As a single dad just trying to get my daughter to look cute in public, this was incredibly helpful! Thanks!
You're a very brave man
aww thats cute lol
Awww go, single dads! 🤗
aw
Aww
33 years old and I can finally do a fishtail braid. My 3 year old will be so happy. Thank you!
I'm a person that uses multiple learning styles, and the fact that you recognized this really helped. It probably would've taken me weeks to get this hairstyle down, but I got it almost immediately. Thank you!
Any tips? I’m struggling ❤
FINALLY!!! This is the ONLY video for fishtail braiding I found helpful! I am definitely subscribing! Btw, now I know how to fish tail braid!
Me to :p
I agree--extremely helpful! I only needed to watch half the video to figure it out and got it right on first try. I credit Kayley and not my natural ability as I am 32 and don't even know how to French braid my hair/ just barely getting into braiding. Thaaank you!
My mother is sleeping and I am trying this braid on her head😅😅🙈🙈🙊🙊
Sumbal Tariq omg wth
Good luck with that...
Mood
Oh please tell us how that ended up 🤣🤣
LMAO
Kayley I just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate the confidence builder part of this! I have a disability in my left side which means I can't really move my left fingers independently of each other so i can't do most braids but with your way i can!! thank you so much
Hair so Beautiful
god bless you 💛
God bless you🙏🌅🌅 I'm glad to hear that😊😊
"Step 1 is to pick up a little piece of hair" Me: *grabs hair* I quit
LOL!Love this one! I have tons of great hair tutorials as well. Come, check em out!
co ordination is all it takes . like colour by numbers sort of idea.all reds are number 1 all green are number tweo and work on that stratagy with hair number 1 being red , hai r number 2 being green and follow suit.
You'll get it, don't worry! I got it after a couple of tries🙂🙂🙂
so true... so true XD
It is realy easy I’m only 9 I can do it
I love that you are making updated how to "braid" videos. I've been watching these since forever!
Wow! Thankyou. I'm 60yrs with waist length hair for most of my life. I can braid, French braid etc. But fish tail always looked so complicated, so I finally with the help of UA-cam and you, I find its not scary or that complicated at all. I will be sporting fish tail braids from now on. I know this is an old vlog, I hope you see this message. Thankyou!
70 years old. Just did my first fishtail braid. Ready for Christmas!! Thanks. Not as hard as I thought! Glad you have a video, I can come back to refresh. :)
This just made my evening 💕💕💕. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!
I love love love how you explain everything so well it makes doing hairstyles way easier
so considerate
Caleigh Grace loved this video!!
Thank you for this! I’m 40 something and finally learned how to do a fishtail braid! Super helpful!
Oh Thank God!!! finally I dont have to cry anymore when I watch your videos because your hairstyles are so beautiful and I can't do them. I've watched so many videos on how to braid and they always just made my brain hurt yours actually makes sense. thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is the best braid tutorial on UA-cam. You explain the WHOLE thing and don’t just speed up the rest of the braid. Thanks so much
Me:* trying to make a fishtail braid*
Also me: *Somehow makes A regular braid with for parts*
Wait... that’s not right...
I did that too, maybe we invented a new braid :)
You have the concept...just grab less hair next time ❤
Me to
it took me 2 hrs.. i started making regular braids, but i just figured it out and made it work. :) i finally got it.
Same xD
5:32 time stamps for people who can’t do hair 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
Thanks so much! I have watched almost twenty other videos on how to do this and was lost with no idea what they were doing. after watching 5 seconds of this I already understood what to do. I normally go to school with a TERRIBLE messy bun and was looking for something that doesn't scream homeless. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! ilysm!
I just want to share that after 20 years of trying to learn to do a fishtail braid (I'm 27 years) I have officially got it down because of this video! Thank you so so much!
I know a really old video but i keep coming back to it over and over again. There is no better tutorial on youtube. Thank you Kayley
You explain it so professionally
Hi fellow black screen
Apple pie 15 I
Apple pie 15 black screen gang
But it still makes sense...magic
Omg thank you for once, somebody who actually has more than one way and I did it!!!!
I just learned how to fishtail braid!! Thank you. So easy when you know what you're doing.
