fishtail braid

Mermaid hair weave

A fishtail braid is a style of braid made by dividing hair into two sections and alternately crossing small strands from the outer edge of each section to the opposite side.

The technique creates a woven pattern resembling fish scales or a fish's tail.

It looks intricate but uses a simpler two-strand method rather than the three strands of a traditional braid: She wore her hair in a loose fishtail braid.
