Waterfall Braid

The hottest trend this year is the waterfall braid. It’s easy and can be dressed up or worn casual, either way you’ll have the hair everyone is talking about!

 

How To:

1. Starting with clean dry hair and mist a sea salt spray through hair to give it some texture.

2. Using a large, 1 ½ inch curling iron, curl ends of hair. Make sure to let each curl cool before touching.

3. Once you establish where you want your part to be in the front, create a small section and divide it into three.

4. Begin to French braid this section, adding hair on the top section, but when you go to add hair in on the lower section, drop down the section that is in the braid, and add a new piece of hair from the length of hair. Continue this pattern across the back of your head. When you reach the other side, you have two options: secure the braid at the top near the hairline with a clear elastic, or continue the braid down through the length of hair.

5. To create a double waterfall braid as in the picture, go back to where you started the first braid and repeat steps to make a second braid, making sure to add the dropped down pieces into this braid.

A sea salt spray helps to add some grip to your braid and hold curls in all day. I recommend Label.m Sea Salt Spray. Layer it to create crazy texture or for very fine hair.

Best Face Shape and Hair Texture:

Any face shape or hair texture can wear this fun braid. Curly haired ladies can skip the curling iron and go with their natural curls. If you think your hair may be too short to pull this off, give it a try, you may be surprised on how easy it is.

Tips:

To really jazz this look up, try tying a ribbon in your hair and incorporating it into your braid. Just make sure to keep it in the braid, even if it’s in the hair that should be dropped down.
