  • [MUSIC - CHARITY VANCE, "ICING"]

  • -Hey, everyone.

  • I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.

  • And today I have CGH Number Four with me,

  • my little freckled dreamboat.

  • What are my favorite things about you?

  • -My nose and my freckles.

  • -She's got it.

  • See, I tell her all the time.

  • So today I'm going to show you how

  • to do a hairstyle that's a great sporty hairstyle.

  • I did the Frenchbacks all the time.

  • We're calling this one waterfall into Frenchbacks,

  • because it's a little bit added twist with a waterfall in it.

  • You're going to love it.

  • So we've started by parting her hair into three sections.

  • So there's like a middle section.

  • Will you tip your head back as far as you can?

  • Thanks.

  • You can see there's a middle section that

  • runs all the way down her head, and then a right section

  • and a left.

  • And they're about equal amounts of hair.

  • As best you can, get it pretty close to equal.

  • We're going to start with this middle section.

  • So I'm just going to let this hair loose.

  • We're going to start right up here in the top,

  • and we're going to pick up hair.

  • And we're going to be doing a waterfall braid,

  • but we're going to be dropping strands on both sides.

  • So we're going to just start by doing

  • a normal stitch of a braid.

  • Now when I get to this left side-- will you hold this

  • for me?

  • Thank you.

  • I'm going to drop that strand, and then pick up more hair

  • and continue the braid.

  • When I get to the right side, drop that strand,

  • pick up more hair.

  • So on each side, drop that strand, pick up more hair.

  • And because we have it already parted,

  • the picking up hair part is really pretty simple,

  • because you just go in here, find your part line,

  • and grab a little piece of hair right where that is.

  • So again, drop hair, pick up hair,

  • and continue this braid all the way down.

  • Go in and pick up hair and drop it.

  • Don't worry if it starts getting a little bit loose.

  • That's OK, because you'll see later,

  • we kind of go back in and tighten it all up.

  • Whoops.

  • There you go, babe.

  • You can use a clip, if you're doing this on yourself,

  • to hold the hair out of the way.

  • Since I have extra hands, I'm going to utilize them.

  • Pick up, drop.

  • Thank you.

  • Pick up.

  • We've got one more pickup.

  • Drop this one, and pick this up.

  • Now, when you get to the end, just

  • make sure you have all the hair, and then just

  • do like a simple-- finish it off with a simple braid.

  • But we're going to undo this at the end,

  • so it doesn't really matter, as long as you just get it

  • away from the head far enough to just run

  • a big, fat elastic around it.

  • OK, now I've gone ahead and completed this left side.

  • It only took me about a minute and a half, two minutes.

  • And I'll show you how to do it on this right side.

  • So we have the stranding from the waterfall,

  • and then we have our section that we

  • had held by the rubber band.

  • We're going to just let that go.

  • I'm going to flip all these strands over,

  • so they're kind of out of my way for the minute.

  • And I'm going to begin a basic French braid.

  • The only difference is that on this top side,

  • I'm going to add in a strand from the waterfall braid

  • as opposed to just regular hair.

  • On this bottom side, however, right here,

  • I am going to just scoop up hair like you normally

  • would if you were French braiding.

  • So again, on this top, I'm only going

  • to add in a waterfall strand.

  • On this bottom, I'm going to scoop up hair

  • like I would normally do it.

  • Add in a strand.

  • Scoop up hair.

  • Add in a strand on the top.

  • And in hair on the bottom, like normal.

  • And you're just going to work your way down

  • until you run out of hair both on top and bottom.

  • Add in a strand.

  • Scoop up hair on bottom.

  • Along the back, same thing.

  • Add in hair.

  • Scoop up.

  • And you can pull those strands tight as you're adding them in,

  • and that will flatten them out if they

  • had come loose from before.

  • We're almost to the bottom.

  • Last little bit.

  • OK, and then when we are done, I'm

  • just going to do a couple stitches of normal braid right

  • here.

  • Now, there's lots of things you could do at the end.

  • You could just combine them all and make them a ponytail.

  • You can-- I'm going to-- I think I'm

  • going to do this-- make them a braid.

  • I like the way this looks.

  • So I'm going to loosen this one up like this,

  • and essentially make like three strands out of all

  • of these braids, and just do one big braid down at the bottom.

  • But certainly, just adding it into a little ponytail

  • at the end with a ribbon would be adorable.

  • There's lots of ways to finish that off.

  • Would be cute.

  • And you are done.

  • There you go.

  • And you have-- tip your head back and show them.

  • Oh, not that far.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • There's good.

  • OK.

  • And you have this really cool-- tip back just a little bit more

  • so they can see the top.

  • There you go.

  • This really cool braid.

  • What do you think?

  • -Cool.

  • -Cool.

  • I think it looks really cool, too.

  • I bet you'll love it if it's for sports and athletics.

  • Be sure to check out "Makeup to Breakups,"

  • since I'll put a link over here.

  • I got to be in an episode with AndreasChoice,

  • and we discussed honesty.

  • You guys are going to love it.

  • We took some really good, funny stories in it.

  • So be sure to check it out, and we will see you guys later.

  • Bye.

  • -Bye.

  • -Now what if your friend was the cheater?

  • -Ooh.

  • I don't know that I would tell my friend's partner.

  • But I would totally lay in to my friend.

  • -Yes.

  • -Like, let 'em have it.
