- 1). Comb or brush your hair thoroughly. Part your hair down the center of your head. This divides your hair into two equal portions, one for each side of your head.
- 2). Grasp approximately a 1-inch section of hair running from your temple to your sideburns from the left side of your face, using your left hand. Draw this back towards the back, or crown, of your head and cross it over the right section of your hair. Hold this section of hair firmly in place with your left hand.
- 3). Grasp approximately a 1-inch section of hair running from your temple to your sideburns from the right side of your face, using your right hand. Draw this back towards the back, or crown, of your head and cross it over the left-hand section of your hair. Press firmly on the cross-over point with your right hand to hold both sections in place and release your left hand.
- 4). Take a new section of hair, still of approximately a 1-inch section, from underneath the first section of hair on the left hand side of your face, using your left hand. Draw this back to the crown of your head and over the right-hand section. Press firmly on the cross-over point with your left hand to hold both sections in place and release your right hand.
- 5). Continue in this fashion, taking approximately one inch sections from alternative sides of the head, and from underneath the previous section, until you reach the nape of your neck. Insert a bobby pin into your braid to keep it in place.
- 6). Take hair, still in one inch sections, from alternate sides and from underneath your forming fish braid. Continue crossing it over until there is approximately 3 inches of hair remaining that you have not braided. Secure your hair with a covered elastic hairband and remove the bobby pin.
