HOW TO : WATERFALL BRAID

Here's my first attempt to do a hair tutorial and oh my, it's so much more difficult to do than I expected. I really hope you are able to understand what's going on here, if not, forgive me, I'll try the next time. This is a tutorial for a waterfall braid which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful hairstyles ever as this is a perfect hairstyle for everyday and for special occasions like prom or wedding. I actually wanted this to be my prom hairstyle but sadly my hairstylist at that time didn't really know how to do this and I ended up having something quite different than waterfall braid done to my hair but also very pretty.
 Now, after failing miserably many many times and several ohmygodhowtheydothis,I finally know how to do it myself and it really is not that difficult as it looks, it just takes a bit of practice and then it's pretty easy to do. Just don't give up if you don't succeed the first (or several) time like I did and then I've forgotten about this perfect hairstyle for a while. It's basically just the regular french braid with a little twist, so you should probably learn to french braid before you attempt to do this.

 1. Take a section of your hair at the top and divide in three equal sections.

 2 -3. Braid once as if it was a regular braid. Cross over, then over again and let the third strand down, don't cross this one over. Now you are left with only two strands.

 4. Add another strand from the lower part near the one you've just dropped and braid it over, this creates a new (the third) section.

 5. Add more hair to the section from the top and braid it over. the way you do when you are french braiding.

 6. Take the section that's the most on the right and drop it down. This strand has to be left hanging down like the previous one.

 7. Braid like this until you are satisfied with the result, then take some bobby pins and secure the braid by crossing them over, this way they won't fall down easily. You can always add some hair accessories to make the braid even more beautiful. Good luck!

Have a good day,
