Waterfall Twists into Mermaid Braid | Cute Hairstyles

  11 Sept 2013,

When I tried it out, as soon as I released the braid… it nearly took my breath away! We L-O-V-E-D it!!!

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 small hair elastic, hairspray, and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 8-10 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Begin by brushing hair, and making a center part right down the head…
2. Complete a water fall twist on both sides of the head, beginning near the temples and ending at the back of the head…
3. Take the ends of both twists {you should have 4 strands total} and create three strands from them {I do this by joining together two strands, one from each side, to create one strand}…
4. Now begin a simple braid….
5. After one complete stitch, pick up the nearest waterfall strand {the hair running through the twist} on the left side of the head and add it into your left-most braid strand…
6. Now pick up the nearest waterfall strand on the right side of the head and add it into your right-most braid strand…
7. Next, complete a regular braid stitch without adding in any hair {this will space out the stranding and create the mermaid braid look}..
8. Repeat Steps 5-7 by adding in the waterfall strands until you run out…
9. After all waterfall strands are included, finish the rest of the hair off into the simple braid…
10. Secure with a hair elastic…
11. Add any accessory or ribbon as desired.

Enjoy!
