Dutch fishtail braids are perfect as a summer hairstyle! This braid is so easy to do once you got the hang of moving the hair around. There are only 2 strands, so it’s a lot easier to do than a regular french braid or dutch braid.
A dutch fishtail braid does take a while to do because you have to take really really small sections, but it´s so worth it looking at the finished braid!

How to dutch fishtail braid your own hair
As written before, it does take quite a while to do a dutch fishtail braid, but if you want to do the dutch fishtail braid quicker, then just take some bigger sections when you add hair to the braid.
Taking bigger sections of hair will change the appearance of the braid, as some of the details lie in the small sections, but you will get done faster and still have a beautiful braid!
If a dutch fishtail braid is too difficult for you or you just want something that’s a bit quicker to do, then I have linked a basic fishtail braid tutorial down below for you to check out!
