3. Now, let’s begin with braiding your hair like how you normally would. Cross the top strand over the middle, then bottom strand over the middle.
4. Next, we will continue with waterfall braiding technique. Cross the top strand over the middle, and bring in a new section of hair mixing it into the braid.
5. Then, instead of crossing the bottom strand over the middle, drop it down to create the first waterfall piece. Grab a new section right behind the waterfall piece and cross it over the middle and mixing it into the braid.
6. Continue step 4 & 5 to create a waterfall braid, and keep braiding towards the left side of your hair and down to the nape of your neck.
7. Once you’ve reached the neckline and the last section of your hair is mixed into the braid, tuck the braid underneath your hair and hold it in place with some bobby pins until it is completely secured.

3. Part your hair near the center of the forehead, then, grab a small section near the part.
4. Divide the small section into three strands and cross the right strand under the middle strand, then cross the left strand under the middle strand.
5. Now, switching it to a dutch fishtail, you’ll need to grab small sections from one side under to the opposite side while adding new sections into the braid. Keep braiding downwards until it reaches the top of the ear.
6. Once you’ve reached the top of the ear, curve the braid towards the back of the head by adding new sections to the top of the braid without adding any new sections to the bottom of the braid.
