Unfortunately, the provided references only give a very brief, fragmented glimpse into using a Conair Quick Twist device, which might be used to create waterfall braids, but it is not specifically a "waterfall braid maker". Assuming the device is similar in function, here's a general breakdown based on the partial description, and common braiding principles:
-
Twist Two Hair Pieces: Start by taking two sections of hair where you want the braid to begin. Twist these two pieces together.
-
Slide the Device Down: The "believer" (likely a part of the Conair Quick Twist device) is then slid down to the two twisted sections. This likely secures the twist or prepares it for the next step.
-
Slide Hair Off: The hair is then slid off (presumably from the device or the twisted sections). It's unclear which part of the hair is slid off, but likely refers to integrating a new section of hair into the braid. This is a crucial element of creating the "waterfall" effect, where strands are dropped.
-
Fasten with an Elastic: Finally, the braid is fastened with an elastic to secure it in place.
Important Considerations & Potential Revisions to the Steps:
-
Lack of Clarity: The description lacks vital steps such as selecting the initial sections of hair, integrating hair from above, and specifically creating the "waterfall" effect.
-
General Waterfall Braid Principles: A true waterfall braid involves braiding along the hairline, dropping the lower strand of the braid each time and incorporating a new strand from above to continue the braid. The reference doesn't specify this, assuming the "sliding hair off" section refers to dropping the lower strand.
-
Device Functionality: The description is tailored to a specific device; therefore, without full context or a specific model number, it's difficult to provide definitive instructions.
Revised General Steps (Assuming Waterfall Braid):
- Section Initial Hair: Take a section of hair near your part. Divide this section into three strands.
- Start Braiding: Begin a regular three-strand braid.
- Create the Waterfall: Instead of including the bottom strand in the next part of the braid, drop it.
- Incorporate New Hair: Pick up a new section of hair from above, near the dropped strand, and include it as the new bottom strand in your braid.
- Continue Braiding: Repeat steps 3 and 4 along your hairline, creating the waterfall effect.
- Secure the Braid: Once you reach the desired length, finish the braid and secure it with an elastic. You might use the Conair device at some point during this process to assist with twisting or holding strands in place, as implied in the reference.
To get the most accurate instructions, consult the specific user manual for your Conair device model or search for video tutorials featuring that exact model and "waterfall braid."
