Hello my dear ones,
Due to the fact that many of you asked me how I created my four strand fishtail braided updo, I made a quick tutorial for you. I love especially this hairstyle so much, because you can wear it classy or messy - for special occasions or just for your everyday life.

What you´ll need:
- a brush
- a 32mm curling wand
- some bobby pins
- 2 (clear) elastic bands
- hairspray
At first I put in my 22" Milk and Blush Hair Extensions in "stalker worthy" and curled my hair.
Start by sectioning your hair. At first part your hair into 2 parts, then part each again into two parts. Make sure that you have long hair in both far-outside strands. That´s why I like to keep the shorter hair, which frames my face, in the two inside sections (as you can see in the two pictures above).



After that, take a small piece of the right most strand, put it over this exact strand, tunnel it under the right and over the left of the two inside strands and add it to the left most strand. Now, repeat these steps, but alternately switch starting positions (left/right most strand): take a small piece of the left most strand, put it over this exact strand, tunnel it under the left and over the right of the two inside strands and add it to the right most strand. Now it should look like this:

After finishing these first two steps, you won´t need to look after your previous sectioning anymore and it will get easier with every further step you braid. I like to keep the outer sections secured by my pinkie all the time, so that the new added strands can´t flip away.
Keep going like this until you reach the end of your neck and secure each one of the two outer strands with an elastic band.

The next step is my favorite one: By loosening up the braid, you can make it look massier. The further you loosen, the massier it looks.


If you like to wear it as an updo, just wrap the ponytail around your hand, until it fits under the fishtail braid and you can´t see it any more. Secure it in place with some bobby pins and you´re almost done.
In the last step, I like to secure the hair above the braid with some bobby pins if it´s too loose and fix some protruding hair.
I hope, you liked the tutorial and would be happy, to see some of your tries! If you have any questions or suggestions, just leave them below in the comments.
Hugs,
