The Easiest Way to Fake a Waterfall Braid!
Waterfall braids are when some of the hair goes from the front to the back of the head in a French braid, and the rest is left to fall down like a waterfall.
If you find braiding your hair difficult, you’re in luck because with a clever hack, I’m going to show you how to fake a mermaid waterfall braid.
Tools and materials:
- Hair elastic
- Bobby pin
1. Braid your hair
First, take a section of hair at the front of your head. Instead of making a French braid, we’re just going to make a regular braid.
Tie the end of the braid with an elastic.
2. Pull the braid
Gently pull on the sections of the braid to widen it and make it more voluminous.
3. Bring hair through braid
Create a small hole at the top of the braid and then pass a thin strand of hair through it.
4. Repeat
Repeat this process all along the braid - create a small hole and then pass some hair through it.
5. Pin the end
When you’ve got as far along the braid as you’d like to go, pin the end and hide the pin under your hair.
