Summer Looks: The More Polished Fishtail Braid

Here's my more polished looking fishtail, I think I did a pretty good job (could've done a better job at not snipping off my nose!), have you given it a try yet?  This is a perfect example of how simple rolls can be combined with another style to create something interesting!

I made this decorative hair comb the same morning and it came out pretty nicely. I literally glued fabric to a piece of stiff plastic from some accessory packaging and then glued little flowers, glass stones and fuzzy whatchamacallits to it lol.  Then I glued on a plastic comb. Super easy!

@ Funbi, thanks! I'll show ya a quick tutorial, lemme round up a few more bobbles n beads I got around this house :)

@ LovenWright, thanks! I totally agree, the most adorable things come out of just sputtering around the house and are so random but fun lol

@ Renise, I noticed that some have called the fishtail a grecian braid, I definitely agree with ya, it has that Roman kinda feel!

It's gorgeous! I"ll have to try it the next time I stretch my hair. And if this 100 degree weather breaks, I might try a rollerset then give it a go. I'll email you a picture I took of a woman at a festival with the most stunning fishtail braid and hair accessory. I think I need a new glue gun because everything I glue falls off :(
