It is time for another super easy hairstyle idea! This style incorporates the French Twist technique and finishes off into a Rope Braid {Twist}. Both techniques are super easy to learn and can be used in any number of hairstyle combinations.
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHFrenchRopeTwist
You can also wrap the rope braid into a bun and secure it for a beautiful-looking undo, and the style would also look great with second-day texture from braids the day before.
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 large hair elastic, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Hey guys., I'm Mindy from Cute Girls, Hairstyles and today we're going to demo a basic French twist.. Now this hairstyle is probably others than a French braid one. Everybody should know how to do because it's just really basic and there's a lot of variations that break off from a French twist.. So it's always good to have in your arsenal of hair, areas. OK.. So we're going to start with just brushed out hair.. It doesn't matter if it's curly or straight. And then we're just going to pick up a piece at the top kind of smooth it down. And we're going to divide it into two sections. Now you're going to cross them over one over the other and again it Doesn'T matter which way you're twisting. If you're left handed and you want to twist the opposite way, that's fine.! What we're going to do is just like you. Would a French braid you're going to pick up a little hair on this side and add it in.. You can use a comb to smooth the pieces down. Now. This is a little different from a French braid., We're going to take and add in a section on this hair at the same time. And then, when we've added hair to both sides we're going to cross them over each other.. Now, if you think about it, if you only added hair to one side of the twist, you'd only be adding hair to that same strand over and over and over, which is why you have to add hair in on both sides before each twist.. So again, we're going to take this., We've now added hair.. Now I'm going to switch my hold and add hair on the side and then take both of those pieces and twist them., And you can see the beginnings of our twist forming as we go along. So again. -- - and you can do these sections as big or small as you want., If you wanted a really twisty version, you could add in really tiny little pieces all the way down, or you can add in more big pieces like I am. And we're going to just Finish it off, keep going. Switch your hand hold twist it again.. Add in hair, switch your hands and that's the last of my hair. So I'm going to go ahead and pick that up. I'm going to brush that just a little bit before I start twisting again. And twist., So you can twist like this all the way down.. Now, if any of you are familiar with a basic twist, they don't stay super tight.. So what's going to happen, I'll show you, if I put an elastic in her hair at this point, is that this -- oops that elastic just broke. I'll grab a different one.. Her hair would untwist to some degree so I'll show you what it looks like when that happens. It's going to look like this and it's going to be looser, which some people like and that's fine, if you do., I prefer it to be a little tighter.. So what I'm going to do when I get to the end right here, where we've picked up all of our hair is twist this one, this piece to the right., Then I'm going to have her hold this for a second. And then I'll. Take this piece and twist it to the right as well -- to my right, -- and then I'm going to twist them together., OK, And what that does is secures that twist in the bottom and you'll see the difference. When I let go of this one that it hardly moves at all and it stays put., So there you go.. This is just your basic French twist., And if you don't already know how to do this one, I would strongly encourage you to learn it because there's so many offshoots from this hairstyle that can be really fun and unique and different, looking and also great summer do Because it's pulled out of your face, you can do it wet or dry --, it doesn't matter, anything will work.. We hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you for our next tutorial.

Joyce Reedy: I tried the twist braid on my daughter and she looked so cute. I usually just do the regular French braid or the pop out French braid but I really like this one because it’s fast and simple and my daughter loves the twist. I also want to say. WOW!! When you turned your daughter around at the end I couldn’t believe my eyes. She is a spitting image of you. All of my 4 children look like me in some way. The nose or hair or dimples but that beautiful girl of yours has it all. That is amazing. I enjoy doing my 7 year old daughters hair so anymore styles please post. Thank you.
