WATERFALL BRAID PONYTAIL TUTORIAL

1. Start by brushing through your locks with your ZALA Tangle Teaser to ensure there are no knots or tangles. It’s also good to give your ponytail extensions a quick brush prior to application! We love using our ZALA tangle teaser when detangling as it gently removes knots and is safe to use on both your extensions and natural hair.
2. Next, pull all your hair up into a high ponytail and secure with a hair elastic. Use hairspray and your hairbrush to smooth down any bumps and fly aways.
3. For added length and thickness, apply your ZALA ponytail! Ponytails extensions are our fav trick for sleek high ponytails as they completely transform the look! For this braided look, clip into the base of your pony and braid the section of hair before wrapping around and pinning in place. This gives a little extra touch to the look!
4. Once your ponytail is secure and looking on point, it’s time to start braiding. Begin with three equal parts and cross both outer pieces into the middle like a normal braid. Then, before taking the next piece into the middle, include some extra hair from that side like you would a french braid. Repeat on the other side, each time taking a new section of hair from either side and bringing it over into the middle. This creates the stunning waterfall effect!
5. Repeat this technique for as long as you desire the braid, then secure in place with an elastic. To accentuate the waterfall effect, you can gently pull on the outer sections using your fingers. But be careful as this style looks best when it’s extra sleek and perfect!
