This Part-Dutch, Part-Fishtail Tutorial Will Cause Major Braid Envy

The best thing about festival season isn’t the exclusive concerts or the chance to travel. No, every beauty-lover knows a weekend of music equals an all-out braid love fest. We enlisted the help of T3 stylist and Chrissy Teigen’s mane man, David Lopez, to create an epic two-part plait perfect for a night jamming out to Drake or Deadmau5. From one side it looks like a classic fishtail braid, but a quick twirl shows there is actually a dutch braid on the other side (can you say two-faced?).

This plait is perfect for the indecisive woman who has trouble making tough beauty choices, and it works best on dirty, second-day hair — just dust your strands with dry shampoo before you style to get a good grip. Plus, we break down the fishtail braid step by step because no matter how many video tutorials we watch, it’s still so hard! Just add a flower crown and temporary tattoos to complete the bohemian vibe.

Create a side part. Make a dutch braid from temple to nape, bringing the braid around behind the opposite ear. Make sure to leave a little bit of hair out around the ear to frame the face. Leave out any bangs, too.

Once all the hair is over to one side, convert the plait into a fishtail.

Start with two sections, then take a thin piece of hair from the outside of the left section.

Place the hair over the braid, and combine with the left side.

Then, take a small section from the outside of the right section.

Place that piece over the braid to combine with the larger left section. Finish off the braid with a clear elastic at the ends.

Dishevel the dutch braid by slowly pulling the plait apart.
