As everyone knows, the Waterfall Braid is so popular right now but many who do not know how to French Braid have a difficult time creating it. A friend of mine, Kori at {http://www.youtube.com/hair4myprincess} was the first to come up with this waterfall braid cheat and we wanted to share it with you as well!

Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHWaterfallTwist

Items Needed: Brush or rat-tail comb, 1 bobby pin, hairspray {if desired}.

Time Requirement: 5 minutes

Steps:

1. Start on front right of the head and section out a large strand of hair that can be your base for the twist around the head.
2. Divide this strand in two equal pieces and twist them around each other once.
3. Take a new selected strand of hair and place it between your twisting strands, so that it literally falls through.
4. Twist the two original strands once more.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 all the way around the back of the head and towards the top of the left ear.
6. When you finish your last twist, grab a bobby pin and secure the end of the twist above the ear, making sure to hide the bobby pin as best as you can.
7. Use hairspray {if desired} to help control flyaways.

Enjoy!

Hey, everyone.
I'm Mindy from Cute
Girls Hairstyles,
and today we are
going to film a hairdo
I'm calling the waterfall twist.
Now, for those of
you that haven't
been able to master the
amazing waterfall braid,
this is a great version
that looks very similar,
but it's a little bit
easier because you're only
dealing with two strands
instead of three.
So I have straightened her hair.
Well, it's straight from
her hairdo yesterday.
And I'm going to show you.
We're going to turn
her a little bit.
OK, now I'm going to just pick
up a little piece of hair.
I'm not going to go all
the way down to the ear
just because I want to leave a
little down so it looks nice.
But you want a pretty
good size chunk
because this is going to be
what you use as your main strand
all the way around the head.
So you're going to take this
and divide it into two pieces
and go ahead and just
twist one over the other.
OK?
Now, coming from
the top, we're going
to pick up a chunk of hair.
And you can do small
chunks or big chunks.
It doesn't matter.
We're going to take that
chunk right over the top
and just let it fall
right through the middle.
OK?
And then we're going to
twist the hair again.
So I'll continue to show you.
Now, a waterfall
twist always has
hair that comes from
the top and goes
through the braid or the
twist and down, and then
you can see the strands
loose underneath.
So, again, pick up a
chunk from the top.
I'm doing relatively small
chunks on her hair this time,
and I'm going to show you
on myself in another video
how to do bigger chunks.
Now, I'm crossing it
over that top strand
but just then letting it
fall through the middle
so it's actually going to end
up underneath the other strand.
Can you see that?
Then take the two strands, twist
them over each other just once.
OK, again pick up a hair.

Put it right through.
So you can see it's going
straight through those.
Then just take them
and cross them.
And again, you can do
it as tight or as loose
as you want with as little
of chunks or as big of chunks
as you want.
Now I'm going to just twist it.
I'll turn her some more
so you can still see.

Pick up a strand.
Just let it fall
through the middle.
Twist the strands
over each other.
And don't be afraid to just
smooth them if you need to.
And with hers, I'm going to go
all the way around the head.
Now, as you can see, these
two strands are still
that original piece of hair that
I pulled from clear over here,
which is why you want to get
a pretty good sized chunk
to begin with,
because if you only
grab a little teeny
tiny wispy piece,
you're going to be having
a hard time by the time
you get to this side.
OK, let's spin her
just a little bit more.
Maybe two more, so
let it fall through,
then twist the strands.
Now on the last one-- I'm going
to turn her just a little bit
more-- I try to pick
up this piece so
that it kind of
matches the other side.
So I'm going to pick up
that piece right here,
take it through like so, give
it one more little twist.
And then what I'm going
to do is take a bobby pin,
and I'm just going to stick
the bobby pin right inside that
twist down as far as I
can and then just hide it
underneath the rest of her hair.
So what we end up
with is this beautiful
looking stranded
twist in the back.
And you can see where the
hair started at the top,
goes through the actual
twist, and falls down
through the rest of her hair.
And there you go.
And it looks
amazing, so, so easy.
I'm sure you're
going to love it.
And I will be filming a
self version on my own hair,
and you can watch for that
in an upcoming tutorial.
See you later, guys.
