Sometimes called the herringbone, a fishtail braid is yet another twist on the traditional plait. I think this style is easier to learn on someone else's hair — and better to explain with pictures than tell with words alone — so get a friend and get started with this step-by-step slide show.

t looks like poo
I'm a big fan of the fishtail braid. I don't think it looks like poo. Thanks for posting this. I'm going to practice it on my mom, hahha!
Thanks for posting, I've always loved these but I can't do anything beyond a basic braid! Now if I could only do this on myself...
Love it! It's such a pretty way to dress up a simple braid.
I always do fishtail braids in my hair. They're so much more interesting to look at than a normal braid and they're easy to do (as long as you have long hair).
I prefer a looser Fishtail braid.
I love it, but I think my hair is too thin
Bella85, this is actually a great style for thin hair, if it's long enough. If you'll braid it a little loosely, then put a bit of hairspray or texturizer on your fingertips and lightly pull on it- like you're trying to pull each half away from the middle- it makes it look fuller and thicker.
I actually like this style of braid. But I was always intimidated by how complicated it looks. One day I will master it.
It just takes practice. If you play around with it here and there, it'll come together. As others above have said, it definitely helps to use styling product before you start braiding, particularly if you have fine hair. If I don't use product, it turns out OK, but I get more flyaways.
I love these.
