Double Braid(ish) Look

**UPDATE** We made a video for Waterfall Braids, check it out at this link.** 
Yesterday we left off at this point. And I told you I was going to show you how I made this hair do (very) different. And hold up to our fine (type) hair. Anyone can use this. It doesn't have to be fine hair. I think the only thing it must be is long hair.

Starting from this point you are going to brush through the ends one last time to make sure you have all the top part smoothed through.

Now count each side for hair that is left down. Count each individual strand if one side has more you will just double up on your first weave through on that side. You want it to be balanced.

You are now going to weave in and out and secure in each strand to the finishing braid.

The weaving pattern should look like this. You can use an alligator clip to hold one side while you work on the other.

Weave the other and secure with an elastic while you continue weaving every piece until you have no more to weave.

Its going to look like this if you used rubber bands to hold all of them in place.

You now want to clip out the elastics. Every one but the bottom one. You can use my way of using a seem ripper to remove them, that is what we did.

And right now it isn't all that pretty--- kind of... BLAH. If you can't wait throw a bow in and it will relax into the style.

Here it is with a bow covering the ugliness.

But if you can wait for about five minutes you will find that gravity takes over and the top part falls beautifully into the bottom part giving it a wide braided look that you can't help but love.

You can still finish it with a bow, but it really doesn't need one.

And it did hold up to all day of running and playing, which the waterfall braid alone doesn't do for us. We call this one a winner.
