Rope Twist Bun – First Attempt

I needed a quick style for Lil’ Naturelle last night so I attempted rope flat twist for the first time. Rope twist are a little different from regular two strand twist because you actually twist the hair with you fingers (like a finger coil) before you start the flat twists…hmm, I may have to do a quick video / picture tutorial. In the meantime, let me know what you think of this hair style. Took me about 15 minutes to complete – I am truly a rope twist amateur.

For this style:

  1. I parted Lil’ Naturelle’s hair in a zig-zag formation
  2. I did two flat rope twist; each half way down her head – using her ears as a marker
  3. I used a pony holder to secure the hair
  4. I loosely braided the remaining hair
  5. I pinned the two braids together to form a bun
  6. I used a colored head band and flower as a hair accessory!

    I love these, but I have a hard time with them. I think you’ve influenced me to give it another go! I love Lil Naturelle’s lil updo :)

    You have to try it! I’ve been avoiding it – because my fingers don’t seem to have the right coordination for the rope twists…but it came out half decent!

    Very cute, I have no idea how to attempt these but the accessory is perfect as well.
