“I was dubious I could do fish tails in five minutes, but I got faster each time,” says fashion assistant Lauren Tardanico. “It’s easier with damp hair.” Apply a styler to hair and make two ponytails. Working with the left pony, split it in half. Grab a piece of hair from the side of one of thosehalves and bring it over to the other. Now grab a piece of hair from that one, swing it over to the other half and pull tight. Continue all the way down and tie the end. Repeat on the right side.

Mouton’s recommends using a mousse like Sebastian’s Mousse Forte. It has a strong hold which for this look can be applied to dry hair to add hold for the braids. Perfection is not the key here, this is a fun summer look!
