Did you know that brushing your hair, actually the most crucial part of braiding waterfall? When brushing your locks, you need to straighten out all tangles and knots that are frequent companions of long hair. Brush your hair gently and carefully to ensure all tangles are straightened out. Then you need to part your hair as usual. This style can be done with a side or middle part; that’s why it is fully up to you.

Let The Braid Begin

Practice, patience, and time are your three crucial elements in the waterfall braid. So, for the beginning, take a section of your hair at the front of your head about 2 inches wide. This part will be the anchor of your water braid. Split this section into three pieces of equal size and braid your hair as usual by placing the right strand over the middle strand and then the left strand over the new central strand.

Braid A Little More

Now when you have anchored your water braid, it is an excellent time to start weaving our braid. Add a little more hair to the right strand and shift it over the middle one. Next, drop this left strand and take a new part of the hair to replace it. This is what will create a waterfall effect. Then you need to shift new replaced left strand over the middle one. Congrats, you have just finished the first stitch of your cascade braid!

And Repeat

Replay your 4th step and make sure to direct the braid in a horizontal line throughout the back of your head. As soon as you have got to the other end of your head, you need to stick it with elastic (it need to be exact) and pins to hide it under the rest of your hair for a loving look.

Add Some Volume

Do you want to capture people’s attention? Then you should add thickness and volume to your water braid. The desired volume can be obtained by using the pancaking method. You need to tug lightly on the edges of your braid to loosen it. This will give you the look of a fuller braid.

Curl It

You have a choice, and the way you want to see it is only up to you. You can braid with wavy or straight hair. But based on our experience, we want to tell you that water braids with wavy locks look a lot nicer than straight ones. Choose a curling iron size to finalize your look. To create beautiful loose curls or a smaller one to create tight locks. Nevertheless, an entire look will be impeccable. Curls only complement your water braid and magnify the cascade effect of your hairstyle.
