Add an unexpected twist to your everyday tresses! The waterfall twist braid is perfect for amplifying a simple hairstyle. With practice, this easy-to-wear braid can become a go-to style for the upcoming summer months.
You’ll need:
Steps:
- Start by applying a pea-size amount of a finishing serum, like Dermorganic Argan Oil Leave-In Hair Treatment to dry locks; this will make braiding dry hair easier by taming any flyaways.
- Gather a two-inch section of hair near the part—you can start at the hairline or behind bangs—and separate that section into two equal pieces.
- Take the piece closest to the hairline and twist it over the second piece.
- Holding the two pieces of hair in one hand, grab a small piece of hair from above the twisted section in your other hand and place it between the first and second pieces. Let the new piece hang loosely—you will never add hair to the two original sections.
- Twist the piece closest to the hairline over the second piece again and place a new section of hair from above the twist between the original two pieces.
- Continue twisting the two original sections, adding a new piece of hair between each one, until the braid is at your desired length.
- Secure the braid with two bobby pins in an “X” shape to ensure the style will stay in place. Hide the bobby pins under loosely hanging hair.
- Finish the look with a light-hold hair spray; I’m obsessed with Kenra’s Platinum Working Spray 14—it gives flawless hold without making hair crunchy.
Voila! Practice makes perfect—before you know it, you’ll be a waterfall twist pro!
