Evening hairstyle French waterfall. Waterfall hairstyle: weaving options and beautiful examples

What hairstyles attract men? Having asked this question, British scientists found that in first place in terms of attractiveness are models with loose hair, and in second place are braids.

And if you combine both options, you will get a fashionable hairstyle that will help create a gentle, romantic image. We are talking about a hairstyle that has a name - a waterfall braid or a cascading braid.

Hairstyle features, necessary tools

The technique is so simple and does not require special skills that you can master it in a couple of attempts. It is noteworthy that this hair styling method is suitable for owners of different hair types, hair types and lengths. So, you can braid a “waterfall” from strands:

for medium length hair;
for long curls;
and even cut into a bob, if only the length of the strands is slightly longer than the jawline.

To create a hairstyle you will need the following tools:

Mirror;
A straight comb for separating locks and a regular comb for combing;
Elastic band that can be hidden;
Styling product, iron or curling iron, in case you want to curl your curls or, conversely, straighten them;
Invisible.

So, let's look at some options for interesting and simple hairstyles using the waterfall weaving technique.

The classic version of the waterfall braid

Weaving with strands falling down is easy and quick. The classic version involves twisting a braid from one temple to another.

How to weave a classic waterfall braid:

Comb the hair thoroughly along the entire length;
If necessary, apply styling product;
Comb everything back;
Separate three strands from the side of the right or left temple, depending on which direction it will be more convenient to move. The size of the strands is selected as desired, depending on the desired thickness of the finished braid;
Start with the top strand, moving it to the middle as when weaving a regular braid;
The lower part should also be moved to the middle;
Repeat the previous two steps;
After moving the top and bottom parts to the middle, you need to release the strand that will be at the bottom of the braid;
For the next step, you need to take a new strand from the loose hair below and weave it in;
Continue, leaving hanging strands and taking new ones from the rest of the hair;
Secure the braid with an elastic band when it is ready, hide it behind the ear, under the hair, or braid it along the entire length of the hair, leaving it hanging.

If necessary, you can fix the styling with hairspray.

How to braid a waterfall braid yourself

The main advantage of the “waterfall” hairstyle is its ease of execution, so you can braid it yourself. In order to master the technique with your own hands, you will need the same set of tools. You can attract another mirror by installing it at the back so that you can see the result.

So, how to weave a waterfall braid for yourself? Here is the diagram and step-by-step instructions:

Comb your hair and separate three strands from a convenient side of your face;
Start weaving a regular braid;
After going through two weaving steps, leave the bottom strand, replacing it with a new one from the main body of hair;
Repeating the release of the lower strands and adding new ones, braid to the opposite side of the head and secure with an elastic band.

By the way, for greater convenience, you can secure the already released strands of hair with a hairpin or hold them in your mouth on the side opposite to the braiding. When finished, simply straighten the curls and give them the desired direction.

If desired, you can straighten your hair or slightly curl the ends. And lovers of voluminous nape will need to first do a backcombing and only then start curling the cascade.

If the hair becomes magnetic or falls apart, it can be treated with wax or a special spray, oil or balm that is applied before styling the hair.

Several variations of cascading braids

Having mastered the proposed technique, you can try several other options that are no less interesting than the classic one. Perhaps someone will find the optimal solution to create an interesting look for every day or for a special occasion.

French Falls

The hairstyle received its name due to the similarity of the braiding technique with the addition of strands. Someone calls the usual straight “waterfall” of hair “French”. But there is another option.

Scheme and step-by-step instructions:

Comb your hair and throw it to one side without parting;
Separate three bundles of hair of the same size from the side opposite to the one where the hair was combed;
Weave by analogy with the classical method, releasing and weaving in new curls, but not directly from temple to temple, but at an angle. That is, start from the temple and end below ear level on the opposite side;
When finished, separate the strands with your fingers and loosen the braid a little.

In this case, you can leave your hair loose or weave all the curls into one braid, laying it on its side. Fix the hairstyle with hairspray.

You can decorate it with hairpins with small rhinestones or pearl-shaped beads. Provided that the jewelry will look harmonious with the outfit and makeup.

This twist option gives the braid additional volume and gives the hair an interesting and unusual look.

