Versatile, EASY, and gorgeous- you need to add this rope braid for your repertoire!

I have confessed before that I had no idea how to french braid before I went to cosmetology school. And while I am now a braiding ninja with other people’s hair, my hands still tend to get confused on my own head.

This rope braid is the perfect solution for those of us who are all thumbs when it comes to braiding our own hair.

There are only two strands to keep track of! You just take two sections, add hair to the front one, and twist it over the back. And repeat. And repeat until you’re done.

You can simply pin the braid back to one side…

Braid on both sides and twist them together in the back…

.

Or keep going all the way down for the beautiful and romantic side braid.
