2. Pull your hair in side into a ponytail as I have done. Use a clear elastic to make your ponytail which you can snip away with scissors at the end.
3. Divide the ponytail into two equal-sized ponytails.
4. Now with the help of your fingers separate a small section of your hair from the outer edge near the elastic.
5. Cross it over opposite side. Don’t twist the hair as you bring it across. Re-grip your hair to tighten plait, still holding two sections. Repeat with a small section from the other side.
6. Continue overlapping pieces from both sides of your ponytail in the same manner.
7. Always try to grab equal size hair section from each side. If you are not able to take small sections then go for bigger sections but they should be of equal size.
8. Once you have finished braiding secure the fishtail with a second elastic.
9. With the help of scissors cut out the elastic used in the beginning.
10. Finally tug your braid gently with the help of your fingers to loosen it so that it may look more volumised.
* Remember: If you want braid at the back then pull your hair back into a ponytail.
