The Oktoberfest will soon be just around the corner, and no costume is completely without a suitable hairstyle. A charming braided hairstyle is just the right thing to give your dirndl the perfect finishing touch. This guide is aimed at women with medium -long hair, but is also suitable for women and girls with thinner hair. The half -open hairstyle is not only easy to make yourself, but also ideal for everyone who is looking for a quick and stylish look. Let's start together!
Step 1: Preparation of the hair
Before you start lichen, it is important that your hair is well prepared. Slightly corrugated hair gives the hairstyle more volume and texture. If your hair is naturally smooth, you can create light waves with a curling iron or a smooth iron. Then fix the waves with a light hairspray so that the hairstyle lasts all day. A tip: A little dry shampoo on the approaches ensures additional volume and better grip.
Step 2: Braids of the first waterfall braid
If you have a pony, just leave it open. Start directly behind the pony by dividing a small hair area and dividing it into three equally large strands.
If you don't have a pony, instead you can start with a French braid along the face. More on this at the end of the article!
Now it goes to thatWaterfall, a quick braided hairstyle that looks elegant and is easy to implement at the same time:
- Prepare three strands:Share a small area of hair into three even strands, similar to a classic French braid.
- Place the top strand over the middle one:Take the strands closest to the head crown and put them over the medium strand.
- Leap the lowest strand over the middle one:Repeat this step with the lower strand by laying it over the new medium strand.
- Let the strand fall:Just drop the lowest strand-this creates the characteristic “waterfall” effect.
- Record new hair part:Take a new hair section directly behind the fallen strand and braid it in the braid by laying it over the medium strand.
Repeat this pattern:Leave the top strand over the middle, the bottom and take a new game.
Go on until you have reached the desired area on the back of the head. There you can temporarily fix the braid with a hair needle. A tip: To give the braid more volume, you can easily loosen it after lichen.

Step 3: Braid the second page
Now it's the turn of the other side. Take an equally large area of hair from the opposite side of the head and start braiding it backwards - similar to the first page. Don't worry, the two sides do not have to be exactly symmetrical, which makes this hairstyle particularly beginners -friendly. However, make sure that the strands remain evenly thick to achieve a harmonious overall picture.
Step 4: Together and fix
As soon as both braids are finished, they bring them together on the back of the head, where you have placed the first hairpin. Remove the hairpin and attach the braids with a small hair tie that resembles your hair color.A little trick:Now take the hair tie and wrap it through the hole inwards to hide it in your hair. In this way, the hair tie becomes invisible and the hairstyle receives an elegant and professional finish.
Step 5: admire the finished hairstyle
Now you have a beautiful braided hairstyle that is perfect for the Oktoberfest! The two waterfall braids that were brought together at the back of the head give them a romantic and at the same time sophisticated look. The gentle waves in open hair complete the overall picture and ensure a festive charisma.
Variation for long hair and without pony
For women with long hair without a pony there is another beautiful variation of this hairstyle:braid a French braid along the face. Start the crown and braid the braid to the side. As soon as you have reached the ear, start with the waterfall braid. This technique frames your face elegantly and ensures a harmonious transition to the rest of the hair. The result is a romantic and playful hairstyle.
This simple braided hairstyle is not only ideal for the Oktoberfest, but also for other festive occasions. She lasts all day and fits wonderfully with every dirndl. Try it out - you will be amazed at how quickly and easily you can make this hairstyle yourself!
