Moreover, your two French braids, unlike the pigtail braids, don\u2019t have to be left flowing straight down behind you. You can get creative by <a href=\"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/loop-braids-hairstyles\/\">looping<\/a> your French braids, tying them together at the ends, or possibly curling the ends.

This style looks amazing with just one French braid or with multiple French braids all going the same way.

The hair is first braided down the head as French braids, after which the remaining length of the hair is braided into a fishtail. A fishtail braid is made by dividing the hair in half so that you have two large strands, then repeatedly sectioning off smaller strands and crossing them in between the large ones. Fishtail braids look complicated but are fairly easy once you get the hang of it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

Half-up, half-down French braids are made by parting the hair horizontally along the back or crown of the head to create two sections: an upper and a lower section. The upper section, or the section to the front, is plaited into a number of French braids while the lower section is left to fall loosely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.

To get the perfect French twist, start by gathering all your hair to one side of the head, then placing a few hair pins in the middle of the head in order to hold all the hair to that one side. Then, starting with the ends, begin to roll up your hair towards the middle of your head\u2014in the opposite direction in which the hair is swept. If done correctly, you\u2019ll end up with a vertical roll in the middle of the head. Lastly, tuck the remaining hair inside the top and bottom openings of the formed roll and use bobby pins to secure the roll along the sides. The longer your hair or <a href=\"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/weave-braid-hairstyles\/\">weave<\/a>, the bigger and more pronounced your twist will be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13.
