It's been nearly a year since I posted my mini rope braids in my album and I got many compliments on it... Thank you all so much! I figured I'd do it again since I gained length so here it is! <I can't seem to quietly upload them to my album so I'll just post them on the forum> :D

I then wanted to try to bun it and here are my results...

I actually started to wrap it without the stick and tucked a few braids and then put the stick in and tucked some more. I'm pretty surprised it held and is still going strong!

Thank you all so much!

I like your rope braids, but LOVE them in a bun with a hair stick!
Beautiful!

AMAZING! Your hair is so beautiful and the rope braids really show off your hair. How did you anchor them at the top of each braid? And at the bottom? LOVE that bun - I'm barely past APL - can't wait until I get long enough to create a fabulous bun like that! WOW! Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Lisa. :)

I started with wet, ordinary ponytail, not too low or too high. I had used EVOO on my length and took sections, evoo'ed them and then started rope braiding. I did 6 mini rope braids in all and I tied them off with hair-friendly little bands.

<pic quality is bad sorry :o >

After that, I just wrapped it around the ponytail band, tucked some in, stuck it with a stick and tucked some more. WALAAH! :D

Wow what gorgeous braids! I'm with Lisa B, when I've got more length and fewer layers (and learn how to braid) I want to try that style because it is stunning!

Awesome!! The bun looks so complex, it's hard to believe it was that easy. I'm still trying to master the art of rope braiding my own hair. Any tips?

God bless,
