  • Hey, everyone.

  • I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles,

  • and today we are going to film a hairdo

  • I'm calling the waterfall twist.

  • Now, for those of you that haven't

  • been able to master the amazing waterfall braid,

  • this is a great version that looks very similar,

  • but it's a little bit easier because you're only

  • dealing with two strands instead of three.

  • So I have straightened her hair.

  • Well, it's straight from her hairdo yesterday.

  • And I'm going to show you.

  • We're going to turn her a little bit.

  • OK, now I'm going to just pick up a little piece of hair.

  • I'm not going to go all the way down to the ear

  • just because I want to leave a little down so it looks nice.

  • But you want a pretty good size chunk

  • because this is going to be what you use as your main strand

  • all the way around the head.

  • So you're going to take this and divide it into two pieces

  • and go ahead and just twist one over the other.

  • OK?

  • Now, coming from the top, we're going

  • to pick up a chunk of hair.

  • And you can do small chunks or big chunks.

  • It doesn't matter.

  • We're going to take that chunk right over the top

  • and just let it fall right through the middle.

  • OK?

  • And then we're going to twist the hair again.

  • So I'll continue to show you.

  • Now, a waterfall twist always has

  • hair that comes from the top and goes

  • through the braid or the twist and down, and then

  • you can see the strands loose underneath.

  • So, again, pick up a chunk from the top.

  • I'm doing relatively small chunks on her hair this time,

  • and I'm going to show you on myself in another video

  • how to do bigger chunks.

  • Now, I'm crossing it over that top strand

  • but just then letting it fall through the middle

  • so it's actually going to end up underneath the other strand.

  • Can you see that?

  • Then take the two strands, twist them over each other just once.

  • OK, again pick up a hair.

  • Put it right through.

  • So you can see it's going straight through those.

  • Then just take them and cross them.

  • And again, you can do it as tight or as loose

  • as you want with as little of chunks or as big of chunks

  • as you want.

  • Now I'm going to just twist it.

  • I'll turn her some more so you can still see.

  • Pick up a strand.

  • Just let it fall through the middle.

  • Twist the strands over each other.

  • And don't be afraid to just smooth them if you need to.

  • And with hers, I'm going to go all the way around the head.

  • Now, as you can see, these two strands are still

  • that original piece of hair that I pulled from clear over here,

  • which is why you want to get a pretty good sized chunk

  • to begin with, because if you only

  • grab a little teeny tiny wispy piece,

  • you're going to be having a hard time by the time

  • you get to this side.

  • OK, let's spin her just a little bit more.

  • Maybe two more, so let it fall through,

  • then twist the strands.

  • Now on the last one-- I'm going to turn her just a little bit

  • more-- I try to pick up this piece so

  • that it kind of matches the other side.

  • So I'm going to pick up that piece right here,

  • take it through like so, give it one more little twist.

  • And then what I'm going to do is take a bobby pin,

  • and I'm just going to stick the bobby pin right inside that

  • twist down as far as I can and then just hide it

  • underneath the rest of her hair.

  • So what we end up with is this beautiful

  • looking stranded twist in the back.

  • And you can see where the hair started at the top,

  • goes through the actual twist, and falls down

  • through the rest of her hair.

  • And there you go.

  • And it looks amazing, so, so easy.

  • I'm sure you're going to love it.

  • And I will be filming a self version on my own hair,

  • and you can watch for that in an upcoming tutorial.

  • See you later, guys.
