How to do waterfall braids?

In the beginning, apply mousse or styling gel to your dry hair to help secure your braid. And then, you need to part your hair. Divide the first part of your hair into three. You can run two fingers through this section of hair to create three equally sized-pieces of hair.

2. Start braiding your hair

Use the three-strand braid technique to braid the first section of hair. Grab a two-inch piece of hair in front of your head and divide it into three equal sections. Then, cross the left and right parts of your hair in the middle, like you would in a French braid. This is where the waterfall technique comes in. Instead of continuing to braid, lower your right strand and replace it with new hair from the roots. Thread the new strand through the middle section, and then repeat with the left strand.

3. Keep braiding your hair
