Do you love fishtail braids as much as we do? Hope you enjoy this fun, woven variation! This braid has a trendy, bohemian feel to it. You may have noticed how popular fishtail braids (of all kinds) are right now..... demonstrated in a big way at Coachella.

Today our video tutorial is a spin-off of a hairstyle you might remember us posting last year called the "rope stitched fishtail braid." The Princess wears our rope stitched braid quite often to school. We decided to try the hairstyle using a micro fishtail braid instead of a rope braid recently, and actually ended up loving it even more than the original, so of course we wanted to share it with you!

As shown in our video tutorial (below) I stretched the outside edges of our braid slightly to make it look fuller and thicker. But if you prefer more of a disheveled or effortless looking braid, you can deconstruct the edges of the larger fishtail as much (or as little) as you want, to achieve the perfect state of "messiness" for your liking.

However messy or sleek looking you decide to make this braid, we just love the unique look of the small fishtail braid weaving in and out of the larger fishtail, sort of like a "peek-a-boo braid" effect.

As you can see, we chose to create this braid in a ponytail for our tutorial. I was actually planning on making a side braid, but it ended up looking kind of awkward on our "plastic patty" since she doesn't have shoulders for the braid to rest on hahaha! For a more "grown up" look, you can make a low side braid or center braid without using an elastic at the top (if you prefer it over a ponytail.)

Supplies needed to recreate this braid:

1 medium size elastic
1 small elastic
Alligator clip or similar (optional)
Fairly long hair

Easy everyday curly hairstyle tutorials – the curly side braid

This curly side braid is your everyday curly hairstyle solution. It’s quick to do and will stand up to any weather too.
One of the reasons I started braiding my hair was that I didn’t have time to wash my hair in the morning. I would do anything for a few extra minutes in my warm bed before work.
So if you need some motivation to learn to braid, then this curly side braid hairstyle will help you to get more time in bed.
Plus you can save time washing your hair. I mean, who has time to wash their hair every day? I don’t even recommend everyday washing as it is too drying on most hair types.
Instead, wear an easy updo or braid to keep your hair out of the way. My everyday curly hairstyle tutorial series is your second day time-saver.

If I had to choose, I’d say my favourite braid in curly hair is the Dutch braid. That’s the reverse of the French braid, sometimes called an inside-out braid. I love how Dutch braids add detail in curly hair.
Today’s tutorial could convert me back to the French braid. It’s really quick to do and it’s such a fun style. This curly side braid tutorial is easy for all hair types: straight, wavy or curly. Anyone can do it.

Easy everyday curly hairstyles – the curly side braid tutorial

What you need:

Small clear hair elastic (or one to match your hair colour)
Bobby pin

Step-by-step tutorial:

To create the side ponytail, we’ll angle the French braid diagonally across your head from the top left to the bottom right.
If you prefer to wear your ponytail on the left side, just start your braid from the top right.

Take a large section of hair to start your braid. I take a section from the top of my head to my left temple. Split this into three equal sections.
Begin your French braid, adding in hair from both sides. Cross the left section over the middle, then the right over the left. As you cross over the next section, add in hair from the left side. Continue, adding in hair to the next section from the right and so on.
Remember to aim your braid diagonally. When you reach your neck, secure your hair in a side ponytail.
Cover your elastic. Take a small piece of hair from your ponytail and wrap it around your elastic. Wrap the end around a bobby pin and secure in place underneath.

You’ve asked for more picture of the front of my hairstyles too. I get pretty awkward taking photos of my face but I hope this helps you to understand the styles better.
I used the volume from my curly hair to shape the front. If your hair is sitting flat you can gently backcomb the hair to add some extra height.

Hairstyling tips:
Embrace messy hair. You don’t need to be perfect when braiding curly hair. It’s practically impossible to take neat and exact sections so work with your curls.
Pay attention to accessories. Accessories can really add to a style. Chunky elastics can really detract from the look. I recommend buying some small, clear elastics for these styles. They are practically invisible in the finished look and make a big difference. I like these Lady Jayne ones and if you’re in the US, try these ones.
How to stop the slip: if you have layers or your hair is too soft and keeps slipping from the braid, I have the solution. My favourite styling powder solves the problem. Sprinkle a little on your hair or any layers that are poking out. Then push them back into the braid. This powder makes them stay put. I love it.

A cute and easy elastic ponytail!

Hey guys! Our hair tutorial this week is the "reverse pull-through braid." This is a variation of the standard "pull-through braid" which has been a popular and trendy braiding / ponytail technique floating around on Pinterest, YouTube, and Instagram recently.

If you have not seen the original braid, linked below are a few video tutorials to check out from some of our friends and fellow hair vloggers (which show how to make the original braid as a ponytail and as a French braid.)

Our hair tutorial this week shows how to create gorgeous spiral curls using a curling wand.

"The Princessss" has been wearing these curls quite often to school lately. She loves that these curls will last 2 days with minimal time spent doing her hair on the second morning! On the third day, we usually use the leftover curls to make a cute updo or textured braided style.

We are loving the modern look of these wand curls. In my opinion, the curl pattern ends up looking much more natural than a standard curling iron ringlet.

We used the smallest attachment (19mm) in our NuMe "Curl Jam Set" for this tutorial, as the Princess prefers tighter curls. But, if you are wanting loose curls, or waves (which are so popular right now) you can use the same technique we used in our video (below) with a larger barrel instead.