Thank you so much for this it’s the only tutorial for fishtail braiding on UA-cam that I found helpful(I can fish tail now !!!!!!!)
Is it just me or does anyone else think she would make a great educator? Those analogies are actually incredibly helpful and a great communication tool! Also, great tutorial and the ONLY truly helpful one of these. Thanks.
Her: *grab two parts of hair*
Her: *and then-*
Me: *wAiT*
Lol 😂😂
Omg I remember the original braid encyclopedia video way back when! It was such a great video to help me first learn about braided hairstyles! So glad you're doing an updated version now :)
Also I love the motor skills explanation! I've always been iffy with the fishtail because I get the concept but it always ends up looking funky
I was thinking of the same thing! It's what initially brought me to her channel I believe!
Ahh psychology in the teaching.. i love that! compassionate in that everyone learns different, i think that's so considerate.. awesome❤
This is fantastic. The clearest tutorial on fishtail braids on UA-cam. Thank you
Ashamed to admit how many videos I watched trying to get this braid right. This was the only one that finally made it stick. 👏 Thank you!
I'm only here because my girlfriend wants me to braid her hair and never done it before
Maybe do a different style of braid. This may not really be the braid she means. Google braids. Maybe do one of those. Good luck 😅
Just realised this was posted months ago....anyway
How cute. ☺
Zavier Red awww
Xavier Paibomsai someone’s getting some serious points
Hope yall are still going strong lol
Waterfall braid tutorial should be the next segment! 😊
Yessss! They're so pretty but whenever I try to do them it just ends up as a twisted mess! 😂
Kayleen Cadalin yes
Agreed! I really appreciate this video series - you make it simple.
Kayleen Cadalin I didn't know those were still cool.
yes u are right...........
I remember giving up because I thought this was too difficult, but trying it now, or at least using your tutorial, it seems so easy. Too bad I had my hair cut so it's a little short, but still works like a charm!
I rarely leave comments but wanted to let you know that you have taught me how to do a fishtail braid in less than 5 minutes! After the first demo, I had it and I’m grateful for you and this video.
Thanks a bunch!🤗🌸
Why am I just now finding this?!? I’m 32 and struggled with braids forever and I feel like my brain just got it!!! I love how you explain it in so many ways...love it! Thanks!
Yesss! Thank you! I have Cerebral palsy, and therefore the motor skills of my right hand are quite crappy. But I could do it! The only braid I now am able to do!
I started where I could see the base, my right hand held one half of the braid and I basically did the work with my left thumb. It turned out quite ok :) Since my hair is sooo long (to the base of my butt :P ) it took me a while :D
Are there any other braid options I could manage?
@@lightpb worth a try ty :)
Yay!! My sister has serbral palsey, so she knows exactly how u feel, great job !!
Tell me hoooooooow i cant do any of the braids not even to 3rd one now i feel even more discouraged to try doing braids ever again welp at least i tried. :c
Omg same my hair is that long Aswell I was like oh how in hell heaven and earth am I gonna reach the bottom of my hair
I'm 33 years old and I've been trying to fishtail braid for YEARS! Finally!!!! And the most awesome part is with your tutorial I actually did it without a mirror 😳 Thank you so much!
*Thank you so much for this!* I've never been really good at braiding my hair because it's so long and thick, and I get discouraged very easily when I don't understand where my fingers go. Your tutorial was very simple and easy to understand, and the three ways of doing it made it incredibly easy to follow along! For the first time, it clicked for me how go do this. Thank you so much!!!!!!
This was SO easy!! I had absolutely no idea how to do a fishtail braid, and when I looked it up on Google this was the first to pop up. I watched 2 minutes of it and now I know exactly what to do. And you do it so well!! Thank you!
I've been trying to do a fishtail braid for 8 years . Your video just made it so easy . I get it now , I'm the hands on leaner.thank you so much !
Thanks, this was SOOO helpful. As I am only 12, I could never do much with my hair but this helped A TON.
I FORGOT I NOW HAVE SHORT HAIR AND I PAID SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THIS OMG
ARIEL don't worry I have a pixie cut
I keep forgetting that I cut my hair 😥
same tho
ARIEL SAMEEEE
😂😂 same
I've never tried this befote watching your video. you explained it so well it came out great the first try! I never knew how easy it could be and can't wait to experiment with more!!
