The Waterfall Twist Revisited, Again!

March 26, 2013

The waterfall twist is a unique style that adds a little something special to your typical down hairstyle. This style is also a lot easier than most because for the majority of the time you are working with only two pieces. So follow the steps below to master this pretty, whimsical ‘do’!

Step 1. Start with tangle free hair. Start with a section of hair behind your ear and divide it into two equal pieces.

Step 2. Twist the front section over the back section.

Step 3. Grab a piece of hair from the top and place it between your two first sections. Once the new piece is laying between your twist, pull it tight and keep it out of the way.

Step 4. Next, twist your two original pieces again and grab a new piece like in step 3.

Step 5. Repeat the previous steps until you wrap around to the center back of your head.

Step 6. Secure with a bobby pin. Perform steps 1 through 6 on the opposite side.

Voila! Keep in mind, the waterfall twist works best on those with longer layers. Also, feel free to gently tug on the top of your head to give a voluminousness look! No matter what variation you choose, this style is sure to grab attention!
