How to:
1. Create a messy center part. Then, back-comb small sections of hair on either side to create more texture and volume.
2. Starting on one side of your head in front, begin your Dutch braid, which is basically an upside-down French braid, where you pick up more hair from the bottom — the side closest to your face. (Find a great Dutch braid video tutorial here.)
3. When you get to a point when you can't add in any more hair from the bottom, braid regularly until you get to the end of your hair, which you'll pin up against the back of your head.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of your head.
5. Wrap the end of this second braid around the hair you pinned down from the first. Tuck in any loose strands (though it doesn't need to look perfectly neat).
6. Tug at the braid to create a fuller, more texture finish.

I love braids but I can't follow any of the instructions. All the pictures look really nice but I'll prefer a video

Great ideas, I sometimes forget that these styles exist too, besides just having your hair down or waved/curled up.

I like braided hairstyles. They add such texture and femininity. I\'ve been using braided styles on my medium length hair as I grow it out, and am looking forward to more length to try more braid styles.

I love fishtail braids and they are supposed to be easy to do, but I just can't figure it out!
