Fairy tale braid/ Waterfall braid

Recently I came across some braided hairstyles which were very quick and simple yet elegant and sophisticated looking. So I immediately got hooked on to them. I have been practicing some of them on myself and have been getting many compliments since then. So I thought I will share these hairstyles with you today. So today I am going to explain how to do a very simple one. It is called “Fairy tale Braid”. As you can see, the name itself is very attractive and I am sure you will look like a girl from the fairy tale with it. So let’s get you started for your way to many compliments.

First grab some hair from one side of your head just above your ear. Make three sections and braid them normally for few times. It is easier to work with your hair this way since we are doing the brading by ourselves.

1)First step is while bringing the top strand into the middle grab chunk of hair from the top just like you do in French Braid, if you are familiar with it. Now cross the bottom strand over the middle strand.

2)The second step is slightly tricky, so separate the bottom most strand by wrapping it around your pinky. While crossing the top strand into the middle, grab a chunk of hair like you did last time and cross it over the middle strand.

3)For the third step grab a chunk of hair underneath the bottom strand and leave out the strand that you had wrapped around your pinky. Now cross the grabbed chunk over the middle.

4)Continue the steps one to three in the direction of one ear to the other. When you reach the end until there is no more hair left to grab, just braid normally till the end and secure with clear plastic band. You may have to practice a few times before you get it neatly.

In single sentence this can be summarized into top strand into middle with grabbing the new chunk every time  and new chunk of bottom strand into the middle.

Viola…you have braided yourself the fairy tale braid or the waterfall braid. Step out stylishly and enjoy your compliments. Do comment and tell me the responses you got for the braid.
