The procedure for performing this hairstyle is as follows:

  1. Make a side part. On the one hand, at the temple, highlight 2 strands of the same thickness. They will be workers.
  2. Horizontally put one strand (front) on the other.
  3. From the main volume of hair take a curl of the same size as the working strands, and put it perpendicularly to the upper strand.
  4. Place the lower strand horizontally on the taken curl, cross-wise. It turns out that it is as if in a loop.
  5. Repeat the action. Only now the order of working strands will change - the upper part of the hair will become lower. At this stage of training, you can fix a loop with a thin little rubber band, but it's better to learn without it.
  6. Stretch down the second vertical curl.
  7. Continue the described actions approximately to the middle of the head, slightly pulling the braid down under the slope.
  8. When there are 5-8 cm left to the ends of the working strands, stop passing hair through them, weave a regular thin pigtail.
  9. Lock it with an elastic band and secure it with invisible hair under the back of the head.
  10. To sprinkle with varnish the received hairdress, neatly to smooth out the hairs.

Over time, you can decorate the proposed version of the spit-waterfall by the interlacing of ribbons or thin laces. Also it can be decorated with small hairpins or hairpins with artificial stones, pearls, small flowers or bows. Beautifully looks this weave, if you twist the ends of the curls slightly, which are passed vertically through the loop.

How to weave a spit-waterfall to yourself?

When the technique of performing a simplified waterfall of 2 strands will be mastered, one can begin to weave a classical braid. Doing it is a little more difficult, since the working strands in this case are as large as 3, and the lower one always has to be taken from the bulk of the hair. But after several training weaving is excellent.

It happens that even after watching the training videos it is not entirely clear how to weave yourself a classic scythe-waterfall - the scheme helps to more clearly represent the sequence of actions:

  1. Near one of the temples highlight 3 working strands.
  2. Start to weave a simple braid.
  3. The uppermost working strand is to be released vertically downwards.
  4. Instead, take a new working strand from the bulk of the hair (from below).
  5. Repeat the steps described.
  6. Continue weaving until the next temple.

It is worth noting that it is quite difficult on its own to braid the entire circumference of the head with the oblique waterfall, so women prefer to add it only to the middle. The ends of the braids can either be hidden under the hair, or decorated with ribbon, bow.
