French waterfall is a hairstyle that is simple in design, but it can drastically change the face of a woman. It is a horizontal or diagonal braid with flowing curls, knocked out of the nodules and gracefully falling on the shoulders.

The very history of creating hairstyles is quite romantic. There is a version that the French barber invented it inspired by the beauty of this Gavarni waterfall. This miracle of nature is located in the French part of the Pyrenees and reaches a height of almost 500 meters. However, skeptics are of the opinion that this hypothesis is just a myth, in fact, the hairstyle was invented by French women when they were tired of braiding ordinary braids and wanted to add diversity to them. Which of these assumptions is true is not so important, because This hairstyle really deserves the closest attention.

But, even without it, weaving from the face is worth a try. With him, your luxurious head of hair will look neater, because the "wreath of hair" will help keep loose hair behind your back and save you from having to constantly remove them. Leaving the strands on the face, you will look more mysterious and flirtatious, which girls also sometimes need.

This hairstyle creates a light and smooth contour that elegantly frames the face and makes the image more feminine and harmonious.

Waterfall can be recommended to girls with any type of face: triangular, round, rectangular and even square, which does not suit short haircuts.

Weaving falls has a basic version and many subspecies, among which every girl will certainly find her own.

The braid can be one-sided, two-sided or twist the entire head, go in the direction of the right or left, closer to the face or the back of the head. For lovers of complex choices, hairstyles with several pigtails will suit immediately, then they will resemble a thin mesh. Tails, bunches, backing and weaves will turn your weaving into a work of hairdressing. The main thing is to find a good master and explain to him what result you want to get or show a photo of the hairstyle you like.

The most famous version of the waterfall is a horizontal French braid adorning loose hair. Most often it is located at the level of the head. You can see the detailed scheme in the photo.

The principle of weaving braids looks like this in stages:

• comb your hair, paying special attention to the root area; if your hair is curled, it will be useful to smear it at the base with wax;
• take the lock from the temple from any side; its thickness will correspond to the thickness of the pigtail;
• begin to weave a braid, but after the first step, leave the lower strand, and instead of it let loose a strand of loose hair;
• act on this principle until you reach the other side of the face;
• Tie the resulting pigtail with a rubber band.

Sometimes when creating this hairstyle you want to get not just natural flowing waves, but elastic curls.

Treat each strand with varnish and sprinkle the finished hairstyle entirely.

If you love bangs, it is not necessary to weave it into a braid. On the contrary, she will make this hairstyle even more feminine and mysterious. In addition, do not forget that it allows you to adjust the appearance. For example, a long straight fringe to the level of eyebrows helps to make a long face more harmonious, and a long slanting is more appropriate for a broad face.

The technique may seem a bit more complicated than that of the basic hairstyle, but it can also be easily mastered over time.

It is necessary to adhere to the following option:

• split the bang into a part;
• Stretch out a small strand from it, add it to your hair and begin to weave a pigtail;
• moving from the face to the ear, engage the entire half of the bang, continue to weave it to the nape;
• repeat these steps on the other side;
• Connect the two braids behind.

Thin tape will make the hair-waterfall even brighter and more unusual. Just add it to the middle strand at the beginning of the weave. Tape tail gently hide in your hair. When you finish the pigtail, cut off its excess end or leave it hanging nicely.

More originality will add a waterfall tail or a bundle of hair. Braid a pigtail diagonally, and after it is ready, grab your hair with a rubber band. Now you can tie a ribbon on the type of rim.

Even more effective will look hairstyle-bundle. The strands passing through the braid, do not add to the main tail, and connect over it with invisible. Thoroughly comb the hair in the tail, and then fasten all the hairs with hairpins, twisting them into a bun.

Spray the finished hair with lacquer. As an option, additionally decorate the head with a bow or a flower.

This kind of waterfall is good for thin and not very thick hair, as you will not have to weave many strands into the braid. The principle of weaving in this case is somewhat simpler.

Since it differs from the classical one, it is worth considering the creation process in stages, namely:

• parting in the middle or on one side; take two thin strands on the side of the right side;
• cross them so that the right is above the left; curls will be taken from the face;
• cross them again, with each strand twist clockwise to get flagella and cross them counterclockwise;
• now you need to separate the strand from the main hair and thread it between the crossed;
• put the right strand on the left again, turning it clockwise;
• again, take a strand of loose hair and place it between the crossed ones, twist them and cross them again;
• continue to weave them straight or diagonally; at the end, fasten the resulting “pigtail” invisible;
• for larger volume, slightly pull the hair upwards.

This is possible with sufficient length of hair. Or let two such "braids" from different sides towards each other and fasten them with a rubber band in the middle.

As we have said, the waterfall on curly hair looks much more interesting and expressive. If nature did not give you such curls, then make them yourself.

Fixing varnishes and mousses will help you save the result.

This variation differs from the classical one in that the hair is picked up not only from above, but also from below. To hairstyle looked beautiful, the hair must have sufficient thickness. As a result, the head will be framed not by an ordinary pigtail, but by a spikelet.

Begin to weave a thin braid of three parts from the temple. Weave into it the upper, then the lower strands, while the side must go over the middle. Do not forget to leave the hair at the bottom, which will fall over the shoulders.

It is worth paying attention to the following recommendations from professionals:

• even if you prefer to avoid styling products, in this case you should not refuse them, because they will fix the curls for a long time, and the process of weaving itself will be made easier; when using lacquer, keep the bottle at a distance of at least 15 cm from the head - as a result, the hair will not look stuck together; wax and mousse will help to better separate the strands and avoid the effect of loose hair;
• To create a natural and casual look for every day, make the braid nodules weaker, and for a solemn occasion - tighten them more tightly so that the hairstyle keeps its shape even at the most incendiary party;
• elegant hairpins, small bows, decorative flowers on the clips will help make the waterfall even more spectacular; for young girls, you can advise you to weave a thin ribbon into the braid to match the color of the dress, which will make the image complete and become its finishing touch;
• Of course, it’s not as easy to make such a hairstyle as a tail or a regular pigtail, but to learn how to weave a basic version on one side or from two small braids is quite real; just to start, try to do it on someone else's hair, so that the principle of weaving is completely understood;
• it is better for owners of thin and sparse hair to initially comb and smooth them, then the hairstyle will be slightly more airy and voluminous;
