Advanced Plaiting

Braid

The braid is very similar to the general French Plait. The only different is that rather than bringing the hair over the plait, instead you have to take it under the plait. This then leaves you wish a plait that is raised above the hair rather than a plait that looks flat against the head.

Waterfall

When creating the waterfall, you have to plait three times, but rather than folding the third piece into the plait, instead let it hang down and take a new piece of hair from above to carry on the plait. Plait twice in between each piece of new hair so it splits it up more than like a French plait. Carry this on till you run out of hair.

You can then also create another waterfall plait below this one using the same techniques, but rather than picking a new piece of hair to filter into the plait, use the pieces which are hanging from the plait above so that the two join together. This is also known as a princess plait.

Advanced plait

Start off by taking a small section of hair down one side of the face and begin to plait a couple of times.

Then filter in hair right from the back of the other side of the head similar to how you create a fish tail plait. Bring this piece of hair in like you would a french plait. Then plait twice, and do the same again. Continue this till you get right to the end.
