How to: Ladder braid with 3D split braid

Helpful tutorials:
Waterfall braid
3 strand braid

You'll need:
1 big elastic
1 small elastic
2 temporary elastic
Topsy tail

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Part the hair just off center.
2. Take a small strand of hair from the side with the most hair and divide it into three. Do a waterfall braid with this hair.
3. When you've braided until just behind the ear, stop doing a waterfall braid. Continue a little further as a regular braid and then finish off with a temporary elastic.
4. Now take a new section of hair below the waterfall braid. Divide this section into two - left and right.
5. Take your first waterfall strand and cross it over strand Left from step 4. You now have three strands to braid with again.
6. Cross strand Right from step 4 over the middle strand.
7. Add the next waterfall strand to the left strand of your braid and cross them together over the middle strand of the braid.
8. Add some hair to the right strand of your braid (be careful not to take any waterfall strands!) and cross the strand over the middle on.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you've added in all of the waterfall strands. Try to keep your braid close to the waterfall braid, so it will look like the two braids are actually 1 big braid.
10. When you've added in all of the waterfall strands, braid a little further without adding in hair. Finish off with a temporary elastic.
11. Take all of the hair together, including the braids, and put an elastic around it. You can now remove the temporary elastics from your braids.
12. Take your topsy tail and put it just behind the elastic. Take a small strand of hair from your ponytail, wrap it twice or three times around the elastic and then put the end through the eye of the topsy tail. Pull the topsy tail down.
13. Divide the hair from your ponytail into three strands and do a 3D split braid: before crossing a strand over, split it into two and cross the top part over the middle strand and the bottom part under.
14. Continue until the end of the hair and finish off with an elastic.

Good luck!
