Overseas Hair Arrangement ♡
In this era, more and more girls can cute self-arrange their hair*
When it comes to stylish overseas-inspired hair arrangements,
the two top contenders are the 'Fishbone' and 'Waterfall' style, which are very popular♡
But to be honest, many might feel that they don't know how to do either... It's difficult and they've avoided it until now because they are beginners...
In fact, once you get the hang of it, both styles can be surprisingly easy and create a wonderful hairstyle that looks intricate♩
This time, I'll introduce how to create Fishbone & Waterfall styles that are perfect for wedding guest hair*
First, let's look at how to do the Fishbone and its styles*
Fishbone, when translated directly, means fishbone. Just like its name, it is characterized by more intricate and complex braids than regular braids*
A wonderful point is that if you slightly mess it up, it gives a naturally fluffy vibe♡
Watch the how-to video carefully ♩
Here's the how-to video for Fishbone*
① Divide the hair to make the Fishbone into two sections
② Take a small amount of hair from the outside
③ Add that to the inside of the opposite section
Just repeat these 3 steps! Imagine constantly crossing the hair♡
If you take larger sections of hair, you'll have a more glamorous Fishbone with bigger braids,
and if you use smaller sections, you'll achieve a delicate and thin Fishbone♩
Recommended Fishbone variations ♡
The most classic arrangement for Fishbone is definitely this braided style*
The key to making it look stylish is to pull the braided parts to create a fluffy and messy effect overall♡
Having a half-up style with the hair left down in a Fishbone is also cute and feminine♩
Since you’re grouping less hair together compared to fully braiding it, it should be relatively easy! Please give it a try*
Lastly, this hairstyle features a Fishbone at the top with the ends styled into a bun*
By doing a Fishbone at the top, it gives a much more glamorous look overall♡
Twin tails like this seem cute too♩
Next, let's introduce the Waterfall method and arrangements*
The Waterfall style is less common than Fishbone, but mastering it will make you a self-arranging pro♡
The Waterfall is characterized by a peculiar braid that looks like water flowing down from a waterfall*
The how-to video looks like this ♩
Here's the how-to video for the seemingly complicated Waterfall style*
① Divide the hair above the ears into two sections and cross them
② Take a new section of hair from the top, and place it between the crossed sections
③ Let the new section fall straight down without braiding it
④ Take another new section and again place it between the crossed sections
Just keep repeating this! It may initially seem confusing, but let’s give it a shot by imitating what we see*
By the way, Waterfall is also known as "discarded braid" because you let sections fall as you go♩
Recommended Waterfall styles ♡
It's common to do the Waterfall style at the side and secure it with a rubber band, but...
This kind of arrangement creates flowers or ribbons from the ends and seems to be trending among hairstylists♡
Since it's difficult to do by yourself, it’s one to request when you visit a salon♩
The double Waterfall, where the braided part has two layers, is rare and beautiful♡
The method is to braid the top layer first, then follow up with the lower layer in the same way*
The Waterfall style is also popular with women who have short or bob hair♡
It seems good to start braiding from one side and secure it on the other side*
It’s cute to decorate the braids with hair accessories!
