3 strand braid

You'll need:
Three temporary elastics
One small elastic

How to do this hairstyle?
  1. Comb all of the hair back. If you'd like a very tight and neat hairstyle, then do a part left and right off centre, but this is optional.
  2. Take a small strand of hair in the middle and divide this into three strand.
  3. Now start a waterfall braid, but pay attention: this is a double waterfall braid! This means you'll be dropping strands and both the right and the left and replacing them with new strands of hair. Make sure to drop the same number of strands on both sides (the hairstyle in the photo has 6 dropped strands on each side).
  4. When you've reached about the middle of the head, braid down a little further. Finish off with a temporary elastic.
  5. Now take a small strand of hair above the right ear and divide it into two. Start a waterfall twist with this. The strand you're using as waterfall strands are the strands you've dropped on the right side of your waterfall braid.
  6. When you've used all of the waterfall strands for your waterfall twist, then twist a little further down and finish off with a temporary elastic.
  7. Now repeat step 5 and 6 on the left side.
  8. Now take the hair from the two waterfall twists and from the waterfall strand in the middle. Remove the temporary elastics and use the three strands of hair for a regular 3 strand braid. Finish off with a small elastic.
  9. If you like, you can add some curls. The curls in the photo were done by tightly French braiding the hair a day earlier and then sleeping with it overnight.
Good luck!
