- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
Kayla is here with me today.
- Hey guys. - Letting us borrow
her blonde locks, that look amazing.
And we're gonna show you the Chain Waterfall Braid.
So this one is definitely what I would say,
an intermediate hairstyle,
because it's a little different than a normal braid,
but certainly doable as long as you're following the steps.
So what do you think Kayla?
- It's definitely pretty.
Kayla keeps looking at it and going,
it looks so pretty.
It does look so good.
So we will show you guys and let's get to the hair.
Okay, to start this hairstyle,
I'm gonna prep her hair with a little dry shampoo.
You guys know I'm using Lazy Day from Hairitage.
This is just gonna help dry up any loose oil.
And it's also just gonna give the hair
a little bit of texture,
which we want going into (spritz) styling.
So we get that ready.
And then I'm gonna go to the front right here by her ear.
I'm gonna leave her bangs out,
and I'm gonna pick up,
you know, like a one inch section, a little,
a good-sized section,
but not like crazy,
because we are going to use this,
to do the chain part all the way back.
So as the hair gets thinner,
it will be harder to use it,
if you don't pick up on that hair in front.
So I'm gonna take this section.
I'm actually gonna use a little Magic Dust.
This is from Hairitage as well,
and I'm gonna tap it in,
just lightly down the whole strand.
This again, it's gonna just add a little grit.
It's gonna keep the hair from sliding,
as you're working with it.
So you take this,
divide it into three sections,
and you do a normal stitch for a braid.
So just one stitch.
Then we're gonna take and pick up right here
at the top of her scalp.
A nice little section.
We're gonna go under,
over and under.
So we just weaved it through.
I'm gonna have her hang on to this for me.
So we just weaved that hair through.
Now, this is the different steps.
So I'm gonna go through this really slow.
Now you have your three pieces still,
she's holding that forth.
You're gonna take this bottom piece,
go under the middle.
So just a nice little crossover.
But this top piece,
if you were braiding,
normally you would take it
and switch it with the middle piece.
We're gonna take it and go under both pieces like that.
So you still have your three pieces.
We just kind of criss-crossed them,
so that it made a nice little like chain link effect.
We're gonna go back up to the top,
pick up hair and repeat.
So under the top one,
over the middle,
under the bottom.
So we weaved it through.
She's gonna hang on to it for me.
Now we're gonna repeat again here.
The bottom piece goes under the middle,
and this top piece goes under both of those.
So chain link.
Okay? And then we're going
to pick up another section the top,
and start over.
Under, over, under, hold and cross under,
and this one goes under both pieces.
And I'm probably gonna do one more here.
Under, over, under and onto it.
And (murmurs)
Okay, now I'm gonna go
once I feel like you can let those go, Kayla,
Once I feel like I'm about halfway on her head,
which I'm about there right now,
I'm going to just take this,
do a couple little braid pieces just to secure it,
this and secure it with an elastic (snaps)
Mine just broke.
And then I'm gonna just repeat all of that
on the other side,
I'm gonna clip this out of the way for a second,
flip it all the way,
and repeat on the other side,
and I'll show you how to finish it off.
Okay guys so I have completed.
Same steps on the left and the right.
Now we need to merge them in the middle.
I'm gonna take this piece on the right,
put my fingers through the loop,
and then take this piece on the left,
and just loop it through.
And they're basically gonna merge together,
and then you can remove these elastics.
You can put in a third elastic
before you do that if you want,
it's up to you.
But basically just combine them, right?
That's the goal, ultimate goal is combined.
So combine them right here.
Then you can just remove these.
(upbeat music)
Whatever is easiest for you so that it makes one nice,
pretty continuous pull back.
Now I'm gonna go back and just barely
pancake these a little,
I just wanna overemphasize the chain link parts of them,
and I think a little emphasis will be pretty.
So I'm gonna work my way up.
(upbeat music)
And make sure they all look good.
And on the side (murmurs)
there you go.
And then you can pair up this elastic if you want,
or add something fun like about.
Okay so we're gonna just put a pretty little
lacy bow in her hair,
and she's got these magical peachy curls that go with it,
and we are done.
Okay you guys here's the final spin on this one.
It is so pretty.
(groans) She's killing me with this hair.
- Looks amazing. - Looks so good.
- So good.
