Use a comb to draw your part along either side of your head. Brush the hair on both sides of this part to keep it smooth.  To create this look, you'll create a partial French braid that drapes down along one side of your head. As you form the braid, though, you'll leave some hair hanging down from beneath it, creating a “waterfall” effect. This style may be better for individuals with short hair that comes to at least their shoulders or just above their shoulders. Alternatively, if your hair is very short you can try to do a waterfall braid on a section of your hair, not your entire head. Gather approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of hair toward the front of your face. This section of hair should be taken from the wider side of your part. If you have long, sideswept bangs, your first section of hair will mostly consist of your bangs. If not, draw the section from the hair closest to your part and at the front of your face. Split the section of hair into three equal portions, then braid those portions together into one or two full braids. To form a single braid, cross the left portion of hair over the middle portion, then cross the right portion of hair over the new middle portion (previous left portion). Gather a new portion of hair into the braid by drawing it from the top of your head.You'll add this hair to your braid using a traditional French braiding technique.  Pick up a section of hair directly next to the topmost section of your braid. The section should be roughly one-third as thick as the overall braid. Draw the new portion together with the current topmost piece, essentially forming one large portion. Create another single braid using this newly joined portion of hair. Gather a new portion of hair into the braid from beneath. Instead of incorporating it into a standard French braid, however, you'll use this new section as a substitute for an old section.  Pick up the second new portion will from directly beneath and behind the braid. Draw together a portion of hair roughly one-third as thick as the overall braid. Drop the current bottom portion of the the braid and allow it to hang loose down the side of your head. Create one new braid using the new bottom portion. Leave the previous bottom portion alone. Continue drawing new hair into the braid using the same technique as before. Braid the hair in this manner until you reach the back of your head.  Each new portion of hair taken from above the braid should be woven into the braid with the previous top portion. Each new portion of hair taken from beneath the braid should be woven into the braid instead of the previous bottom portion. Tie the loose end of the braid off with a small elastic hair band. Allow the loose ends to hang down naturally off the back of your head. Carefully brush the loose hair hanging from beneath your braid to remove any tangles and smooth out any frizz. Check your braid in the mirror. If you like the way it looks, the braid is done and ready to show off. If not, unbraid and redo until you have the desired look.