It wasn’t on this video, but when I saw you do a fishtail braid on a different video and I saw how you moved your fingers, I decided to give it a go. I tried doing it years ago but I COULD NOT get it at all. But after just looking at how your fingers moved, I managed to get a stunning fishtail braid first try!
This video is so great and I love that you even gave a method that even people who are hopeless with hair could do. Keep up the good work!
This is like the most efficient, accurate and the best tutorial I have seen yet. I would recommend this to everyone!
The "confidence builder" method worked like a charm! I could ever braid my hair for the life of me, so thank you so much ;;
Rope braid will be great. Like those that you start from the top of the head with small sections and gradually increase the amount. Whenever I try, I'll always mess it up. Initially, for 1min, it will stay tight before it loosens up and falls all over the place.
Btw, Kayley you are amazing!!! I haven't tried any of your hairstyles lately because my hair is at medium length but I'm like one of those who watches the videos because of the "omg so fabulous" hair and your videos are generally really nice to watch. :D
The first braiding tutorial I've seen that makes sense!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.. AFTER A HUNDRED OF TUTORIAL I'VE WATCHED AND THOUSAND OF PRACTICE I FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH YOUR VIDEO. EASY FOR BEGINNER.
I have french braided my hair for 40 years by myself but could never figure this out!- within 2 minutes I has a ( albeit messy) new fishtail braid!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
For someone who could only do the standard braid, your tutorial was super easy to follow! I can now do fish tail braids too 🙌🏻
Omg thank you for this!!!!! I actually just fishtail braided my hair as soon as I finished watching and it actually came out really good!!!
You are so damn adorable and great at explaining this insanely simple hairstyle that I somehow didn’t learn how to do until this point in my life even after completing cosmetology school, years of theatre And performance, and several years running a professional wig and costume design company. Thank you for this!
This is the best video for fishtail braids. I've tried this for years and not til this have I been able to 'get it.' Thank you so very much for helping me out!
You’re a great teacher. I braided a 42 inch wig after the first example.
She explains it so well!! Is she a professional hair stylist??
Thanks sooo much for this REAL step by step tutorial! It was so helpful 😄
It is so easy now! I love the way how you explain it! Its much more easier for me to follow 😂
Okay GIRL, I know I'm late.... but you are brilliant! Thank you for catering to different ways of learning.....
literally been trying to learn how to do this pretty and fast my entire life and even after cosmetology school a fishtail still took me FOREVER. this is a much easier way (i needed version two, version one i already knew) got this down and cut my braid time probably in half. thank youuu
this tutorial was so thorough and helpful!! make more simple tutorials like this, please!
Kayley, this is such a great tutorial! I've never seen one like this before on youtube... I mean, it's awesome that you explain exactly how to move your fingers in you hair and the analogies are quite funny! Keep doing tutorials like these, I love it! Also, I would like to suggest the dutch braid for the next video, I find it so hard to do it, my hands DO NOT follow what is in my head!
I understood the first demonstration so much easier than how anybody else has tried to show me. This is so much easier than I thought!
i have watched 10000s of braiding tutorials and have never been able to braid , this is the first time EVER i am able to do a fish tail braid! this tutorial was incredibly helpful and i loved how you explained it so well, subscribed. x
no lie, i watched so many fishtail tutorials in the past, and not once was i able to follow thru or braid my hair as shown on the videos. Then today i randomly stumbled upon your video, and just like that, with just a one-time watch, i was able to fishtail braid my hair
girl, i love you already! you are UNLIKE other beauty gurus out there, you actually take the time to really guide us clueless people
This is actually my first successful braid 🐎🐴 thank you!!! I feel like all my friends horses are in for a hairdo lol 😆
Hehehe! Watch out!!
This video was so helpful! Thanks! I would love to see more beginner hairstyles! :)
This is a way easier method than the 4 strand monstrosity I was attempting everyday.. brb after braiding my grandmas hair
Finally! I have tried for ever to learn this. You are the only one that has ever been able to explain it to me in a way I can understand. Thank you!
