Si vous cherchez a new braiding style that will have people asking how you did it, but isn’t too hard to do on your own hair, let us introduce you to the waterfall tresse. This dreamy style creates a tresse that’s attached to the head like a tresses françaises, but also features loose tendrils flowing from the tresse. How to waterfall tresse? To create a waterfall tresse, divide the section you’re beginning with into three equal pieces, and begin braiding using the french braiding technique. Cross the upper piece of hair (whichever is closest to your part) over the tresse into the middle, then cross the lower piece over the tresse into the middle. On your next stitch pick up and add some hair to the upper piece of hair as you cross it into the middle, then cross the lower piece over and into the middle, adding some hair into this piece at the same time. On your third stitch (or whenever you’d like to begin the waterfall effect) cross the upper piece over as you’ve been doing. But this time, instead of crossing the lower piece over into the middle of the tresse, drop this section of hair and pick up a new piece from directly behind it to cross over into the middle of the tresse. The piece you dropped will be left trailing out of the tresse, creating a waterfall effect that begins to take shape once the tresse is further along. Continue repeating this last stitch for as long as you’d like your tresse to have a waterfall effect. If you need some more inspiration, take a look at our favorite waterfall tresse styles!

If you’re ready for some next level braiding, this four strand waterfall tresse puts a more complicated spin on the style while maintaining a similar look. Begin by dividing a section of hair on the left side of your head into four strands. Take the strand on the far right side and cross it underneath the strand next to it, then overtop of the strand next to that, and finally underneath the far left strand. Next take the middle two strands, and cross the left strand over the right strand. Pick up the far right strand, and cross it underneath the strand next to it, picking up some loose hair to add into it, then cross it over the top of the next strand, and underneath the far left strand. When you bring the far left strand over the top, pick up a section of hair and add it into this piece. The strand that is now on the far left will be the first waterfall strand. Cross the middle piece over the one on the left, and you’re set to begin the cycle again, picking up a new piece of hair to replace the far left strand that was previously dropped.
