Angel Wings, Fishtail Braid Tie Back Hairstyle

This week we are showing a variation of one of the styles included in our "7 easy hairstyles, part 2 video" we posted a few weeks ago.

Usually we make this "angel wings" style using regular (3 strand) braids or rope braids. But we decided to try it using fishtail braids and loved the end result, so of course we wanted to share it with you!

This would be a lovely braided half up hairstyle for school, church, the beach, weddings, recitals, dances, etc.  I think it has a very pretty bohemian princess look to it.  Depending on your preference, you can leave your fishtails smooth and tight, or you can stretch them out for a more relaxed, soft, and messy look like we did.

Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:

• 7 small/medium hair elastics
• Finishing hairspray (optional)

 FYI, the braiding for this style does take some time to complete (especially if you have long hair.) I would plan on around 10-15 minutes.  If you have done fishtail braids before, you probably know what I mean.  ;)  As mentioned in our video tutorial, if you are in a hurry, I would recommend using a different (faster) type of braid to create a similar look.
