The Ultimate Mermaid Braid Tutorial

1. Start with a deep side part and pull all the hair over the opposite shoulder. 2. Divide out a section of hair at the back of the head on the heavy side of the part. 3. Divide this into three pieces for the braid. 4. Cross the back strand over the middle. 5. Cross the front strand over the middle. 6. Cross the back strand over the middle, then bring in small section of hair directly below where the braid began.

7. Cross the front strand over the middle and add in a small section of hair directly in front of the braid. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7, pulling in skinny sections until the braid reaches the bottom of the hair. 9. Once all the hair is braided, tie off the end with an elastic band.
