There are two instances where fishtail braids may not work.
The fishtail braid has more flair, so its not as traditional.
Lets call one side A, and the other side B, suggests Cucinello.
Take a small section of hair from side A, following along the hairline.
Step 2:
Now do the same thing on the opposite side.
Grab a small section of hair from the opposite matching side B, following along the hairline.
Step 4:
Go back to side B.
When you get to the end of the braid, secure it with an elastic.
you’ve got the option to use pomade or gel to help keep the braid neat or messy.
This pick from Cucinello Beauty is perfect to add a bit of texture to your hair, pre-styling.

Id suggest locking in your braid with some adjustable hold hair spray, he says.
