Delicate, romantic, with a meek look from beneath lowered eyelashes - such a feminine image can be created using not only clothes, but also cunning tricks of hairdressing. Weaving the "Waterfall" braid may be the first of them.

Classic performance

The beauty of this hairstyle is not only that it fits perfectly on hair of almost any length, but also that a small masterpiece of hairdressing can be created independently.

Weaving the "Waterfall" braid will require not so many accessories: a comb and elastic to match the hair for fastening. The process itself is as follows.

To begin with, you should divide your hair into even parting. Its position on the head depends only on the shape of the oval of the face. Classic is still the direct central option. Next, you need to grab a large strand at the base of the parting and begin simple weaving in three strands. Depending on the density of the future braid, two to four turns should be performed. After that, the strand that turned out to be lower is left to freely fall, capturing a new lock of hair in its place. Subsequent weaving steps are performed in the same way.

It is worth remembering that the classic weaving of the “Waterfall” spit is carried out horizontally - from one temple to another. To fix the resulting masterpiece of hairdressing is quite simple. To do this, a strand at the opposite temple is tightly woven into a braid and fixed with a strong elastic, masking the latter with hair.

Variations on a Theme

A lot of options, both everyday and evening, allows you to create exactly the “Waterfall” spit. The weaving pattern makes it possible not only to change its location on the head, but also to use additional strands.

So, in the classical version it is necessary to weave the braid virtually in a straight line - from temple to temple. This option is perfect for everyday look, especially if you curl with curling iron or curling hair falling strands into curls.

But you can turn such a regular option into an evening hairstyle only by changing the direction and number of interlocking braids. So, when creating a look in the style of the Greek goddess, the double and even triple weaving of the “Waterfall” braid will look great.

But a special chic hairstyle can give inclusion in the braid additional - fourth - strands. This option will not require significant effort from the ladies. This weaving of the “Waterfall” begins in the same way as in the classic version. But you should work not in the usual, but in the “inverted” version, that is, place the locks not on top of each other, but under. The initial stage involves the execution of two or three elements. Then in the "work" include the fourth strand, which should be captured from above.

The attached strand is carried out under the upper one, wound over the middle one and again bent under the lower one. In order to get a neat “ring”, the main upper strand should be applied to the main lower one, while passing it under the middle one. Then wrap around the added strand and point it up, and lower the fourth. Such steps must be repeated until the braid is completed.

The simple weaving of the “Waterfall” braid, the photo of which was presented above, will help to create a gentle and attractive image of a romantic girl.
