What do you get when you cross 31 yrs of living, 11 yrs of marriage, one HOT husband, four adorable daughters and one handsome son, and tons of great family and friends? Pretty much the sum total of who I am!!
This is a very beautiful and elegant variation of a French Braid that is perfect for moms, teens, tweens, and little girls! (If you cannot tell, I use French Braiding a lot in many of my hairdos.) I have seen this style, or variations of it, all over the place, including Dancing With the Stars.
This is also a style that is very tough to teach via photos, unless I wanted to post 20-25 pictures enough to demonstrate the exact technique. I thought a video tutorial would be more helpful, so you will have to let me know how you like it. (I would recommend not accessorizing this hairdo, but you may opt for a ponytail in the back if your DD is going to be active that day. That is what I did when my DD had a soccer game on Saturday!)
This “Fall-Through” or Curtain/Waterfall French Braid took me less than three minutes to complete after I had straightened my DD’s hair! You will get plenty of compliments on this one!
Enjoy!!!
I loved it! I tried doing it on my hair right away. I love this website so much. Thanks so much.

I loved this braid. I tried in on myself and it looked really cute. I can’t wait until my daughter’s hair is long enough to braid
I love this hairstyle so much! It’s really pretty at it’s really good at school when I want my hair down but not in my face
do you think that wud look good on curly hair???
Finally tried this hairdo on my sister. I did it on both sides as she has a middle part, I also put the tails in a small (regular) 3 strand braid.
It looks really interesting.
Thank you for posting it.
I’m getting better. 2 Sundays in a row with success. Thanks for the great tutorial. The video was very helpful.
I really like this one it is really cute. My mom has been trying to do this on me for a wile but she just can’t get it right. is there more ways for my mom? shes really new at this.
Mindy,
I am a mother that does not know how to do a french braid. no clue. Can you please do a simply video showing step by step to completing a french braid. Hope you can help me.
Thanks so much,

Will his hairstyle work if you have bangs?
by the way i love your videos very creative

[...] one of the more complex hairstyles is the Waterfall Braid, and so many YouTube viewers have left comments wanting to know how to do this if you do not have [...]
My girls and I love your site!!! I loved the waterfall braid from your first video but I didn’t think it would hold in my youngest because she has a the aline bob cut. However once I seen the the waterfall #2 video (self braid) I thought I’d give it a shot and it looked adorable!! She has now decided to grow her hair so she can do more of your styles.
) Thank you for all the great ideas!!!
can u post a pic of when ur daughter had a fall through french braid into a pony
Watching your video’s have been so much fun to watch with me kids:) I love all of your simple ideas and your step by step instruction.
It’s neat how your styles look so hard to do…like you spent hours on your child’s hair, when really it’s using the basic braid (for example.) and doing something unique with it.
Thanks for not being afraid to step out of your comfort zone and to try new ideas. I am looking forward to trying them all:)
