These little rope braids are a fun way to add a little style with your own hair, creating a sort-of headband of sorts. Your hair doesn’t need to be extremely long, but you do need some length to cover the top of your head with. If you have layers, you could instead create a tiny French Braid where the hair is shorter and closer to your head, if that makes sense. But it’s a fun and cute braided hair style that’s just a little different.
I originally wore this style last Summer with two slightly larger braids
Watch and Enjoy…
* Notes: Instead of one large bun, create two or three little buns at base of your head OR swap the bun for a clean pony tail. If you leave a pony tail, you can also create a few skinny braids within it so it seems as though your braids are going all the way through.
Wear it Up…
Wear it Down…
* Just bobby pin them in place or use a pretty barrette

lol.
okay so last night i decided i wanted to wear this hairstyle for my day off, etc etc. loved it yadda yadda. i wake up (about an hour ago 6:15amish) and started watching your tutorial while workin’ it out, braiding and such. i got to the ends, was putting my braids back to make my bun.. then realized after 35 or so minutes of work… i have FAT, CHUNKY bangs right smack on my sidehead (forehead but on the side)… ya no ethereal, beautiful hair for me. it was chunky bowl cut braids in a bun look. Ya, FUCK.
however, i did a rendition that seems to suit. i’ll try and snap a photo of it today to blog about my “lovemagean…” inspiration 🙂

Your tutorials make me wish I had long hair. More specifically, your hair 🙂 Mine is fine and difficult and never looks good without a lot of work. If I can ever let it get past my shoulders without cutting it off in frustration, I will be trying all your hair-tos for sure.
K.Line
You really have the most gorgeous hair ever.
sara
loved the chipmunk effect. i have had a lot of braid inspiration from your hair tutorials, and have tried them myself–thank you for the ideas! so creative!
Charlie and Kathryn

I’m going to try this even though mine is shorter 😀
Nice tutorial

I ADORE your hair tutorials! My hair isn’t nearly as long as yours, but you teach in a way that makes it easy for me to replicate your styles on my hair. Beautiful photos!!

Love love love this hairstyle! You pull it off so effortlessly.I tried it yesterday and it turned out super cute, I even got compliments on it! I’m always looking for new things to do with my hair and when you post your hair tutorials they are always worth trying.

Ugh could your hair be more gorgeous?? I wish I could do this stuff- my hair is so thin, if I try to get braids that thick I wouldn’t have hair left over. It’s such a romantic, fun look. I still love your tutorials even though they make me jealous of your hair!!
Helena from BrooklynBlonde
wow! i’m so excited to try this!

I did this awhile ago to my daughters hair and now she looks absolutely adorable, and the neigbhors thought so too. Thank you for this tutorial.
Terri
Very beautiful, makes me wish I had long hair.
Sarah Jones
Very pretty and simple! I love it!! It gives me something else to do with my hair 🙂 Thank you!

Wow! I really reccomend you use spin pins made by goody. They are little pins that you spin into your bun and will keep your bun in all day without all the bobby pins. Just a tip to help you out!
Nicijess
Gorgeous hairstyles and I have to say, whoever is doing your photographs, you aren’t paying them enough lol. Lovely photographs I am really impressed!
Will be posting a link to infopirate and other places for you ok?

I wore this style last night (the down-do) and I got complimented on it like crazy! I have a question though…and it’s probably really dumb but I still have to ask: those clear hair pin type things that you used for the bun…what are those called?
Anonymous
great style, although I was a tad disappointed because the name mislead me, those are mini english braids, not rope braids.

I tried this hairstyle yesterday, and received buckets of compliments. Thanks Maegan!