Comb the entire hair back for a straight cascade or move it to any convenient side for a slanting cascade;
Separate three curls of equal thickness;
Start curling by moving the top curl to the center, but along the bottom;
Move the second curl to the center through the bottom;
Repeat the previous steps, not forgetting to leave one strand;
Continue forming the braid in reverse, alternating loose strands and adding new ones;
When finished, secure with an elastic band.

Waterfall of two strands or twisted

Prepare your hair by combing it first. If your hair is unruly, you can treat it with mousse or styling foam;
Separate a strand and divide it into two curls;
Cross the curls together so that the upper curl passes under the lower one;
Separate a new curl from the main hair and pass it between two twisted strands;
Leave the missing curl and twist the remaining two again;
Continue alternating twisted curls with adding new ones to the opposite temple;
Secure your hair.

Twisting option with ribbon

This waterfall option is perfect for an evening hairstyle. A bright accessory in the form of a ribbon should be matched to the dress. You can also use just a silver or gold ribbon.

Comb your hair;
Divide the section of hair for the waterfall into three strands;
Tie the ribbon to the curl that is in the middle;
Start braiding according to the classical method, but at the same time, without letting go of the ribbon, weave it together with new curls into a braid;
Fasten and shape the hairstyle.

Cascade braid in different hairstyles

In addition to the options for direct weaving of a cascade of strands or oblique, you can use other hairstyles with a waterfall braid. Let's look at the most interesting ones:

Waterfall hairstyle in several tiers

This hairstyle differs from the classic one only in the number of braids.

Step-by-step instruction:

Comb your hair back;
Separate three strands at the temple;
Twist a braid with strands hanging down;
Fasten;
Below the first tier, separate three more strands;
Weave the curls into a braid, using loose strands falling from the previous waterfall;
Pin.

Continue depending on the desired number of hair tiers. Tie all the braids under the hair or gather them into a bun. You can weave them into one large braid or leave your hair loose.

Hairstyle of two opposite “waterfalls”

This type of styling looks romantic and gentle. To fasten the braids, you can use a beautiful bow or hairpin.

Brush hair;
Parting down the middle;
Separate three strands on the right side;
Start weaving by releasing the lower strands from the right temple to the middle of the head;
Fasten the braid;
Repeat manipulations on the other side of the hair;
Secure both braids in the middle with a hairpin or weave them down into one regular braid.

If desired, the curls can also be curled. For this option, you can also use a backcomb at the back of the head for additional volume.

Double cascade with weaving of loose strands

The method of creating a hairstyle has an unusual shape and an interesting solution. It is suitable only for those with long hair due to the way the strands are woven.

Femininity, beauty, tenderness are what especially attract men in a woman. Nothing complements the image of a romantic stranger better than loose, soft, shiny and well-groomed hair. And options for using cascading weaving will add a special twist to your look. At the same time, all types of hairstyles are universal and suitable for an evening event, a walk in the park, a trip to a cafe or a movie.

Beauty is like a precious stone: the simpler it is, the more precious it is!

The curls braided into an openwork braid, some of which freely fall down, lying between the strands, resemble streams of water. As a haircut, the waterfall is simple, but it looks beautiful, suitable for all occasions - both for going out and for a wedding. You can easily do it yourself.

What hair is it suitable for?

The French waterfall hairstyle is suitable for both straight and curly hair. The styling is intended for haircuts whose length is below the chin, when the strands can be braided, leaving free ends. The styling looks beautiful on long hair. A headband near the forehead is an ideal option for women who are growing bangs and want to remove the strands from the front: this way they will not get into the eyes.

Waterfall styling can be done either with a single-color color or with a highlighted color, with a complex color. Alternating colors look original, interesting, romantic, and add additional volume and expressiveness.

Step-by-step instructions for waterfall hairstyles

There are many varieties of waterfall hairstyles. To make the classic version, you need to adhere to this scheme:

Comb well to avoid tangled strands or knots. To make your curls more manageable, apply styling gel.
Comb into a side parting.
Separate a strand near the parting on the forehead.
Divide the bun into three equal parts and start braiding.
From the second weaving, begin to release the strands: when making the binding, let the lower curl hang freely, taking instead a bundle of the same thickness from loose hair not involved in the work.
Then weave according to a similar pattern: the upper bundle is woven into the waterfall, the lower one is released and replaced with a free one.
Having reached the lobe of the opposite ear, secure the braid with an elastic band, a hairpin or hide it under the strands. If desired, the braid can be led not to the opposite temple, but let it go down, making a one-sided hairstyle.