Ok..I commented last night that your tutorial looked like it would be easy..well after YEARS of braiding others hair I was actually able to do a fishtail braid on my own hair!! (FYI..my hair is past my waist, so lots to braid). I followed the technique you showed #3 & it came out beautiful. THANK YOU! You rock at teaching!!
You just made it SO simple and doable- THANKS!
Lol I laughed so hard at the umbilical cord part 😂 Totally doin this on my long hair today!
nobody:
me: i quit
Literally me
I have watched SOOOO many videos and THIS was the one that actually taught me how to do the fishtail bread. Totally following now.
This is super good. Soo clear. I might watch these just to watch them. I'm definitely recommending this channel to anyone who needs it
Wow I actually understand this completely!! I just completed my first fish tail! The motor skills method really helped me understand how it worked. Thank you
You seem to be awonderful person - thank you for this really helpful tutorial!
She's so good at explaining if only she taught calculus 😩
Omg my exact thought 😂
Edit: I wish more of the tutors at my college explain in detail like her
Kayley, You made things soooo easy...Thanks a lot...
Kayley, do a tutorial on regular three strand braid doing it in the side and back...
So right after you said, "pass the ball" it immediately clicked and I went to go try it on my daughter. It may not be the best looking but I finally did my first fishtail braid and I'm super proud. Thank you for the tips!!!
Thank you!!!!! I have two daughters and even though people have tried to teach me, it was your video that really did! Your an excellent teacher!
I may never even actually perfectionize that and always my braid will be really loose, but Oh My God!!! You're so cute!!! I love you♡ The friends reference tho!! Awwww!! Hey girl, you sure got yourself a fan😂😍
Can you do a tut on how to do a French braid / Dutch braid? I know the concept of them but I can not get it right every time I do it. 🙈🙈🙈
Jessica Braunscheidel same
Could you do a video on tips to braid your hair
Also do a house tour
Last do a video on hairstyles for shoulder length layered hair
As someone with rheumatoid arthritis, thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! Helpful and straight to the point!
more power to you
Hi, Kayley! I just wanted to tell you; I was a teacher for several years, and you are a FANTASTIC teacher! If you ever wanted to pursue in education, you'd be great at it!
Brilliant! I need tutorials like this where it explains the technique in different ways. Perhaps next you could do french braiding? I can do it, but my method is slow and not commonplace, so having a video explain your own method would be awesome.
Very nice 👍
The Kazoo Queen lol
I love ur personality, and I think u have a really lovely sweet heart
thanks for the detailed information
Can you please do a waterfall braid tutorial next. Thanks. Love you ❤️❤️
This worked! So impressed and did it perfectly the first time!! Once I picked up a section and transferred twice, I got it! About midway through, I didn’t even need to look in the mirror and was walking around doing it:)
I just want to say I've watched a number of videos on how to do this braid to my own hair & yours was the easiest to follow & learn! Thanks 👍
I'm so good at fishtailing other peoples hair, but I can't do my own
Me tooo
keri keeney same😂
Same
Me too....:-(
Ikr!!
Wow! I can finally do a fishtail braid. Thanks. I had to start with dropping one side first like you showed in the confidence builder :) I would like to learn to French braid- even on half my head. My hair is really thick and long and I have trouble holding all my hair and my hair gets tangled. Ugh lol
E D im happy for you ×D
thanks fr sharing good explanation step by step thumbs up
You’re the absolute BEST braid teacher EVER!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you!!
Best tutorial!!! I watched the “recommended” section and was able to braid my hair within minutes. Great explanations on the technique, finger positioning, and I love the “cut the umbilical cord” explanation!!!
I made it finally,❤️ many thanks for ur explanation. U r so gorgeous 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻
can u please do a video how to style long layered hair like not that long but its not medium
Aki Inokuchi yes pls
OMG!! This actually helped! I just suck at doing hair 😅
Excellent! In all my years of french braiding my hair, I have NEVER tried this one, but I really love them!
Great video.. thank you!
I never thought I would successfully do a fishtail braid in life. I watched half of this video and did a perfect one in ten minutes. Thank you 🙌🏾
