EASY FAUX FISHTAIL BRAIDS

Step one: Tie your hair off into two, low pigtails with small elastics.

Step two: Make a little hole in your hair above your elastic and pull your ponytail up and through that hole. This is also called a topsy-turvy ponytail and you might recognize it from middle school. Pull tight.

Step three: Repeat on the other side.

Step four: Tie an elastic an inch or two below your first elastic.

Step five: Split your hair right between your two elastics making a small hole and pull your ponytail up and through that hole. Pull tight.

Step five: Add another small elastic an inch or two below the second elastic. Repeat your topsy-turvy ponytail trick by making a hole between the two elastics and pulling your ponytail up and through that hole. Again pull tight.

Step six: Repeat on the other side of your head.

Step seven: Pancake your faux braids a bit for a messier look.