You can decorate your hair with a beautiful bow, flower, hairpins with rhinestones, or a hair clip. To make it bright, you can weave into a braid:

braid;
leather cord;
contrast tape.

With curls

A waterfall hairstyle with curls is done according to a similar pattern. Having finished braiding, the loose strands under the braid must be curled using a curling iron or wound with large or small curlers, depending on what kind of curls you want to get. Do not comb the curls, but carefully separate them with your hands, and then fix them with varnish so that they do not fall apart.

Double French Falls

An interesting hairstyle is a double waterfall. Two braids are woven in parallel, located symmetrically in relation to each other: above and below. More complex option:

Separate a large strand from the upper part of the left temple (the width of the head should correspond to the size of the temple).
Comb and begin to weave a thin, dense braid, using reverse braiding, when the bundles are placed not on top of each other, but under them.
The braid is woven to the end of the ear, after which it is temporarily fixed with a crocodile.
Next, work begins on the right side.
Separate a small strand from the temple and begin weaving using the classic waterfall method.
Braid to the left braid and pin with a crocodile clip.
The next stage is the lower weaving on the right side.
Take a strand at the beginning of the upper braid and begin to weave the lower braid, similar to the upper one.
When the bottom braid reaches the junction of the top and left, stop braiding.
Remove the crocs from the left and top right braids and begin to weave a tight simple braid from three braids.
Secure the braid with a thin elastic band.
Curl the hair that is left loose with a curling iron.
Fix the hairstyle with hairspray.
Decorate the junction of the braids with a hairpin or a bright flower.

For long straight hair, a waterfall with a twist is suitable. It is suitable for beginners; it is made not with three constantly changing strands, but with two, which are used throughout the entire weaving. Scheme:

Separate a wide strand above the ear, divide it into 2 parts and cross it so that the upper one is under the lower one.
Take a new bunch from above and place it so that it is above the bottom and below the top.
Cross (twist) the working strands. As a result, the third one will seem to be in a loop.
After this, the upper working beam will become the lower one and vice versa.
Then pull the next strand through them according to a similar pattern.
Repeat the steps, moving downwards at an angle.
When there are 5-7 cm left to the end of the working strands, you need to stop threading the bunches, weave a thin braid, secure with an elastic band and secure it on the back of the head with bobby pins.

Waterfall-rim

Girls who grow bangs or want to remove strands from their forehead can weave a headband. In this case, weaving should start from the temples and move not back, but along the forehead, along the hairline. The wider the bun, the thicker the hoop will be. Scheme:

strands from the side of the face are taken into a braid, leaving those at the back free;
Having reached the opposite temple, secure the waterfall with hairpins/elastic bands or continue braiding.

A hairstyle with a voluminous braid looks impressive. It’s easy to create: take a larger strand from your temple and start weaving. New buns should be placed not on top of the braid, but under it. Do the rest according to the classic waterfall scheme. Having finished the braid, gently pull the combs so that they become more fluffy and airy.

For short hair

Although waterfall styling is recommended for women if the hair reaches at least the shoulders, weaving can be done by those with shorter haircuts. The length is needed to be long enough to braid and release loose strands. The only caveat:

Each bunch must be treated with mousse. This way, unruly hairs will not fall out of the braid and will be easily woven into the braid.

How to do your own hair

It is difficult to braid the entire circumference of the head with a waterfall braid. Stylists advise women to do their own hair to adhere to the following rules:

When styling, use several mirrors so that you can view your head from different angles. You will see and correct shortcomings in time.
It is better to weave a waterfall braid to the middle: first from the right temple, then from the left. Hide the ends at the meeting point under loose strands, make a tail, secure with a ribbon or hairpin.
Before your first experiments, it is better to practice on a friend or doll.
Although the waterfall braid is woven quickly, it is not easy to do without skill. You need to set aside at least an hour before leaving the house to do your hair calmly and without nerves.
Mousse or styling gel will make the job easier. They will make the strands more manageable.
If the hair is too hard or too dry, apply a balm or conditioner during braiding. If these products are not available, the strands must be moistened with water.
You shouldn’t weave a ribbon or thin cord into your hair for the first time. This should be done when the waterfall can be obtained without problems.
Do your hair only on a clean, washed hair today. A complex braid with strands released from it will look fuller, more voluminous, and more beautiful.

