Double Fishtail Braid Tutorial Hairstyle

Double Fishtail Braid Hairstyle by Bebexo

One of my very first hair tutorials on my Bebexo youtube channel was a basic fishtail braid. Back then, there were barely any hair tutorials on youtube so that particular video managed to garnish over 1 million views within the first few months. These days, there are hundreds of fishtail braid tutorials so I wanted to bring back an oldie with a new twist.

I call this the Mermaid Fishtail braid because I borrowed the technique from the mermaid tail braid that I posted a few years back. With this braid, all you have to do is create two reverse fishtail braids and pin them together. Watch my step-by-step video tutorial below to see how it’s done.
