Does that look anything like a fishtail braid? I can't seem to get it! Any advice on how to make it better?

Take four strands. Left over middle two. Right over middle two. And so on. Use small strands, not thick, or it will just end up looking like a normal braid.

Well I split my hair in half and then take half of one and put it over the rest and then take half from the other side and put it over and so on.. they will be kinda thick at first but I think that it's a good thing because it builds a sort of foundation or better hold.

Do you overlap them? Or do you just put them together?

I think it looks like a fishtail! Just a small one. It took me lots of practice to get the fishtail down. I think it's easier to start with wet hair.

I just watched some of those videos. Does it look any better? It's kinda hard to see because it's dark.
