Love this but wish the top part was a bit tighter it doesn't look like a fishtail until further down.

I so surprise about the video with a extension ( a big question to me ?)

I can't even do a fishtail. Tried every tutorial on YouTube and help from others and I still can't get it. Would love someone to do it for me!

I'm not sure if I like it actually! I think it looks a bit ratty.

This looks so sophisticated. I think a very modern set of bridesmaids could even wear this with some extra flowers in their hair or some kind of extra glam accessory. Great article!

Great article

Hahaha how did I miss this video the first time? I thought you were going to do a fish tail braid on your hair Oliva! I haven't seen these extensions in shops, but what a great idea for time poor people.

I do like Blake's fishtail braid, I would love to replicate the style, thanks for the video.

I'm hopeless at braiding my own hair but have always loved the look of braided hair. I'm definitely am going to try the Lady Jane Fishtail Hair Extension. Thanks for the how to video.

Look nice.

I have never really been into the fishtail braid look for myself. Great to know I can buy an extension if I do decide to rock it in the future

fishtail braid not my thing, but love messy do's!

Pink_Sugar 14 Nov 2015 4:03 PM

this is the only braid I know how to do besides the regular 3 strand.

I have done this before with my girls....it is not too hard to do and looks great

Some people are naturals at doing hair...sadly I'm not one of them. I watched my step daughter do one of these braids after seeing a pic of it a couple of years back before I'd seen them anywhere. She is a natural always has been even at 10 her hair would be perfect, always had hair envy of hers. Again, she has thick hair and mine is so thin. I wish my hair would look great in styles like this but my braid would look so thin

Chicklet 7 Nov 2016 11:22 PM

Yes, my fine hair would make a very thin-looking braid too.

Growing old 8 Jul 2015 11:20 AM

Wish I could get one in my mash of colours as this would be so easy. I'd love to see some styles for thin hair as the options are more limited. For instance, I'd love to use one of those bun ring things but my hair is too fine to cover one. Any ideas for us fine hair beauties?? Serious hair envy here ;) it hair is so healthy Olivia!!

Im in love, just wish my hair was longer.

Jessica712 6 Jul 2015 10:56 PM

Such an awesome hair style.

Miss19 6 Jul 2015 3:43 PM

I love doing fishtail braids. It looked difficult at first but it's quite easy.

That is a nice and pretty look for Spring coming

I prefer to braid my own hair, practising hard...

Goldcat 5 Dec 2014 10:42 AM

My fishtails always end up knotted.
