Tips and tricks:
  • Use hair product to help prevent flyaways while you are creating the fishtail and for the finishing touches.  
  • Stretch the edges of your braid for a more voluminous final look. 
  • Miniature bobby pins (affiliate) are easier to hide in styles like this. 
  • You may want to loosen the hair at the crown of her head before you wrap up the braid for a softer and more effortless look.
