French Herringbone Braid

I need to start designing my competition braid style ...fml.
But yesterday we were talking about makeup and braiding, and we got on the subject of herringbone(fishtail) braids.

For some people this braid is very difficult to figure out, and thats just doing it with a ponytail. I enjoy the more difficult things, and thus I enjoy making things difficult for myself... orz.

Anyways, so experiemented on two of the other girls in my office with longer hair, the above pictured is my supervisor. I did a side french herringbone braid, and it actually turned out pretty good.

And yes, she did ask for it messy.
