How to weave a French waterfall braid yourself: step by step instructions

Spit-waterfall in any interpretation looks elegant. The technique of its execution does not require any effort. First, it is enough to master the classic version, and then you can move on to complicated designs.

How to make a waterfall: step-by-step instructions for classic weaving hairstyles:

1. Carefully comb your hair, comb through tangled tufts and knots. So the strands will be easy to braid. Divide the hair at the top of the head into a central parting.
2. You need to start weaving from the side (at least on the left, at least on the right). A thin strand is taken and divided into three parts. In the first action, an ordinary braid is formed from them. Then the middle and right curls are crossed, and the third is taken from above and covered with a free curl. Further, the right curl with an additional strand goes down, forming the first "stream".
3. There are two main curls left, which should be crossed, and the third should be formed from the total mass. Continue weaving by analogy: release the right part when it is at the bottom, and leave two working curls. Again, form the third curl from the total mass and release the right curl, etc. So weave the braid around the entire circumference to the second temple.
4. Fasten the ends of the pigtails and leave the curl free. You can decorate the end with a simple pigtail or in some spectacular way.

To create a lacy effect, after shaping the hairstyle, you need to slightly pull out the horizontal strands.

To give the hairstyle a glamorous look, curled tight waves created only from flowing strands will allow. The carelessness of the hairstyle will be given by the hair freely falling on the shoulders and the loose interlacing of curls. Bangs can also be included in the overall ensemble, then you should start weaving with it.

Secrets of weaving curls

To make a simple waterfall graceful and beautiful, you should consider some points:

• before, you should learn how to weave a "French" braid;
• do not weave a tight braid, it gives the image a strict look;
• braid, ribbon or leather cord will help to make a bright hairstyle if weave them into a braid;
• you can decorate your hair beautiful bow, flower, hairpin with rhinestones;
• if the hair during weaving is magnetized and crumbles in the hands, they must be lubricated with mousse or gel.

Multi-tiered braid-waterfall: weaving pattern

Such a hairstyle is formed from two intersecting working strands in two or three tiers. It can only be done on long hair. The weaving technique is simpler than creating the classic version.

Weaving pattern:

1. Comb the hair and divide it into two parts, forming a central parting. To the right, near the temple, take a strand of hair and divide it into two curls.
2. Cross working curls. From above, select a small strand and skip it between the crossed curls. Do not fly into the common braid, but lower it down. This will be the first "trickle" of the waterfall.
3. Cross the free curls again, and between them skip the free strand taken from above.
4. Create a braid around the head and finish it at the left temple. Fasten the end of the braid with a hairpin or elastic band.

This technique differs from the classic "waterfall" in that the hair taken from above is not involved in the work, but remains free to hang. Only two strands taken from the temple are involved in weaving.

1. Formation of the second row. The pigtail begins at the right temple with the selection of two working strands. The weaving technique is the same, additional strands are taken from those that were involved in the first row.
2. Weave the pigtail to the end and secure with a hairpin.
3. If desired, by a similar principle, create a third tier.
4. At the end of the work, loose hair should be twisted with a curling iron, and the hairstyle should be decorated with a bright accessory.

Spit-waterfall with a ribbon: girlish joy

Weaving technology is similar to the classic version. The tape is attached to the middle strand at the initial stage of work. Its end should be inconspicuously hidden in a braid. While weaving is in progress, the right curl and ribbon are wound from above, and the left curl and ribbon are wound from below.

The more complex the waterfall, the more original the hairstyle

The ancestor of the hair waterfall was the French braid. Only, unlike her, the method of weaving hair occurs in such a way that part of it forms a braid, and part falls in strands, resembling separate streams of water.

This hairstyle looks perfect on long hair, but also on hair middle length it will give a piquant look, especially if the “streams” are in the form of curls. And if the hair, then this further emphasizes the originality of the hairstyle.

How to make a hair waterfall

Before starting to master the step-by-step instructions for this weaving, let's decide what is needed for its execution.

