1. Side Fishtail Braid
Via Quick Ideas For Second (Or ...
Braids are a pretty safe bet for second day hair, but when it's a beautiful side fishtail braid like this one, it's a stunner!
The fishtail braid, an elegant twist on the traditional braid, can revitalize your look with a touch of whimsy. Start by sweeping your hair to one side and divide it into two even sections. Then, take a small piece from the outside of one section and cross it over to the inside of the opposite section. Repeat alternately, creating the intricate "fishtail" pattern. This style is ideal for those lazy mornings when you want a hairstyle that looks intricate but is deceptively simple to execute. Secure the end with an elastic, and for a carefree vibe, gently pull at the braid to loosen it.
