Hello, dear readers! This is Sarah, and I could not be more excited to add a style post to Elsie's parade of Tricks + Treats!
I think that braids are one of the most versatile and easy hairstyles to wear during Autumn. They are textured and seemingly unintentional, or smoothed and polished.
Today, I'm sharing the cascade/waterfall braid with you. I think it's really easy to do on yourself, and others, and you can switch it up a bit to match your day's style.
We decided to use it for a halo shape!
Step Two: After 3 or 4 weaves, drop a strand. Gather a new strand that pulls the braid toward your wanted direction. Repeat as many times as necessary until you get your desired shape.
It really is that easy!
* If you pull at strands as you go, you can get an even more defined braid shape (like Elsie's)! Love, Sarah
Thanks, Sarah! This is so much fun. You can style my hair any day…. You're the best! Love, Els
ps… here are a few sneak peeks from our shop today! the sign is up (YAY!) and so is the vinyl… now we're just doing finishing touches (i'll blog much more about this next week! this is just a tiny peek)…
I would like to visit you guys store one day..
I love this hairstyle!!! I want to see if I can do it myself!
i really like the barrel curls in the red heads hair, would you do that before or after you braid it?
Wow….! Superb hair style. I like it so much.
it look cute!
i want to learn this for a long time!
thanks for sharing;D
When I try and do this the strand I drop just points towards the plait and sticks out funny, I tried plaiting it very loose but it still does it, my hair would never flop downwards like the blond hair in the picture of it being plaited. Is my hair weird? Its so frustrating it just isn’t working at all 🙁
I tried this today… It worked pretty well but I need to do it when my hair is damp and have a bobby pin & mirror. Great idea, thank you!

I had always wanted to learn about this topic … I think it’s great the way you expose .. great work and continuing on with this great blog
The storefront looks amazing, I can’t wait to stop in and check it out!
I also love this braid. I have seen other tutorials but this one makes it look a little easier than others. I have tried so hard to do this on my head but have only been successful when someone else does it. It’s harder than it looks! Oof! What a cool hairstyle though; I’ll keep trying!
so beautiful!!! and dreamy. 🙂
