Waterfall Twist Ribbon Braid - Ponytail Hairstyles

The Waterfall Twist Braid, Using Ribbon

Our hairstyle tutorial this week shows how to create a cute and easy waterfall twist braid (with ribbon) and 3 quick ponytail hairstyles using the braid.

If you have made a waterfall twist braid before, this ribbon braid is created exactly the same way. But instead of using 2 strands of hair, 2 strands of ribbon are used in their place. To see the original waterfall twist braid click here:  Waterfall Twist Braid Tutorial

In our first ponytail style (shown above) we have taken a single waterfall ribbon braid across the ponytail diagonally, ending in a bow.

Our second ponytail idea features 2 stacked braids running diagonally across the ponytail. This is probably my favorite of the 3 variations!  Very simple, but different and cute.

Our 3rd ponytail (shown below) was made using a "carousel braiding technique." Meaning the braids are actually wrapping around the ponytail.  You can watch it here carousel braid if you are needing help with this variation.

These quick ponytail ideas would be great for cheerleading, sports, school, gymnastics, dance, holidays, etc. Depending on the occasion or holiday, you could choose any color combinations you would like: Green and Red for Christmas, Red, White, and Blue for the 4th Of July, your school (or team) colors for cheerleading or sports, green or rainbow colors for St. Patrick's Day, etc.
