The summer comes and brings frizzy messy hair with it! But then we saw the gorgeous Leana Lewis and her pretty side fishtail braid and we decided that this summer its going to be different! The side fishtail braid is absolutely the best hair style for summer, it tames frizz and gives you style at the same time. Oh wait there is more… you can un-braid it for naturally gorgeous waves at night!

This style is not as hard as it looks!  The steps:

.

Start by separating the hair in two sections. On the right hand side, take a small outside section and cross over and merge with the left hand side. Repeat with the left hand side and continue until you get to the bottom.  Secure with a band and then lightly pull it loose to create a messy look. Check out this video tutorial we found for more detailed instructions!
