Waterfall Twists into Mermaid Braid Tutorial

Waterfall braid comes in a totally new different hairstyle that you have never seen before. Today we are going to show you how to create a hairstyle combination using the Waterfall Twists as a base for the style… and then use the falling strands of those twists as the “add-ins” for the Mermaid Braid! Of course you are going to need long hair in order to do this hairstyle. Here we go!

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 small hair elastic, hairspray, and accessory.

1. Start  by brushing hair, and making a center part right down the head…
2. Then complete a waterfall twist on both sides of the head.
3. After that take the ends of both twists and create three strands from them {do this by joining together two strands, one from each side, to create one strand}…Then begin a simple braid.
4. After one complete stitch, pick up the nearest waterfall strand on the left side of the head and add it into your left-most braid strand…
5. Now pick up the nearest waterfall strand on the right side of the head and add it into your right-most braid strand…
6. Next, complete a regular braid stitch without adding in any hair.
7. Repeat Steps 4 and 6 by adding in the waterfall strands until you run out…
8. After all waterfall strands are included, finish the rest of the hair off into the simple braid…
9. Secure with a hair elastic and add any accessory or ribbon as desired.

Enjoy!
