00:05 -Hi, I'm CJ number three from Pure Girls Hairstyles.
00:08 And I just wanted to wish my mom a happy Mother's Day.
00:11 -And I want to wish all of you a happy Mother's Day, too.
00:15 Hearts in the air, right?
00:17 To all the moms.
00:19 So today, I'm actually going to teach you
00:21 the hairstyle waterfall twist into a mermaid braid.
00:25 So we've already demoed the waterfall twist.
00:27 So I have this side done on the left.
00:29 And I'm going to show quickly the one on the right.
00:31 We're going to fast forward through it
00:32 so I can show you how to put it into a mermaid braid.
00:35 And if you want to see how to do an actual waterfall twist,
00:37 you can check out the video.
00:38 I'll put a link right here.
00:40 And you can go to that and watch the tutorial for that.
00:42 So we've started by parting our hair in the middle.
00:45 And I've already done this side on the left, the waterfall
00:47 twist.
00:48 And now I'll show you very quickly the one on the right.
00:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:00 -OK, so now I've completed the waterfall twist
01:03 on the right side as well.
01:04 And I'm going to just take the two little twists
01:07 I have that she's holding.
01:09 She's got the other one.
01:12 We're going to bring them around to the back.
01:15 Comb these pieces down again.
01:17 OK, now we're going to create a braid out of these two twists.
01:21 So what we want to do is take a half a piece here, and then
01:26 a half of a piece on this side.
01:29 And then combine the two pieces in the middle
01:30 to create the third strand.
01:33 So we've now basically just created three strands, one, two,
01:36 and three.
01:37 And we're going to begin a normal braid out of that.
01:41 Make sure you get your waterfall strands down.
01:45 OK, now once you've done one entire stitch
01:48 of a regular braid, we're going to go back.
01:50 We're going to pick up this little piece of the waterfall,
01:53 the fall-through piece.
01:54 We're going to pick that up and add that into the left side.
01:59 And now we're going to pick up the right side, the hair that
02:02 falls through, and add that in as well.
02:04 And we're going to do one complete stitch,
02:07 so adding no hair.
02:09 Now we're going to go back to the left
02:11 and add in another strand into our regular braid.
02:17 Add in the strand on the right.
02:21 And just separate it out if you get any mixed up.
02:24 And then complete a stitch.
02:27 Don't worry if it looks loose right now.
02:29 That's kind of how we want it to look, and I'll show you why.
02:32 You can see I'm pulling the hair just slightly off of her head
02:35 as I'm going.
02:37 I'm braiding it in.
02:39 And that, I'll show you.
02:44 I'll explain it at the end.
02:45 So right now it's going to look kind of strange, just
02:48 because we're kind of pulling them tight,
02:50 but they're on a weird diagonal.
02:54 Don't worry.
02:56 So the only trick to the waterfall twist
02:58 is just making sure that you try to end up
03:00 with the same number of strands on either side of the head.
03:05 We're going to do-- I think we have two more on each side.
03:10 Keep pulling.
03:11 And of course, this will depend, and vary slightly,
03:13 depending on the length of your own hair.
03:15 If you have shorter hair, you're not
03:17 going to get as many stitches out of it.
03:19 That's fine.
03:19 We're adding in our last piece, and you
03:24 can see it kind of looks strange right now.
03:27 And add in our last one on this side.
03:31 And then we're just going to complete it into a regular
03:34 braid all the way to the end of the hair.
03:37 Now what happens is when I release this--
03:39 because you can see they're pulled pretty tight right now.
03:42 I'm going to secure it with an elastic.
03:44 And then I'm going to release it.
03:49 What happens is that loosens all of that hair
03:52 and allows it to just kind of float and hang much softer
03:57 and much prettier.
03:58 Very, very soft romantic look to the waterfall braid.
04:02 And any time you're bringing stranding in like this, where
04:04 there's space in between, you're pulling from the sides,
04:07 is what is typically called a mermaid braid.
04:09 Now if you want to add something fun,
04:11 you can put a bow on the end, or even a little ribbon
04:13 into the end of the hair.
04:14 Or you can just leave it like it is.
04:16 If you prefer, it's up to you entirely.
04:20 I think just a little purple bow with her little turquoise
04:23 shirt is adorable because it has such a spring feel to it.
04:28 And you get perfection.
04:30 I will spin her around so you can see the finished product.
04:35 It's really lovely.
04:36 I love this one.
