Fish Tail Flip


Start by sectioning the front of the hair where you will start the fish tail braid. 
You are going to fish tail braid the hair & pull the pieces from the sides (like you would a french braid) instead of just the sectioned part. It's super easy. Just pull a piece from the side & cross it over, continuing until you've gone down as far as you want. 
This is what it should look like. Section it off with an elastic. 
Pull the rest into a pony, including the fish tail. FISH TAIL BRAID the pony tail. 
Flip it up & secure with an elastic, having the ends stick out of it. 
I added some ribbon & then sprayed the ends with there stick out & rolled the hair over my fingers to give it a flipped look with the ends (instead of having to pull out my curling iron). That's all there is to it.

Super cute, it reminds me of a "whale tale" for some reason.
