Awesome - I am going to try this next week! I love rope braids, and they really do work well with fine straight hair, I have found.
Slow day: Didn't have much to do, so spent three hours on LHC. Busy day: Managed to work in three hours of LHC. Bad day: Barely squeezed in three hours on LHC.

Re: Variation on 4-strand Rope Braid
That is just beautiful! I don't have long enough hair to do it yet, but I can assure you my 8-year-old will be sporting this "friendship ponytail" (LOVE that!) this week. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. Your hair is lovely.

Thank you very much, most recent posters!
Since starting this thread I've learned from eresh that this is called a Hawser Braid. Also, I believe that Torrin Paige has a video for this style among her great collection on You Tube.
