Nomadic Fishtails

Inspired by Himalayan landscapes, Etro‘s rugged take on the fishtail braid was something we can’t wait to try ourselves. “I see the models as nomads who’ve traveled the Silk Road from China through Mongolia, Tibet and Nepal, passing through sandstorms and high winds of harsh travel,” said hairstylist Eugene Souleiman, who achieved the rugged look by making sure the hair had lots of texture. Check out The Beauty Department‘s fishtail braid tutorial after the jump for a super easy refresher.

  10. LOVE this braid. It’s so intricate looking and soooo mermaid-esque sexy. It looks tricky to execute though ;-( For me anyway.

    Ah, I go crazy over fishtail braids from the first time I saw them! It’s just that my hands are somehow entirely incapable of producing anything more than a regular braid. Such a shame.
    This take on the fishtail braid look freaking awesome, especially on brighter hair color!
    Who knows, maybe one day I will actually be able to braid one of these by myself… Well, a girl can dream, right?
    Thanks for sharing these, they are just so adorable!
