A fishtail is one of the braids that looks very complex and that it takes some serious skill to weave. This couldn't be further from the truth. Fishtails are actually quite easy if you can follow a few simple instructions.

10. French braid (h/t Jenny Delish)
You can't go wrong with a classic look, and that's exactly what a French braid is. I used to think this hairstyle was so hard to do, but it's quite simple. And it works equally well for workouts or going out on the town.
