Hairy question

Teach me to braid my hair like this.

I really love how Emily Robison from the Dixie Chicks has her hair braided in this video (the braid shows up around 1:48 -- she's the one in the green sweater). I think they must have put extensions in to get the braid that substantial. It's obviously not the standard braid where you plait three pieces together, so how did they do that? What's this style of braid (if it's that) called?

Response by poster: Awesome! I know this was a silly question, and I wouldn't have asked it had I known it was called a fishtail braid! Thanks so much, everyone! I've loved that look for years and finally have long enough hair to do it.