Waterfall hairstyle with step-by-step braiding

Among hairstyles for medium and long curls, it is now popular to use various weaves. The more unusual the shape or details, the more interesting the image looks. The waterfall braid got its name due to the sagging strands that emerge from under the binding knots.

Freely falling tufts of hair resemble flowing water. The base of the braid can run diagonally, vertically and even horizontally. The use of accessories to create an evening or holiday look is harmoniously combined with weaving.

Having mastered the technique, it is quite possible to create a trendy hairstyle on your head yourself. The lion's share of patience and efforts will soon bear fruit - you won't need to spend money and time visiting salons.

How to weave a waterfall braid?

A romantic hairstyle is used in daily and festive hairstyles. It is especially beneficial to emphasize the lightness and tenderness of the image in the evening version. Among several weaving methods, it is recommended to start mastering the technique with the classics.

Step by step guide:

Comb your hair. To make hair smooth and easier to manage, use a spray.
From the temporal side of one of the sides, separate 3 strands of equal volume. Make several weaves in the usual way, throwing each bunch once.
Lowering the top strand once again, you should grab the same volume from the top of your head and throw them together. Subsequently, the additional bundle will not participate in weaving; it is simply released downwards. And the working part is further used in weaves.
If large strands are used, then you need to lower the free curl each time the upper working strand goes down. If the working beams are thin, then sagging can be done through 1-2 links. This will make the waterfall effect more noticeable.
Having reached the end of weaving, secure the tip with an elastic band or hairpin.

To braid your own braid, you will need to supplement a regular tool with two mirrors to make it easier to navigate the sequence of crossing strands.

The option using two strands will be easier to master for doing it yourself.

Step by step guide:

Comb your hair.
Separate two identical bundles from either side. Twist them towards your face twice.
In the next weave, include a free strand selected from the side of the crown. Next, you should pass it along with the upper working beam, which is released from further weaving and remains free to sag.
The process is repeated with each top strand in the same way.
Having reached the middle of the back of the head, temporarily secure the curls with a hairpin.
Start the same weaving on the other side. Connect the strands that meet at the back of the head and secure with an elastic band.

A beautiful waterfall headband effect can be achieved on both wavy and straight hair.

Who would suit this hairstyle?

Waterfall is ideal for those with curly and straight hair. It is not very convenient to weave strands with small curls, so before creating a hairstyle it should be processed to fix the shape.

The braid looks equally good on both long strands and shorter hair.

A haircut with a ladder can add disharmony to the effect of falling curls. The loose ends will stick out in different directions.

The peculiarity of braiding on long hair is the formation of a massive base, which should not get lost in the perception of the hairstyle. Diagonal shapes, woven ribbons and the use of accessories will add completeness and elegance to the look.

Waterfall suits everyone who likes to wear . The braid will diversify the styling and bring something new.

What is needed to create it?

To create a waterfall hairstyle, you don’t need any special equipment or products. And it will take very little time after acquiring skills. All you need is a comb and rubber bands to secure the ends. To give a festive look, you can use various themed accessories.

Long flowing strands sometimes require further styling. To create a wavy shape, you may need tongs or corrugations.

To perform styling, you will also need to stock up on patience; without it, you will not be able to create a spectacular hairstyle.

Other hairstyle variations

Waterfall with curls

It looks truly festive and romantic. This hairstyle will decorate any girl. It differs from the classic version in the subsequent processing of freely falling strands.

Apply a little styling product to each of them separately, and use tongs or a curling iron to shape the curls. There is no need to comb your hair; you can straighten the curls with the sharp end of a comb. To give greater durability, you need to fix your hair with a small amount of hairspray.

Waterfall with a beam

Performed diagonally. Weaving should begin from the temporal part of one side, and end at the lower part of the back of the head on the opposite side.

