This is a little more difficult than regular french braiding, but it looks super pretty.

Yes, I'm using a Barbie doll. My hair is too short to braid.

You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Hair Ties

Steps (5 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Make sure your hair is tangle free from root to tip. You can't braid hair with tangles.

    Then, create a small section at the top of your head.

  2. 2

    Separate that section into two smaller sections, then take a tiny bit of hair from the pre-existing right section, cross it over, and add it to the left. Then take a tiny section from the pre-existing left section and cross it over and add it to the right. That is a basic fishtail braid.

  3. 3

    Now, from the right, separate a tiny section from the pre-existing right section and then take a tiny bit of hair from the hair BELOW the braid and add it to the tiny section and cross it over and add it to the left section.

  4. 4

    Take a small section from the pre-existing left, add a small bit of hair from below the braid, add it to the small section, and cross it over and it to the right.

  5. 5

    Now, repeat.
    When you run out of hair to add to the smaller sections, just fishtail braid the rest, taking a small section from one side, cross it over, add it to the other side. Then, take a section from the other side, cross it over and add it to the other side,.
