Prom Hair-Do

I had the fun and honoring privilege of being asked to do a friend's hair for prom.  

THE REQUESTS:

• Bangs stay out of her face and eyes

• Most of hair down

• Smaller, tight curls 

 THE RESULT:

• We started with a Waterfall Braid on the side of the part that included the bangs. 

• Start off french braiding regular, so that the hair in front stays out of the face. The regular french braid will last for two to four pieces of hair.  From there, you continue to french braid the pieces that are being added from the top but when you add hair from the bottom you pick up new hair that you intend to add to the bottom piece.  Now here's the twist, instead of adding the piece of hair to the bottom section of hair you drop the bottom section of hair and braid the new piece in by itself.  

• Once the braid reached the crown of her head, we secured it with bobby pins and curled the rest of her hair with a half inch curling iron.

The Waterfall Braid gives the appearance of sections of hair falling between your braid.
