How to Create a Stunning Waterfall Braid
The waterfall braid technique involves dropping strands as you braid, creating that signature cascading effect. With practice, this impressive style becomes surprisingly manageable.
🧴Start with clean, brushed hair - straight or wavy textures work best
✂️Take a section near your part and divide into three strands
💨Begin a horizontal French braid, crossing the top strand over the middle
✨When crossing the bottom strand over, DROP it completely and let it fall
✂️Replace the dropped strand with a new section of hair from above
👆Continue this pattern: braid, drop, replace with new strand
🔸Work around the head until you reach your desired endpoint
💫Secure the end with a small clear elastic or bobby pins
