Now that summer is officially here, I’m having fun trying out different styles on Princess’s hair. I’m no professional, but I’ve managed to pull together some pretty awesome dos that have been getting a lot of positive feedback. I share some of my styling tips on my BabyCenter blog.
One of my tips include, finding inspiration.The Disney movies we’ve been watching lately have inspired us to recreate a few looks. After seeing, Finding Nemo, I’ve been wanting to try the fishtail braid on her hair. It’s cute, fun, and perfect for the summer.

If you’ve been keeping up with this here blog, then you know my little girl does not like to hold still. This was my first attempt at this style, and needed her to stay put. With a little help from her trusty “lil T.V.” (aka the Ipad), I was able to get it done, while she watched her shows.
I completed the fishtail braid in four easy steps:
1. I sprayed her hair with water and detangled.
2. Sealed in moisture with a little almond oil.
3. I smoothed her already detangled strands at the roots with a rat-tail comb (you can also use a soft brush.)
4. I separated the hair into three sections and began with a normal braid. The only difference is that I used smaller sections as I continued braiding.
I did pretty well on my first try. Now all it takes is a few minutes to achieve this look.
Here’s a video tutorial of the fishtail braid.
