Waterfall Braid tutorial ♥

Hey dolls,

Hope you are all well. I, like many other bloggers, have just finished my A level exams and therefore blogging has taken a back seat for a while, but I am back and ready to blog again :)

Summer is finally upon us and at this time of year I always love to braid my hair. My new obsession is the waterfall braid as it looks lovely with beach waves. It is quite tricky the first few times but once you get around which pieces go where you'll be able to do it quickly and as easily as a normal braid.

Start with a long parting on one side of your head.


 Then split your hair into a small section at the front.


Braid as usual for about two rotations.


Now drop the bottom piece of the braid (I like to grip it with my lips as it keeps it out of the way).


Now pick up a new bottom piece from the rest of your hair.


 Add a small amount of hair to the top piece of the braid only.


 Continue dropping, getting a new bottom section and joining hair to the top section each time you braid the hair and you will begin to see something like this.


Once you reach the back of the head, you can either bobble the waterfall braid off or continue to a regular braid.


This is the final look. I think it looks lovely with natural wavy hair for that boho look!


I hope my steps were easy to follow - as always if you have any questions just comment below.

Braided fringe

I have been wearing my fringe like this for ages and think that it looks great when your hair is down or in a bun. After a few practices this becomes a lot easier and you can vary the amount of hair that you pick up and therefore create different style plaits - the following is probably an average amount of hair. Below are the steps to creating this hairstyle.

You will need:

Firstly section of the part of the hair to be braided and then tie the rest up in a bun or pony - anything to keep it out of the way.

Then take a small part of the sectioned piece, as shown in the picture.

 Separate the taken piece into three. 


Begin to plait the hair, but only a little amount as hair will need to be incorporated. Plait about the amount shown below.















Now you need to incorporate some of the hair from below the braid. You do this by taking a small amount from either side and joining it in with side pieces of the braid, as shown below.









































Now continue to braid and keep adding pieces in everytime you do a cross over of a piece i.e on every movement. You should achieve something like this:

Keep on doing the same thing until you reach the end of your sectioned piece and then fix the braid in place by using the elastic bobble. If you do not have any of these you can quite easily use grips instead.




























After this let down all the hair that was held out of the way and the style is complete! I hope this helped you. If there are any questions don't forget to comment below.
