Waterfall Braids

Leah is our braiding queen among us sisters..she can learn, do and perfect many complicated styles that leave Charlotte and I wondering where do we even start??

However she did show and teach us how to do the Waterfall Braids, and they really are very easy.
Here are her steps on how to create those very pretty, cascading, waterfall looking braids...


Step 1:
Pick up three strands of hair on your right side.




























Step 2:
Start a normal braid.

Step 3:
Pick up a strand of hair from the top and add it to the braid (like a French braid)

Step 4:
Bring the top piece over the middle piece and drop it down -creating the first cascade.

Step 5:
Pick up a new strand from underneath to replace the dropped piece.
(look at photos-this is hard to explain : )

Step 6:
Bring the new piece (the one you just picked up) and braid it over the middle. Repeat steps 3-5 until the braid is the length you like. Tie a tiny elastic and start on the other side, repeating the steps





























Step 7:
When both braids are finished, bobby pin in place!









































There you go! Good luck!
