I haven't seen any of these. I'd like to think I invented them! Here are my directions. And I'm assuming that someone knows how to make a simple rope braid before attempting this one.

Step one detangled hair. This is a section of a Hannah Montanna wig. It shows up better in pictures than my hair.

Split the hair to be braided into two equal sections, and make a rope braid with one of the sections. Use an elastic to keep the braid in place.

Now devide the second section of hair in two.

Take the piece closest to the braid and twist it in the same direction as the other two strands already in the braid.

Here's the secret! Take the twisted section and wind it along the braid. It should fit into a groove in the braid and be traced all the way down.

Continue twisting the strand along the same groove all the way down.

When you get to the bottom of the braid take off the elastic holding the first part together and re-tie it to hold the three strands together.

The last section should be twisted in the same direction as the first three. Then placed in a groove of the braid and wound all the way down to the bottom.

yay We're done!
I tried to be clear, so hopefully the pictures in addition to my feeble attempts to explain got my message across.