The base is woven using any of the available methods. At the end of the braid, the working strands and the rest of the hair are gathered into a ponytail and then secured with an elastic band. Freely falling curls are also picked up towards the ponytail, forming a sagging bottom line. For volume, make a small backcomb on the tail and pin it with hairpins into a beautiful bun.

Waterfall on both sides

Provides alternate weaving from the temporal parts on both sides to the middle of the back of the head. The connection of two braids is done in a secret way using an elastic band and bobby pins.

The ponytail connecting the working strands is disguised as a braid or serves as a falling central curl. In this case, its thickness should be equal to the other sagging elements of the hairstyle.

Makes weaving interesting and more elegant. A woven ribbon that matches the color of a dress or T-shirt will look stylish. A contrasting bright shade will not overload the image, but rather will make a successful accent.

Step by step guide:

Comb your hair and part it evenly.
Separate three bundles of equal volume, securing a ribbon to the middle one. During braiding, the short end must be masked with hair.
Braid the braid in the classic way, paying attention to the position of the ribbon. The right working beam and ribbon are always placed on top, and the direction with the left goes under the bottom of the weaving.
The basic principle of the tape's participation in the braid is that it envelops the middle working beam.
Do not forget after each crossing to leave the lowermost curl free, replacing it with a new one.
It is effective to use horizontal weaving to display all the beauty of the hairstyle. If the length of the hair allows, then the snake shape is even more suitable. This design will not go unnoticed by the environment.
After the end of the free strands, the braid is braided in the usual way.
The tip is secured with an elastic band. The ribbon is tied in the form of a bow or flower.
Loose curls and braids are pulled into a bun and secured with bobby pins.
The design of an unbraided bottom looks no less beautiful, when on loose hair a ribbon highlights the braid over loose strands.

The desire to transform, change and make yourself better every day is natural for every girl, which is why today there are a lot of different hairstyle options to suit any outfit and mood. Thanks to their diversity, you can easily emphasize the unique style of the created image and express your individuality. For romantic natures, exquisite, delicate and unusual hairstyles were invented, among which the French waterfall remains the most popular. This cascade of braids is suitable for medium and long hair and is considered the standard of tenderness and romance among all other braided hairstyles.

Stylish styling both on holidays and on weekdays

Do you like braids? French Falls is what you need! This hairstyle is universal, ideal for everyday work or for classes at an educational center, and can also be combined with festive outfits. The only difference between this formal hairstyle and the usual one is the accessory. For everyday walks and work, use discreet elastic bands and hairpins to secure your hair. And for a festive occasion, you can choose a variety of artificial flowers, large bows and other bright decorations that will match the color and shape of the chosen dress or other clothing.

Braiding:

The only difficulty that girls have is that without knowing the braiding pattern, it is impossible to create a hairstyle either on yourself or on a friend. That is why, before you sit in front of the mirror and start making a French waterfall, you need to concentrate and understand which strand and where you need to direct in order to weave such a feminine and sophisticated braid. Below are detailed instructions explaining how to get the perfect hairstyle.

Where to begin?

In order not to spoil your hair and not subject it to combing again, you should try performing the first trial braiding on a mannequin. Only in this case can you understand and remember how to make a French waterfall. The scheme for creating such a hairstyle is quite complicated for a beginner and consists of eight steps. In order to skillfully weave different types of such braids in the future, you need to start with the simplest classic version. Braiding for a beginner takes on average up to thirty minutes, but the time spent completely depends on the length of the hair and its structure. It is very difficult to do such hairstyles on hair that is too curly. It is fastest and most convenient to perform them on slightly wavy curls.

Step-by-step instruction

There are several varieties of this hairstyle, but the classic version remains popular. The French waterfall involves the presence of curled curls, making styling look airy and easy. To braid a braid, you need to perform a number of steps:

Comb your hair thoroughly and part it crosswise. In this case, choose the side that is familiar.
Take the outermost strand (temporal lobe) and divide it into equal three parts.
The first three weaves should be from a standard braid: the right section over the middle one, then the left strand over the middle one.
The French waterfall has a distinctive feature: the middle strand is released, and in its place is taken that part of the hair that has not previously been used in this braid.
The selected part of the hair is woven into the braid, and the strand that is again in the middle is released down.
Weaving continues around the head. It is necessary to get an even rim along the face: from one ear to the other.
All released and left curls must be curled using curlers or a professional curling iron.
Having reached the second ear, you need to make a standard transfer from the resulting strands to secure the weave.

