[Music] every one you get Lee here and today I’m showing you for how to do a fishtail braid I’ve got a couple different methods to appeal to anyone and everyone whether you’re great at braiding or maybe not so great I got you covered this is part of my new braid encyclopedia series where I’m going to be doing just basic braid how to use so that you can follow my videos whatever the video is you will know how to do all the different braids that I’m showing you in the video we’re starting off with this one tell me which one you want to see next in the comments below and that being said I think it’s time to get to this tutorial so let’s get started I’m actually going to give you guys three different explanations for the same braid because all of our brains work differently the first one is basically big picture it’s for those of you guys who need to get it in your head and then your fingers do the rest the other is literally the opposite I’m gonna teach you exactly what to do with your fingers while your head just catches on to what’s happening and then the final one I’m gonna call the confidence builder you don’t need to have really great like finger dexterity you don’t need to be great at braiding so if you really get confused by the first two is stick around I got you on that third one alright big picture piece here we go we’re gonna start with two sections so go ahead and get that ready to go then step one is to pick up a small piece of hair from one side it will look a little something like this step two is to put it into the other section you repeat that on the other side up one is to pick up a section of hair like so and step two is to transfer it to the other side once again step one pick up a section step two transfer it to the other side then you switch sides step one pick up a section step two transfer it to the other side I kind of think of this as like throwing a ball like you throw the ball to the other side and then that side throws the ball back and then you throw the ball again and it’s just like a game of catch all the way down your hair and there is your fishtail braid now let’s move on to how to actually move your fingers while you’re doing this braid this entire brain works off of two sections and you want to hold your sections like you’re holding up pole or flag so you want to wrap your entire hand around it and then you want your hand up as close as possible to the top of the braid as you can get so step one is to Pierce and by doing that we’re going to create the small section that we transfer over later you can either pierce with your index or with your thumb and you’re going to do that on the outside of your section the outside is these sides furthest away from the center of the braid so if it was like a target the center would be right here and then like the outer rings where you barely get any points would be up here that’s where you want to Pierce if you use your index finger you’re gonna go in from the front like so if you use your thumb you’re gonna come through the back like so whichever one works for you I like using my index finger so index fingers through and that’s separate a little baby section from the side you’re working on so you have now successfully made a little tiny section that is ready to go up and live on this new home on the other side so step two is to grab so that it can live in this little house over here and grab with this hand because your little section is now going over into the other section step two grab step three you gotta cut the umbilical cord with the mother section so you’re gonna slide your left hand down because we’re working on the left side right now slide your left hand down cut that umbilical cord step four reset back where you were at the beginning with your two flagpoles that are touching the base of your braid alright so now we’re going to transition to the other side so you’re gonna Pierce again on the outside of your sections out there were like no points are on the target Pierce you’ve got your little baby section so all grown up ready to go off to its new home over here you’re gonna grab then you’re going to cut that in vocal cord by sliding your right hand down because that way it gets all these hairs that are kind of tangled up down here the bottom to let go so slide to cut that umbilical cord and step for reset grab both sections like flagpoles and hold it really tight at the base blue braid and now you have successfully done two sections you just have to do like plenty more you got this Oh without my weird analogy you’re just Pierce grab slide reset Pierce grab slide reset another thing I noticed that I do is like after I Pierce I kind of like to use my thumb and twist my wrist so that I can grab it more easily and then I slide so much you kind of get the hang of it you could try that you Pierce and you know like an extra step in there twist grab slide Pierce twist grab slide it’ll just make you faster you’re still working on the basics don’t worry about that you just Pierce twist grab slide Pierce twist grab slide and there you go fishtail braid and as promised I have a confidence builder for those of you guys who might still feel a tiny bit lost [Music] okay so you still have to start with two sections that’s part of the rules but here’s what you get to do for the confidence builder he gets the jocelyn so you only have to hold one section at a time step one you’re gonna pick up a little piece of hair step two you’re gonna put it in the hand that’s holding your section way up and then step three switch hands so pick up the section that’s chilling out drop the other section and then you start over again step one pick up a section of hair step two put it in the hand that’s holding onto the section step three switch hands and again that just means that you pick up the section that’s just hanging down and you drop the one that you’re holding step one pick up a little bit of hair step two put it in your other hand switch hands and one more time step 1 pick up a little bit of hair step 2 put it in the other hand step 3 switch sides so the key to keeping this from falling apart and like destroying your confidence is to keep your hand that’s holding your section up as close to the braid as you possibly can you need to feel that braid on your index finger is if you start dropping it you’re gonna end up with a mess very quickly I don’t think this is really faster than the method that I just showed you guys but it is so much easier just as far as like what your fingers have to do because if you just had like pinchers you could do this crab you do this lesson it’s so easy a crab can do it pinchers it’s a little harder down here crabs would have a little bit of a harder time down here it’s a little bit less perfect and a little bit looser than the last methods that I showed you but it is a lot easier in the sense that you don’t have to be able to articulate your fingers a lot you could have like lobster pinchers and it would still work so if you’re not that great at braiding this braid could be your Lobster hashtag friends reference and that is how to do a fishtail braid I hope you enjoy having your new braiding skills if you want to try out some more fishtail braided hairstyles I’m going to link a playlist somewhere around here and in the description box where
