Girls like to change their image and create new images. In order to look more cute and romantic, you can use the waterfall hairstyle. This option looks appropriate in absolutely any situation and will look neat throughout the day.

What kind of hair is a waterfall hairstyle suitable for?

To begin with, it is worth stipulating that such hairstyles are suitable only for those ladies whose hair is long enough for weaving. Curls of average length look the most advantageous.

The hairstyle for long hair with highlighting or with multi-layer tinting looks especially impressive.

Hairstyle Options

There are several weaving techniques that do not have a fundamental difference. Just a little change in your favorite pattern, you will be able to perform a completely different in appearance hairstyle.

Classic french waterfall

The simplest is the classic version. You can braid it yourself or resort to the help of loved ones.

  1. First you need to carefully straighten your hair and comb them to almost mirror smoothness. Then, with a thin comb, separate the upper part of the hair from the bottom, securing the last with an elastic band. This will allow you not to get confused in curls and weave them exactly along the selected line.
  2. Now it is necessary to determine the beginning of weaving. Usually it is chosen from the face to encircle the entire perimeter of the head. However, if you retreat a few strands to the back of the head, the Waterfall will look no less spectacular.
  3. Beginners to weave.It is necessary to select the initial strand and divide it into three equal parts, as if this is the beginning of the weaving of an ordinary braid.
  4. Then weave the upper curl and release it down. Instead, use the strand under the released one.
  5. Continue this way until the desired length of the braid. At the end, fasten with an invisible or rubber band.

 

Hairstyle can be done in minutes, having a little skill and a minimum of devices.

With volumetric braid

 

Since the conventional braid is used in the classical weaving pattern, two methods can be used to create volume:

  1. To braid not an ordinary, but a French braid or an inverted spikelet - this will visually increase the volume of hair and give the hairstyle an interesting shape. This option is also called the French Waterfall and is mistakenly confused with the classic version of weaving.
  2. During weaving, pulling the curls located at the top - this effect will create a slight negligence and an additional basal volume.

 

In the case of using the second option, it is necessary to estimate the length of the hair in advance so that the hairstyle does not collapse.

Regardless of the type of hair, it is strictly necessary to use varnish or other means to consolidate the resulting masterpiece.

Double, one-way waterfall

Lovers of everything unique will probably want to experiment with such a universal hairstyle. It is for them that there are two interpretations: one-way and double Waterfall. The first can be used in cases when there is absolutely no time for laying, but you need to look chic.

  1. We begin to braid the braid in an arbitrary place in the region of the left or right temple. It doesn’t matter if the weaving is classic or “twisted”.
  2. We produce strands according to the classic version of weaving. It is not necessary to follow a clear line.
  3. We finish weaving the Waterfall in the back of the head.
  4. You can finish the hairstyle with invisible fastening in the hair with the help of invisibility or braid the braid. The first option is suitable for girls with wavy and voluminous hair, the second - for those who have straight hair by nature.

Double Waterfall is often used as a full hairstyle, as it requires the skill of symmetrical weaving.

  1. Divide hair in half with a parting and fasten one part with an elastic band so as not to mix.
  2. Start weaving the Falls from the other half, which has remained loose.
  3. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.
  4. Do the same with the other half. It is necessary to choose the same weaving for both parts. It is important to complete both braids at the same level to create the desired symmetry effect.
  5. The end of the halves can be hidden with one invisible, combining them into one strand. Or to create an emphasis on the center, you can braid each of the braids both individually and as part of one.

 

This version of the Waterfall hairstyle will look like a finished composition. It can be used both during official meetings, and in a more informal setting.

How to make a waterfall rim

The hair band as an accessory is used so that the strands do not fall on the face. But how to do something like this without using additional devices? Very simple! It only takes a little knack.

  1. A rim waterfall is woven around the circumference of the head. You need to start from the area behind one ear, finish on the other side, just behind the ear.
  2. Weave strictly along the edge of hair growth, capturing the bangs (if any).
  3. You need to release the strands according to the scheme of the classic weaving of the Waterfall hairstyle.

The hairstyle will be indispensable in the case when it is not possible to use the accessories, or they will look inappropriate.

On straight hair

For beginners, learning how to weave a Waterfall hairstyle is best to start with straight hair. Indeed, due to their smoothness, the scheme will become more clear, and errors will be visible immediately.

 

A pleasant surprise is that on straight hair, multi-row options are most conveniently obtained.

  1. We select the beginning of the upper braid at the temple level and weave the Waterfall. It is not necessary to keep a straight line, it is possible to shift the weaving diagonally.
  2. After fixing the end of the upper braid, we begin to weave the second. It is important to observe a symmetrical pattern.
  3. The number of levels is limited only by the length of the hair and the imagination of the master.

 

A multi-level Waterfall is suitable for pre-planned meetings, as the hairstyle will take a sufficient amount of time.

Hairstyle Waterfall with Curls

A waterfall with curls is the most romantic version of a hairstyle. Lightness and volume will give a special charm and a sense of self-confidence.

  1. For a Waterfall with curls, a French braid is usually chosen. Weaving should start at the middle of the ear or its upper edge.
  2. To completely amaze everyone with their hairstyle, you can slightly release individual curls in a braid.
  3. At the end, weaving can be finished with a bundle or hidden behind the ear, securing it with an elastic band.
  4. Curls released from the Waterfall need to be curled using a curling iron or hairdryer. You can also slightly twist the tips throughout the hairstyle for extra volume.
  5. After all the manipulations, it is worth fixing the result with the help of hair spray.

 

If you do such a hairstyle on your first date, you can be sure that the gentleman will remain under the pleasant impression of such a gentle person.

Step-by-step instructions and weaving patterns

For weaving Hairstyle Hairstyles, you can also use schemes with two or four strands.

 

Step-by-step instructions on how to weave a Waterfall from two strands:

  1. We select a small part of the hair in the temporal region and divide it in half.
  2. Cross halves. Choose the third curl just above the level of the braid and put in the middle, without interweaving.
  3. We continue to alternately cross the main strands, alternating them with curls taken from free hair.
  4. Mask the end behind the ear or form a bundle. We fix using rubber bands or studs.

The hairstyle looks as simple as it does.

 

The most complex weaving pattern at the Falls of four strands.

  1. Divide the initial curl into four lobes. Weaving begins with the part farthest from the face.
  2. Using the basket weaving scheme, alternately weave the extreme right strand, first under, then over and again under the neighboring ones. Now the strand has moved to its leftmost position and has become a “waterfall”. It must be left and replaced with a curl from the free zone.
  3. The leftmost strand from the initial part is also carried out under and over the remaining strands to the right. At the same time, each time it is necessary to attach an additional curl from the free zone for strong fixation.
  4. Continuing the algorithm in this way, we get a waterfall of four curls.

 

This is a very beautiful and complex hairstyle that will surely attract many envious glances.

Jewelry using accessories

Bulky jewelry is not usually used for hairstyles with weaving, because the braid itself attracts enough attention.

 

However, it is possible to focus on one or another part with the help of decorative hairpins with small rhinestones or beads. Using a short, long diadem is appropriate. In the case of a one-sided Waterfall, you can fix the end with a medium-sized hair clip with flowers or multi-colored stones.

 

Hairstyle Waterfall is undoubtedly a good option for any event. It does not take much time to complete it, and many options will help to look irresistible.
