nice job Archel. Dang good for a first try, I'd be on like try 20 and still not looking as even

Wow, that's so beautiful. I don't have nearly enough hair for that but I'll definitely try it when mine gets longer. I'm still working on figuring out the waterfall braid.

Really nice but boy, it's fancy!

Thanks everyone! See, nobody is noticing the breakage but me. Thanks for pointing out the good while I'm focusing on the bad. That's why I love you guys! <3

When my hair is at my waist I am so going to try it like the video. I have never seen anything like that before!

most of it is extensions if you look at her other videos. She uses high quiality real hair extensions and has a vdeo of her putting them in.

Wow, that was just amazing! It doesn't seem possible that a person could do that to their own hair and then you watch her do it.

So, I had to go and try it myself. The actual technique of adding a strand at the top and dropping the bottom one to add a new strand was easy to pick up, but the part I had serious trouble with was resuming the pattern after wrapping a length of braid around the back. Anyway, here is my pathetic rats nest:

(Feel free to point and laugh, I did.)

I immediately took out the disaster and attempted a more basic waterfall braid. I must say, I love the look! Makes me think of sunlight in a dark forest and unicorns. Definitely unicorns. I flew threw the left side but then had trouble making my hands to the opposite maneuvers on the right side. Not too shabby:

I really have to say, her accent is stunning.

Awesome tutorial and updo!

It reminds me of a variation on the carousel braid, which I tried a while ago. Here's Torrin's video tutorial on it.

When I get a chance I'll definitely try this one out, although it looks a lot more complicated . . .

For those interested, I have a photo of my attempt at the carousel braid in my updos album.

Yes, it is very similar to Torrin's carousel braid! I love that one. Well, I love it on her, and I hope one day to love it on me when my hair is longer.

I think the carousel braid is a little bit tighter and maybe not so delicate and fragile.
