Rose Bun
This is a rope braid that is coiled into a cinnamon bun and has a very distinct appearance.
Rope Braid
Gather hair in a ponytail (to keep this braid centered it may be easiest to secure with an elastic before braiding) and divide in two sections. Twist each section independently in the same direction and then twist them together in the opposite direction of the independent twist. This is a traditional rope making method. The opposing twists keep the two strands together while maintaining visually distinct twisted strands. If the two sections are not distinguishable then there is an error in the twisting, likely the two sections are being twisted together in the same direction of the independent twists.
Rose Bun
Start twisting the rope braid at the base in the same direction as the final twist (otherwise you will untwist the braid). As it twists, start wrapping it around the base in a circle shape. Pin loops down as you go with pins. Can be held by other methods such as claws, hairsticks and forks.
