Beauty Inspiration: Fishtail Fancy

Wednesday, June 27, 2012




I wanted to share this article from Glamour Beauty on how to make your fishtail braid a little fancier. They're really cute takes on the currently hot fishtail braid trend. Which do you prefer?  I like style #5 personally.


I'm nowhere near dexterous (or patient!) enough to create a fishtail braid (plus I don't think my kinky curly hair texture would work with such an intricate look), but two thumbs all the way up if you are! In fact, I've found a plethora of tricked out variations on Pinterest that I'm sure will inspire you to kick yours up a notch—or at the very least, admire their ah-mazing plaiting prowess right along with me.