French waterfall - a hairstyle that suits any girl! Try to implement the instructions suggested above and see for yourself.

Wishes of specialists

This type of hairstyle is suitable for hair of any structure: wavy, curly and straight. There are many different options for weaving such a braid, but the classic method remains when the released strands are curled. If you need to make a festive unusual feminine hairstyle, then you should choose the French waterfall. The weaving pattern, although a little complicated, is easy to master if you remember a couple of recommendations from professional stylists:

Do not style your hair on freshly washed and dried hair. It will simply fall apart and will not hold on.
To make the braid voluminous and beautiful during braiding, you need to form thicker strands.
At the beginning and at the end of weaving, a regular braid is performed. This element makes installation stable and reliable.

French Falls: an option for romantic natures

When it comes to beautiful hairstyles, one involuntarily remembers that it takes a long time to do them. For inexperienced girls, this takes several hours, but in the case of the French waterfall, everything is different. To create such a hairstyle, an experienced hairdresser will need no more than 10 minutes, and a beginner - no more than half an hour. This styling option goes perfectly with short dresses, trousers and jeans. If you decorate your hair with a bright accessory, it will also be suitable for a festive occasion in a long dress.

The peculiarity of the French waterfall is that it gives a romantic look. Braids themselves are considered the standard of femininity, and in this hairstyle, braiding is combined with graceful curls that create a unique, delicate look.

Today the site will show you what a wonderful waterfall braid looks like and tell you how to weave it yourself. We will show step-by-step photos, and the weaving pattern will become clear to any girl.

All braids are based on the classic French braid. It is woven from three strands over the entire head and new strands from the total mass of hair are captured on each side. If you already know how to weave a French braid (spikelet), you can easily learn how to weave a waterfall braid.

This braid has several names; it is also called a cascade braid, a partial braid with strands released. The name waterfall braid comes from the fact that the strands that are left out resemble the flowing streams of a waterfall. Very beautiful!

The hairstyle has many advantages:

it can be braided on short hair (chin-length bob);
looks great on straight and wavy hair;
it is not difficult to weave;
ideal hairstyle for thin and thin hair. Thin hair must first be combed a little and braided, capturing thin strands;
If you have highlighting or coloring, a waterfall braid will successfully highlight strands that are different in tone. The hairstyle will look voluminous, with a prominent weave pattern.

The waterfall braid is also woven in several versions. You can braid it from one temple and finish the braiding on the opposite side, securing it with a hairpin or bobby pin. You can also finish the braiding with a regular braid, which will be on the side and hang playfully - this option is suitable for straight hair. Or put a braided braid in a flower. You can braid your hair by starting a new braid on each side and connect the two braids at the top of your head. Hairstyles created from a two-tiered waterfall braid are also beautiful. That is, under the first braid you can braid a second waterfall braid.

Waterfall braid, how to weave, diagram. Photo step by step

Comb your hair well before braiding to remove any knots that might interfere with the braid. Separate 3 strands of equal thickness from the side.

Start braiding a regular braid: place the top strand in the middle (through the top), then the bottom strand in the middle. Make two such bindings.

Place the top strand in the middle again, now place the bottom strand in the middle. Then, the strand that is located below is left (photo 4) and is no longer involved in weaving - this will be that first trickle of the waterfall, a free falling strand.
Instead of the left strand, take a small new strand from the total mass of hair from below.
To the top strand, add a small strand from the total mass of hair on top, as if weaving new hair into the existing weave.

We continue weaving according to this pattern further. The braid can be pulled down a little and braided diagonally, or kept at the same level. During braiding, it is better to take the falling strands forward and let the girl who is braiding this braid hold it. If you braid a waterfall braid on your own, the falling strands can get in the way; holding them with your mouth is very convenient.

Braid in the same way to the opposite side and secure the braid with bobby pins behind the ear. The strands can be slightly straightened to give the effect of a voluminous braid. It is advisable to fix the hairstyle with hairspray.
