One of the most attractive and at the same time simple hairstyles is the waterfall braid. It is a braid braided across the head, from which curls fall, like the waves of a waterfall flowing down, which is what the name describes. Such a pigtail is not woven like ordinary "spikelets" and "dragons", so it is important to understand the whole technology and principle of weaving, and then the hairstyle will turn out beautiful and successful.
First of all, the hair must be put in order - it must be clean and even. To make them easier to comb and separate into strands, it is advisable to apply a smoothing cream or mousse on them - this way the hair will become more obedient, and the hairstyle will last longer. The “waterfall” braid is woven from one side of the head to the other, that is, “from ear to ear”. Therefore, most often, for convenience, the beginning of the braid is taken precisely from the left ear.
So, grabbing a strand from the side and dividing it into three equal parts, we begin to weave an ordinary braid. Then, gradually, a new bundle of hair is applied to the top strand, which is captured from the top.heads. This bundle is stretched and goes down, after which the weaving of the main braid continues in the usual manner. It is important to know that the “waterfall” pigtail can be located either exactly, parallel to the ground, or obliquely, that is, with a downward slope.
After the “waterfall” braid reaches its extreme point, it must be fixed. It is important that the end of the pigtail looks as aesthetically pleasing and neat as the hairstyle itself, so it is not recommended to use large and tight elastic bands. It is best to choose a thin rubber band to match your hair, and then secure the tip of the pigtail with hairpins or invisible ones. However, at the end of the braid, you can also make an accent in the form of a beautiful hairpin. The main thing is that it matches the appearance and occasion.
The main advantage of the French waterfall hairstyle is its versatility and variety of shapes and options. It looks perfect and attractive both on straight hair and on curled curls. In addition, the waterfall braid goes well with cocktail dresses in the evening, and during the day it can be safely braided to work, and it will become the main accessory of a strict business look. And due to its strength, the waterfall braid may not unravel for several days.
The above braiding technology can be supplemented and changed in any way. Such a hairstyle can be braided from one ear to another, obliquely, as well as in a “mirror” version - that is, to connect two braids coming from twoopposite sides, into one. You need to choose one or another option depending on the occasion and the type of hair, because the less obedient they are, the less likely they are to style a complex hairstyle.
Before weaving the French waterfall braid, it is advisable to watch a video tutorial that demonstrates in detail each stage of the construction of this hairstyle. Also, photo instructions will help in this matter, with a step-by-step description of all actions. In fact, learning to weave a waterfall braid is easy, and after the basic lessons are mastered, any girl can quickly turn even the most complex variation of this hairstyle into reality.
