Waterfall Braid Braids & Updo for women

A romantic waterfall braid running horizontally across the back of the head from one side to the other. Strands of hair are dropped through the braid at each cross-over, creating a cascading, waterfall-like effect with hair flowing down through the braid. The remaining hair hangs in loose waves below. A delicate, ethereal style that combines braiding with flowing, free-falling hair for a fairy-tale look.
