Mastering The French Rope Braid Step by Step Guide
Time requirement: 15-20 minutes

Prep your hair:
Brush your hair through so there are no tangles – If you have really fine hair or healthy hair that is really slippery, then try out a texturizing powder to add some grip to the hair.
Step 1: Take a small section of hair at the front of your head and split the hair into 2 equal sections
Step 2: Twist both sections clockwise so the hair gets twisted
Step 3: Cross the lower strand over the upper strand so they switch places
Step 4: Pick up some new hair on the lower side
Step 5: Twist the new hair and the lower strand together
Step 6: Pick up some new hair on the upper side
Step 7: Twist the new hair and the upper strand together
Step 8: Cross the lower strand over the upper strand so they switch places
Step 9: Repeat steps 4-8 until there is no more hair to add in
Step 10: Braid the rest of the hair like a basic rope braid (steps 1-3) and then you are done!
