Fast Everyday Style
A rope twist braid is a quick style made by twisting two sections in one direction and then wrapping them around each other in the opposite direction. The result is sleek, simple, and easy to wear.
What You’ll Need
- Brush or comb
- Hair tie
- Optional styling cream or smoothing serum
- Bobby pins if styling into an updo
- Mirror
Smooth the Hair
- Brush the hair smooth.
- Gather the hair into a low ponytail or side section if preferred.
- Apply a small amount of product for shine and control if needed.
How to Create a Rope Twist
- Divide the hair into two equal sections.
- Twist both sections in the same direction.
- Wrap the two twisted sections around each other in the opposite direction.
- Continue twisting and wrapping until you reach the ends.

Remember the Direction Rule
