This is another braid that works best on a ponytail, preferably long and one length. You may want to start with damp hair.

Here's what a Rope Braid looks like.

Rope Braid example

1. Separate the ponytail into 3 strands. Hold 2 strands in the left hand and 1 in the right hand.

2. Wind the strand in your right hand around your index finger to the right. Then switch hands so that all 3 strands are in your right hand, separated with your fingers. Hold onto wound strand, so it does not unravel.
