    How to do a fishtail braid

    The Grecian braid, commonly known as the fishtail braid, originated back in the 19th century, but is now making a comeback as a major hair trend across the nation. This type of braid is simple to do once you catch on to the basic technique, so if you are tired of the same old braid you wear to class, switch things up with this modern twist on the traditional braid. With the right accessories and wardrobe, this look can translate perfectly from a breezy day look for class to a sassy style for a night out.
