Cute & Easy Twisted Edge Fishtail Braid Hairstyle Tutorial
The fishtail braid is gorgeous, but it can look intimidating. I’m here to tell you it’s not! This twisted edge version is my go-to for second-day hair when I want to look put together in under five minutes. It hides any lack of volume and looks far more complicated than it is.
Let’s break it down:
The Prep: Pull your hair into a low, side ponytail and secure it with a clear elastic. Gently tug at the crown of your head for a bit of volume.
The Twist: Now, instead of diving straight into a fishtail, add a twist—literally. Split the ponytail into two sections. Take a small strand from the outside of the left section, twist it two times, and then cross it over to join the inside of the right section.
Repeat & Alternate: Now, take a small strand from the outside of the right section, give it two twists, and cross it over to the left. Keep alternating sides, twisting each strand before crossing it over.
This tiny twist adds incredible texture and bohemian flair to the classic fishtail, making it look intricate and elegant with minimal effort.
In other words this braid tends to hold up very well and would be perfect for school, work, sports, and other occasions. If you so desire, this braid can be wrapped up into a bun, forming a beautiful patterned updo. Like most fishtails, this braid is a little more time consuming than some braids, but not too bad. I would plan on about 5-8 minutes to complete your braided ponytail (although this will depend largely upon the length of hair you are working with.)
