How to: Waterfall Braid

How to: Waterfall Braid

        Hello! This blog post will show how to do a fish tail braid. This braid may seem a little challenging at first, but after some practice the braid is a piece of cake.

1) The first step is to brush your hair out. If you have knots in your hair, it will be extremely challenging to do the waterfall braid.

2) This step is optional, but I find that it is easier to clip one half of your hair to the side because this braid is only done on one side.

3) Next, select three strands of hair from one side of the head to start the braid.

4) Do a normal braid once for the strands, going under and over with each piece of hair.

5) Then, using the strand of the braid closest to the top of the head pick up another small strand of hair and add it to the other strand.

6) Continue doing basic braid, but when you get down to the bottom of the braid drop that strand of hair and pick up another one to continue with the braid. This step creates the waterfall effect of the braid.

7) Lastly, continue on with the braid following the same steps until finished. At the end of the braid, do a normal braid to finish up, and then add a clip to finish the braid.
