French spit "waterfall" - elegance and versatility

One of the most attractive and at the same time simple hairstyles is the spit "waterfall". It is a braid plaited across the head, from which the curls fall, like the waves of a falling waterfall, which describes the name. Such a pigtail does not roam like the usual "spikelets" and "dragons", so it is important to understand the whole technology and the principle of weaving, and then the hair will turn out beautiful and successful.

To begin with, the hair needs to be put in order - they must be clean and smooth. To make them easier to comb and divide into strands, it is advisable to apply a smoothing cream or mousse on them - and the hair will become more obedient, and the hair will last longer. The scythe "waterfall" spins from one side of the head to the other, that is, "from ear to ear". Therefore, most often, for convenience, the beginning of the braid is taken at the left ear.

So, having grasped the lock from the side and dividing it into three equal parts, we begin to weave an ordinary braid. Then gradually a new bundle of hair is applied to the upper strand, which is caught from the top of the head. This bundle extends and falls down, after which the braiding of the main braid continues in the usual order. It is important to know that the pigtail "waterfall" can be located as smoothly, parallel to the surface of the earth, and obliquely, that is, with a slope down.

After the spit "waterfall" reaches its extreme point, it must be secured. It is important that the end of the pigtail looks as aesthetically and neatly as the hairdo itself, so it is not recommended to use large and gummy gum. It is best to pick up a thin rubber band in a tone to your hair, and then fix the tip of the pigtail with stilettos or invisible ones. However, at the end of the spit, you can also make an accent in the form of a beautiful barrette. The main thing is that it corresponds to appearance and occasion.

The main advantage of the "French waterfall" hairstyle is the versatility and variety of forms and variants of execution. It looks perfectly and attractively both on straight hair and curled locks. In addition, the "waterfall" spit is perfectly combined with cocktail dresses in the evening, and in the day it can be safely braided for work, and it will become the main accessory of a strict business image. And due to its strength, the spit "waterfall" can not be unraveled for several days.

The above technology of plaiting braids can be supplemented and changed to any harmony. Such a hairstyle can be braided from one ear to another, obliquely, and also in a "mirror" version - that is, to connect two braids coming from two opposite sides into a single one. Choose one or the other option, depending on the case and type of hair, because the less obedient, the less chance to put a complex hairstyle.

Before we begin to weave the French braid "waterfall", it is advisable to watch a video lesson, in which every stage of the construction of this hairstyle is demonstrated in detail. Also in this case will help photoinstruction, with a step-by-step description of all actions. In fact, it's easy to learn how to weave a "waterfall" spit, and after the main lessons are mastered, any girl can quickly realize even the most complex variation of this hairstyle.
