  • -Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.

  • And today we're going to show you

  • how to do the Dutch waterfall braid.

  • So some of you may be familiar with our original two waterfall

  • braid videos where we use the French version of the braid.

  • And it has like 29 million views, which is amazing.

  • So we've mixed it up.

  • This time we're going show you how

  • to do it so the braid pops out instead of going in.

  • And it is really gorgeous.

  • You're going to love it.

  • So I'm going to start by picking up

  • the front section of her hair.

  • And I'm just going to section it into three pieces,

  • just like a normal braid.

  • Now remember, with the Dutch breed

  • that middle strand always crosses

  • over the outside strands.

  • So I'm going to go ahead and do one complete stitch, which

  • means it goes over both outside edges.

  • Now, when you get to this point--

  • so you have your three pieces.

  • You have your top, your middle, and your bottom.

  • You're going to drop that middle one.

  • Hold this, Beazy.

  • And I'm going to pick up another piece just right

  • behind where I dropped that strand.

  • And this is going to become your middle strand again.

  • OK?

  • Don't confuse it and put it on the outside.

  • Make sure it's your middle strand.

  • And then, you're going to go ahead and cross it

  • over the top, and then again, we're

  • going to pick up hair and add it in.

  • And cross it over the top, and that's another complete stitch.

  • So, we've done a full stitch.

  • You can see that that little piece of hair

  • right there pops out.

  • And we've completed that little tiny section.

  • So again, let's do it again.

  • We have our three pieces, top, middle, bottom.

  • We're going to go ahead and take the middle.

  • We're going to drop it through.

  • I'm going to pick up some hair right there behind it.

  • That becomes the middle strand.

  • So, you can see again I've placed it in the middle.

  • And now, I'm going across that middle

  • strand over the bottom strand.

  • Then, I'm going to add in here into the top piece,

  • and again across the middle strand over the top strand.

  • And that, again, is a complete stitch.

  • Can you see that secondary stitch right there?

  • So I'm going to go ahead and just continue to do this,

  • drop the hair, pick up piece, add it in, cross it over,

  • add in hair again, cross it over, and just continue

  • to do this.

  • Drop that strand, pick up hair.

  • Just, the only trick is making sure

  • that when you pick up that piece of hair

  • it goes into the middle, so that it crosses over and gives you

  • that nice piece laying over the top.

  • We're going to add in here hair, cross it over,

  • and we have another stitch.

  • And we're going to drop that strand, pick up hair,

  • cross it over, and we're just going to continue.

  • Turn her so you guys can see a little bit better.

  • I'm going to just continue to do this.

  • Drop that stand, pick up the section, cross it over the top,

  • pick up hair on top, cross it over.

  • Another complete stitch, drop the strand,

  • pick up hair, add it to the middle,

  • cross it over, that hair to the top.

  • And you can go around as far as you want.

  • I'm going to go just a little bit further, pick up hair, add

  • it to the middle, cross it over the top, add hair.

  • And I actually think I might do one more.

  • OK, so drop that strand.

  • I'll show you in another video how to do this on yourself,

  • because it can be done on yourself.

  • It's just a little bit different,

  • because you have to use your own hands.

  • And turn her so you can see.

  • Maybe one more.

  • Hold that for me.

  • Thank you.

  • Pick up another piece, add it to the middle,

  • cross it over the top, add hair.

  • And now, I'm going to go ahead and complete the braid.

  • And right here I'm just going to go into a regular braid

  • to finish it off.

  • You can release the strands.

  • And you can see the water falling effect.

  • Go ahead, braid it down as far as you like.

  • And we'll add an elastic that matches her hair,

  • so you can't see it a ton.

  • And then, just for a little added pizazz on her,

  • I'm going to try adding right here we go,

  • where we switch from a waterfall to regular braid,

  • I think it would be kind of cute to just add a bow.

  • You can leave it plain if you like.

  • You can add a bow if you like.

  • It doesn't matter.

  • You can add the bow down here if you'd rather.

  • Just something to add a little more pop.

  • And look at how beautiful that waterfall braid is.

  • The thing I love about it is that the braid just

  • pops out so, so pretty.

  • You can see all the way around.

  • And from the front, because we did a deep side part,

  • it almost matches on either side,

  • which makes it look beautiful from the front too.

  • Some exciting news.

  • About a month ago we did a little shout out

  • on one of our videos for Facebook page

  • called "Intermountain Moms."

  • And they contacted me recently and, as a thank you,

  • wanted top do a giveaway for our fans.

  • So I recommended that they give away five

  • $100 gift cards to Sephora.

  • at Sephora where you can pick up nail polish, and makeup,
