STEP-BY-STEPS
Step one
Keeping the hair in a natural centre parting with a ghd tail comb, prep the hair with ghd root lift spray and allow it to dry naturally.
Step two
Separate both sides of the hair to create two low ponytails to sit on either side of your shoulders. Next, split these ponytails into two more sections.
Step three
Take a small section of hair from behind the left side. Pass it around the outside, over the front, and integrate into the right side.
Then, take a small section of hair from behind the right side. Pass it around the outside, over the front, and integrate into the left. This will form a fishtail braid.

Step five
Accessorise the look by adding neon bands to create a modern edge.
