Ladder braid

The ladder braid is a combination of a waterfall braid / waterfall twist (or a feathered braid) and another braid. This other braid can be any braid you like: a twist, a lace braid, a 5 strand braid, a knotted braid... For the waterfall braid you can also use any technique you like: a regular waterfall braid, a fishtail waterfall braid, a 5 strand waterfall braid... The most important thing for a ladder braid is to add the waterfall strands to a new braid. This creates an effect that looks like a ladder and gives the braid the name ladder braid!
