Lucky ticket-holders are gearing up for the second weekend of Coachella 2019. If you didn’t snag tickets, don’t worry because you can still experiment with a festival beauty look. And nothing says festival season like braids. Rather than the traditional braid, try a fishtail braid. They add a lot of texture to the hair and really aren’t that complicated too. With so many options to choose from, you’ll want to wear the hairstyle to any of your future concerts and every other opportunity.
