How To Set Just Braided Hair With Water?

To create a waterfall braid, submerge a clean towel in boiling water and remove it carefully. Let it cool down before placing it over your scalp and braids. Allow the towel to dry before taking off and letting your hair dry. This process should take no more than 15 minutes and can be done right after getting your hair braided or anytime your hair needs a refresh.

To moisturize your braids, use hair tea or leave-in conditioner to dampen the hair first. For thick or layered hair, use water or leave-in conditioner to make it easier to work with. In this tutorial, you will learn how to waterfall braid your own hair, using tools and products like hair tea.

To create a cascading waterfall braid with curls, follow the step-by-step tutorial, which includes crossing the bottom strand over and into the middle. If you’re going for a half up half down hairstyle, repeat steps 1-9 on the other side of the head. Begin the waterfall braid by crossing the top piece over the middle piece and then the bottom piece over the middle piece. Cross the top piece over the middle piece again, adding in curls.

For a final step, submerge the ends of the hair in hot water. This is the crucial, final step of braiding hair called “dipping”. Hot water setting only works with some synthetic braids because they soften when exposed to heat. Heat water and pour it in a jug, then use a microfiber towel to wrap around your braids and secure it with a hair tie before showering.