1. First of all - a comb, of course. Or rather, two: a “massage” or a brush and an ordinary comb with a thin tail, so that it is more convenient to separate even extra strands.
2. Elastic band for hair, the color of which will not stand out on the head.
3. Hairpin or decorative hairpin.
4. And the most important thing - patience and free time. When you master weaving, it will take you no more than two minutes to create a waterfall from your own hair.

Weaving pattern

There are several ways to weave this hairstyle. If you have curly or wavy hair, the "jets" of the waterfall will look great. If your hair is straight, then it is better to curl it with, or for hair.

The classic waterfall braid weaving pattern looks like this - see photo:

Option number 1

• Using a comb with a ponytail, make a side parting and separate a strand of hair, which you divide into three equal parts;
• Start weaving like a regular braid: upper strand - to the center, then the lower strand - to the center;
• Then we leave the strand that is supposed to be inserted into the braid during ordinary weaving, and from under it, from the bottom of the weave, we take a new strand and insert it into the braid;
• This is how the “waterfall” braid is woven - all the upper strands of hair are woven with a grip extra hair, and the lower ones remain outside the braid, creating an imitation of falling water jets.

By the way, it looks very beautiful and feminine - this article is about her and how to create it.

On hair dyed in the ombre style (about him in this one), the French waterfall looks even more original. The painting itself can be done either in the salon or on your own, and we will tell you how.

The same must be repeated on the other side of the parting. In order not to "lose" weaving, you can temporarily finish the first braid with an ordinary pigtail.

When the second is ready, connect both braids with a hair band so that this connection is as inconspicuous as possible.

In addition, this place you can attach a hairpin or a decorative hairpin that will hide the elastic and give the hairstyle an even more sophisticated look.

The execution of this weaving in the following video:

Option number 2

• Comb all your hair back, do not part;
• Start weaving from the side, grabbing the hair above the ear, you will get weaving from one side of the head to the other;
• While weaving, draw it slightly down diagonally so that it ends below the ear on the opposite side of the head - then it can be finish with a regular braid and tie with a hair band or hair band.

• Then we take a new strand from above and place it between the first two, which twisted together;
• Again we take a strand from above and repeats everything that was just done with the previous strand.

And so on until we finish weaving on the opposite side of the head. To make a similar hairstyle on short hair, you need to start braiding from two sides, and then connect the two pigtails into one as shown in this video tutorial:

A pigtail can be braided from one temple to another and finished with a regular braid. Which can be left free or twisted into a flower and pinned with a hairpin. The second version of the braid is a waterfall, if you start weaving from one temple and weave to the crown, then start a new weaving at the other temple and connect the braids together at the crown.

2. We shift the left strand (No. 1 in the photo) to the middle.
3. We shift the right strand (No. 3 in the photo) to the middle.
4. Now again the left strand (now it is No. 2) is shifted to the middle.
5. Again, the right strand (No. 1) is shifted to the middle.
6. And now we discard the strand that remained below and leave it to fall freely or fix it (we give it to the girl who is doing her hair) so that it does not interfere with further weaving. And we just take a new strand from the total mass of hair from below.
7. To the top strand, we also, as in french braid we attach a thin strand from the total mass of hair and shift it to the middle.
8. The new strand, with which we replaced the falling one, is also shifted to the middle.
9. We repeat all the steps further, again we leave the lower strand free and instead take a new one from the total mass of hair from below. We shift it to the middle, connect a strand from the total mass of hair from above to the upper strand and shift it to the middle. Move the bottom one to the middle. Again we throw a strand that was at the bottom.

How to weave a waterfall braid step by step

Step 1 We divide and weave a French waterfall.

Spit waterfall (cascade) looks better on straight lines or wavy hair. Part your hair in your usual parting. Start braiding from the right (or left) side. Take the top strand and divide it into three identical strands.

Let's start weaving from the right strand. So, right to the middle - left, then to the left we add one more strand on top (see lesson), again to the middle.

Step 2 The cascade itself (waterfall).

Here it is a little more difficult. After you have braided the left strand with a French braid (you should have it in the middle), throw it off, and instead take a new strand in the place where it fell. Now this is your new right strand. Continue weaving until you get to the middle of the head, then fix our braid and start weaving the same from the back. After the two braids are braided, combine them into one and braid it with a regular braid or fishtail.
