Supplies are simple, now you have no excuse not to try it!

Step 1: Prep your locks

Though this isn’t necessary, if you have curly hair you might find it easiest to straighten your hair beforehand. Straightening the hair will make the waterfall braid stand out, and you will have less issues with tangling.

Step 2: Beginning the braid

To begin your waterfall braid, gather a section at the front of your hair and split it into three equal parts, just as you would for a regular french braid.

Leave out the bangs if you’ve got em!

Step 3: Cross over

Cross the left strand over the center, and right over the center, just like a regular braid.

Top strand becomes center strand.

Step 4: Time to add extra!

Now, cross the left over the center, and add hair from the top like a french braid.

Now bottom goes to center, just like a regular braid.

Step 5: Abandon the bottom!

Cross the strand you just added hair to (top strand) with the bottom strand, and leave the strand you added to out of the braid.

Now drop the strand you added to on top, and don’t pick up again!

Step 6: Pick up new hair

Now that you’ve dropped the top piece to the bottom, pick up a new piece from the bottom next to it.

Pick up a section of hair next to the strand you just dropped.

Step 7: Back to the top!

Now you’re repeating Steps 4-6, if it helps to image, think of it like this. “Add to the top, cross, leave the top piece, grab new, add to top, cross, leave the top piece, grab new…”
