think you're, going to love it., So difference between a regular fishtail and a fishtail is on a regular fishtail you're. Just changing the hair over itself. On a French fishtail you're, actually pulling extra hair into the braid as well.. So I'm going to just show one French fishtail, just a very basic one. While we're learning., I'm just going to pick up some hair. And when I get the chunk of hair, I want just divide it in half. OK., Now we're starting with our normal two pieces, just like a regular fishtail braid. And I'm going to go ahead and cross A little chunk over from the left to the right and a little chunk from that outside edge on this side, over. Just to start the braid off.. Now: here's where it becomes a little different., I'm going to pick up some hair just like you would on a regular French braid. And then I'm going to pick up just a tiny section on the outside of the hair. I have there and then cross that whole piece over the top. And I'm going to take my ring off because it's snagging in her hair. Now I'll show it on this side. Pick up. Hair, like you, would, with a French braid., Grab a little chunk from that outside edge and cross the whole thing over.. So you will just continue to do this until you run out of hair.. Now, like any other fishtail, the more hair you take, the bigger the chunks, the less it looks, fishtail-y. The more it looks like a French braid., So the smaller the chunks, the better. I'm doing medium chunks. Just because I am trying to keep this video from being crazy, long. Sorry., So let's show it again., Take a piece. Pick up a piece of hair grab, just a smidgen off that outside edge cross it over section one and into section two.. Now we're going to pick up a piece. Pick up a section off of section two on that outside edge cross all the way over section two and over to section one., Now we're only working with two sections, which is a little easier than a French braid.. However, it's just a little bit different how you hold your hands., So if you're not used to it, it just takes some getting used to. And then, when you learn, what's comfortable for you, it'll become pretty easy. And on the other thing, with French, fishtail or fishtails. In general --, all these F's are throwing me off --. They take a long time. Because you're trying to pick up such tiny sections to make the fishtail look good, that it takes quite a bit of time. OK.. Now I'm on my last section of hair., I'm going to add it in.. I must have said something funny, because I can hear my husband laughing behind me. OK.. So now, once I'm done picking hair up, I'm just going to start a regular fishtail., So crossing over. And again the smaller the sections the longer it's going to take, but the better fishtail effect it will have.. So you can just keep going.. This is what takes forever is just the tiny little chunks all the way, down. And there's not really a good way to speed this up., So you'll have to excuse the lengthy video.. You can see my black nails. I play on a volleyball team with some of my church friends and we're called the All Blacks.. So I painted my nails.. It was tournament. Last night. We are quite a funny team. We never win ever., We won. I think three games this season. And it was all by forfeit. And we won officially our first game yesterday. And that was awesome.. We were so excited.. You can see how this is just taking so much time, because it's very slow and detailed. Again. If you want to speed it up, take bigger chunks.. But then it doesn't look as fun. And then when you get to wherever you want to stop, go ahead and stop. I'm going to keep going for a minute. And I'll show you a fun thing. You can do. OK.. So when you get down a little bit farther and you're ready to be done, -- for the sake of time, I'm probably not going to finish this one out. OK.. So if I were going to put the rubber band right here, one fun thing you can do is just go back and give these a little tug. See how I'm just tugging tugging tugging., And that just is going to loosen the fishtail up., Make it just pop A little bit more and become a little more puffy, which is kind of fun. And soft looking. OK., And there you go. Grab a rubber band. And there you have a really fun soft loose. Looking fishtail. French fishtail.. Of course, you can hairspray or bobby pin any really loose fly aways, but I think this looks fun. And there you go. A French fishtail. OK.. So now that you've learned this basic one, we'll put up a few videos showing a little bit more intricate hairdos using the French fishtail technique, too. See you later. Want to say bye, -Bye
Comments
CarylAnn Freebury: I love your videos and I love the way your daughters smile the whole time :)
kaytarose: Great tutorial! This braid has always looked challenging but I'm feeling confident after this video. It's strange how some of the most complex looking styles are actually quite simple when you break them down. I gave my daughter a french twist today and she loved it! Thanks for making all these videos!
LuckyCharms2407: Thank you, this helped so much, I have figured out how to do a french fishtail braid myself lol, but it would always slip down because I wasn't adding the little sections from the inside braid if that makes sense. Makes so much sense to secure the braids with the hair inside. Thanks again :)
Olivia Nicole: This helped so much!!! I just did this on my sister and it looks amazing!!! Thank you!
Cassandra E: I absolutely LOOVE this hairstyle!! I did it on my sister and it turned out pretty :)
Ayesha Khansa: Mindy, if u r reading this, the i have to say 1 thing. U have an amazing family. My dad wouldnt hold the camera nor my mom would braid my hair, and even if she would i wouldnt have the patience to stand still. So may god bless you and your family. Love your hairstyles.
Veronica Tryon: I really love your videos! You've taught me a lot! I've known the Dutch and regular braid, fishtail braid, and now I've learned how to do this. You're so good!!(:

Jammye Morphis: I LOVE all of your videos, Mindy. Thank you for all the posts you do. My daughter would NEVER allow me to even brush her hair. I had given up and just let her win. Now, with these videos, she gets up in the morning and brushes her hair, herself, then asks me what we are going to do to her hair. Praise God, for the assistance you have given me.
Alioth Art: What I love about fishtail braids is that they perfectly work on layered hair, much better than french ones.

Hannah Barta: Great video! I had a question. In doing the French fishtail braid, my "fishtail" usually totally slips down. But I discovered today that when I try French fishtails, I don't add hair in and also take a little piece from the side of the original braid--I only add hair in from the very side of my head (if that makes any sense). Do you think that could be why it tends to slip down? I haven't tried it the correct way yet.
Hanh Nguyen: So pretty. I should try to do it by myself. Thank you so much. Btw, your daughter is very cute ^_^
