In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to blend two beautiful braiding techniques—the waterfall braid and the French braid—into one hairstyle that ends in fun, flirty pigtails.

Why You’ll Love This Style

• Versatile: Great for school, casual days out, or even a music festival.
• Youthful & Fun: The pigtails give a playful touch while the braids keep it chic.
• Showcases Detail: The waterfall effect along the hairline creates visual interest from every angle.

What You’ll Need

• Tail comb for clean parting
• Small clear elastics or hair ties
• Alligator hair clip
• Hairspray or texturizing spray for extra hold

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Create a Clean Part – Start by parting your hair down the middle for even sections.
2. Begin the Waterfall Braid – On one side, take three small strands along the hairline and begin a waterfall braid, dropping a section each time to create the cascading effect.
3. Transition Into a French Braid – Once you reach the back of your ear, continue into a French braid, incorporating sections as you move downward.
4. Secure Into a Pigtail – Gather the braid into a low pigtail with an elastic.
5. Repeat on the Other Side – Mirror the same steps on the opposite side for a balanced look.
6. Polish the Style – Tug gently at the braid to add volume and set with hairspray.

Pro Tips

• For extra texture, prep your hair with waves or curls before starting.
• Add ribbon or hair accessories for a fun twist.
• Practice the waterfall braid separately before combining it with the French braid if you’re new to the technique.
