Waterfall braid - Arts, Crafts and DIY

27 Comments

Sounds tricky and looks tricky but actually, once you get the hang of it this waterfall braid is really easy. I’d recommend looking at a tutorial on youTube as it can be difficult to understand the concepts without seeing it done step by step.

Material

1 bobby pin

Method

Starting near your hairline, pick up three strands of hair as if you're starting a French braid. Then cross the strand closest to the top of your head over the middle section.
Cross the bottom section over the new middle section. Then cross the new top section over the new middle, and then the bottom over the middle. Now drop the middle strand down, so it blends in with the rest of your hair.
Pick up a piece about the same size from near your part. This strand becomes your new top section—cross it over the middle to continue the braid.
Cross the bottom strand over the new section and repeat steps 2-8 all the way around your head or until you want to finish.
Secure with a bobby pin by hiding it under some remaining hair.

I only have boys and I don’t think they’d let me do this to their hair. I’ll pass it on to my eldest son for his daughters or I’ll try it on them when they next visit.

This looks so lovely but my daughters hair is just too thick and we can’t get this right in her hair

This looks so cute. I don’t have any girls to try it on though.

I love braids, but do not always have the time to do this in the morning before school.

It actually looks easier then I imagined it to be. But I’m also picturing it won’t last long looking like this

A bit tricky getting your fingers in the right place but worth the trying!
