Trend Alert: The Fishtail Braid

Hottest new trend in hair styles? 

The fishtail braid.

Everywhere I look, celebs and fashionistas alike are twisting their locks into a chic little fishy tail braid!

Whitney Port is the queen bee of trendy, fun hairstyles. This pic is a mini tutorial to get her flawless braid, or you can go here for the how-to segment featured in Us Weekly!

Just a few more months and my hair will be long enough to sport the fishtail. 

Word to the wise: Do not cut your hair short if you love playing with all sorts of fun do's and styles. You will be very sad when you go to play dress-up and there is nothing there to twist, knot or braid. Granted there are mounds of funky, cute short hair styles and you can always go the extensions route if you have $600 smacks just laying around.
