Alicia Keys looks very hot with this funky fishtail braid. Hair expert Mark Woolley, Founder of Electric Hairdressing London said "A fishtail plait is a great summer look that works on both a causal or more glamorous level because of the illusion of intricacy required for such a look".

Alicia Keys Fishtall Braid Hairstyling Tip:

Step 1: Start with dry hair with smooth volume on top and subtle texture through your length.

Step 2: Leaving a few side-parted layers out in front, sweep your length to one side and place into a ponytail using a coated elastic band. Separate hair in thirds, then create a tight fishtail braid. Spritz with hairspray for all-day hold.
