4. Weaved waterfall (h/t Miss Sams Hair, Nail, Beauty)
For this look, stop braiding halfway down your hair, and pull the braided sections so they fall really loose. This messy style works well for the beach or a picnic at the park.

5. Floral waterfall (h/t Upgrade U By Sophie)
The braid is simple enough (it works crossways, halfway down), but adding flowers to the style takes this look up a notch. If you want a fancier version, braid across your entire head before adding a floral touch.

7. Waterfall headband (h/t Just Braid Hair)
When you need something quick, try this braid. Create a crown by working the waterfall from both sides of the head. The ends of the hair work into a knotted twist to keep everything tidy. It's a smart way to pull the style together.
