Waterfall twist

The waterfall braid is a very populair braid that's not that difficult either. But if you want to make it even easier, then try the waterfall twist! Simple and quick without complicated techniques, but with loads of possibilities. Below you can see some examples.

Ideas:

The original waterfall twist, as explained in my YouTube tutorial, combined with a simple ponytail.

The waterfall twist with ribbon, as explained in my YouTube tutorial. Beautiful with red and green ribbon for Christmas, but of course there's all kind of combinations possible. You could use the colors from your favorite sports team or match the ribbon colors with the clothes you're wearing with it!

Use the waterfall strands from your first waterfall twist to easily create a second waterfall twist, which creates a ladder braid!

When you've tried the double waterfall twist, it's easy to create a third. In the photo the waterfall strands have then been added to a lace braid.

An easy variation: do braids in your waterfall strands. Of course all techniques are possible!

A variation that's a little more tricky: a woven waterfall twist braid. Take the first strand, cross it under the second, over the third and repeat under / over until you've had all strands. Then do the same thing with the second strand (under the third, over the fourth, and so on) and the other strands until you've used all waterfall strands. Then put an elastic around all the hair you've used for your braid.

Instead of doing the waterfall twist from the right to the left (or left to the right) you can also go top to bottom. The waterfall strands can then be added to a braid.
