In case you missed my fishtail bun tutorial (+ fairytail) from earlier in the week, you can find it here.
And here's the next tutorial for y'all - the rope bun!
Here's the deal. This is really easy. The bun shown is a five-strand rope, which is a little more advanced. I suggest starting with three strands as a trial run and then going for four or five strands once you "get" it. If you start with five strands it may be hard to grasp (literally).
One more thing - "left" and "right" below is oriented based on you doing it yourself and looking up (or in front of you) at your hair. So "right" is towards your right hand and "left" is towards your left hand...TWIST LEFT, WRAP RIGHT.
- If you twist and wrap in the same direction, then your finished rope "braid" won't look any different than a regular bun. That's a pretty good indicator you're wrapping in the wrong direction.
- The more strands you use, the more intricate the rope.
- You can also wear the rope "braid" by itself just as a pony. It won't unravel (magic!).
