Blake Lively’s braid…

Gossip girl beauty and fashion’s IT girl Blake Lively is known for her gorgeous blonde locks and we love how she always mixes things up on the red carpet with fierce, fabulous and always different do’s!

We totally fell in love with Blake’s hair at the premiere of her new flick Savages. Blake rocked an amazing tousled fishtail braid and it looked hot, hot, hot! The fishtail braid is going to be huge for Summer 2012- perfect for hot summer nights on the town!

Blake gave the trend her own touch with an edgier less-than-polished fishtail braid and we love it!

This do works best with hair that isn’t sparkly clean- wash your locks the day before (or even 2), it’s much easier to work with!

Spray a thickening spray before braiding (or you can even add extensions to increase bulk).

Now time to get braiding your fishtail braid!
1.Divide your tresses into two sections.

2.Take about a one-half- to one-inch portion of hair from the very outer portion of the right section and cross it over so that it joins the left section.

3.Do the same exact step on the other side: take about a one-half- to one-inch section of hair from the very outer portion of the left side and cross it over so that it becomes part of the right section. Think of this as wrapping the hair in a figure-8 pattern.

4.Repeat, taking a section from the right and moving it over to the left.

5.Be sure to keep a firm grip on both sections of hair as you’re working to ensure your braid stays put.

6.Finish off your ‘Blake’ braid by fastening the braid with an elastic band wrapping your hair around it- glam!
