Waterfall Braid

[Vanille_]

I'm just curious about this braid (found on pinterest). Is this something that someone would have to have help with? I mean, could you feasibly do this on your own? Also, do you think it would hold up well? I mean, do you think it would fall apart or just look bad after an hour or so?

I've done this braid on my own. If you can do a french braid, you can do this. Check Youtube, there are lots of tutorials! And since it's basically a french braid, it holds up really well. Good luck!

I've tried doing this braid, it looks alot prettier in light hair. It hold's up the same as a regluar french braid.

Seems like it would favor straight hair, too, as it's really emphasizing the lines and divides in the pieces of hair.
I bet you could do it on your own, but I think it definitely would need some practice, especially to get it that even. It looks beautiful in that picture.

Gorgeous. I don't think it would work with my thick wavy hair though :(

I do this braid in my hair all the time. Once you understand how it works, it's really easy to do. I agree with previous posters though, it looks far better in light, straight hair.

I love this braid! Tried it on mine a few times but it just didn't look good. My hair is just too thick and wavy/curly.

I do this on DD10. Her hair is a medium brown and I think it looks great. I want to try it on DD5 just to see what it looks like as her hair is both darker and curlier, but I haven't done it yet. Hmm...wonder what it looks like in salt & pepper?:p Maybe I'll figure that out on myself sometime just to see.:D

As far as holding up, it did relatively well on DD10 through a school day--meaning a few pieces were a little disheveled, but it still looked good.

I've done this one and it held up great. I had some difficulty getting the angle right, but the braid itself is easy enough.

I love a waterfall braid. Once you watch a couple of tutorials and practice it a few times you should be able to do that beautifully all by yourself! :) Happy braiding.

This is one of my favorite braids and looks more difficult than it actually is... and it stays really well too!

Oooo! I need to do this with my DD's hair. It's stick straight and she would love it!

My 13 year old who has long light brown curly hair loves to wear this braid! Its pretty easy!

This tutorial has been very helpful:

I love this braid but it doesn't suit me very well...

I've done it, I have a poor picture of it on my album :)
I found it under the name "Fairy Tale Braid"

Have fun and post pictures!

I love that style braid. One of these I'll have to attempt it on myself. Though I'm not the greatest at braider in the world. :p
