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 hairstyles.)
We have done this braided hairstyle for about a year or so now after learning it from a German hairdresser. He called it a Fairytale Braid, but my girls said it looked like a waterfall and that is what we named our version…
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 hairstyle, 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/Fairytale French Braid took me less than three minutes to complete after I had lightly straightened my DD’s hair! You may choose to continue the braid across the back of the head, or do another on the other side and join them in the back for an even prettier look!
I promise … you will get so many compliments on this hairstyle! Enjoy!!!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, water bottle, one clear rubber band, hairspray, accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3 minutes
I didn’t see the video either but I found it on her youtube page here..

Love the waterfall braid but I don’t see the video tutorial
You’re right this kind of braid is fairly difficult to explain in pictures. And I didn’t think it was possible to this at this length of hair. Amazing.
This is so beautiful! Thank you for the video tutorial! I understand it perfectly and my girls are having this today!
Pictures just did not make sense to me! THANK YOU!
