Waterfall braid with curls

Lindsey, on July 24, 2018 at 12:57 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 9

Hi! I went for my hair and makeup trial yesterday, and I told the hairstylist I wanted waterfall braid with loose curls and some loose pieces in the front. She told me that waterfall braids don't hold up well, and did two regular braids that meet in the middle, but I'm not sure it captured what I'm looking for. Does anyone have pics of their own hair in the style I'm describing? No pinterest pics please- I've seen them all Smiley smile I'm hoping to get real life inspiration from people that are not models Smiley smile Thanks!

    This is what I imagine you wanted.

    This is what it sounds like you got.

    Could she do somethings like this, just with curls? The pieces are pulled through a normal three strand braid so it's more secure.

    I don't have a picture, but I have done tons of waterfall braids on my sisters and some of my friends. They hold just fine, but if you or her start getting worried about it you can easily put bobby pins behind the braid. I also suggest spraying it with a little water to dampen it a bit ESPECIALLY if you have thick hair. Hairspray can help after you braid it, and braiding tightly and tying it down well at the could also help. The biggest thing I found if I want to do any curl at all, is to make sure that you curl it after you braid it. If you already have natural curls then straighten it, braid it, then curl it.

    I thought it might make sense to curl after based on pictures i've been looking at. Thank you so much!!!

    Hey, Lindsey! What kind of texture is your hair? That can definitely make a difference in the type of braid that will (or won't) hold!

    I love the idea of your style though, sounds very pretty! Smiley heart

    My hair is naturally wavy. I have a lot of it, but it's not necessarily super thick. The

    Now that I've seen your pictures, I don't think there's any reason a waterfall braid wouldn't hold up.

    Hi Lindsey!! Your friend did a great job and I think a waterfall bread looks beautiful! Did you ever figure out how you're going to have your hair at your wedding? Did your stylist figure out a way to achieve this look for you?
