[McLeandraaa]

@torrinpaige your hair is amazing! How long did it take to grow?! My hair's just a little past my shoulder and I can't stand it! I wanna grow it out! So how long did it take? And any tips?

[SharonElizabeth1960]

[Gingers666pl]

Wow, the bun looks so awesome! Too bad my hair is probably too heavy for that and it would fall apart after 10 minutes :(

[kayOgiggles]

looking great!! how long have you been growing your hair out



[1984stoker]

omg the bun looks really nice!! and your hair is so long! im going to try this on my daughter :)

[CanvasRoses]

OMG thank you! I have not been able to do a rope braid till i watched this!!! :) thanks for being so clear!

[denabluechicken]

it doesn't really look like a rope....the three strand ones are a lot better

[torrinpaige]

@denabluechicken Then feel free to do a three strand.  I like this one because it's easy and I like the way it looks.

[denabluechicken]

@torrinpaige no i like it, it's just not the same look, that's all :), your hair is CRAZY long, looks nice and healthy too

[cardinalsfan94]

How long did it take you to grow out your hair so long and how do you take care of it?

[starsonfire88]

oh my ur hair is beautiful

[sydpop102]

IDK Y BUT I WAS PICTURING A HORSES TAIL WHEN I SAW YOUR HAIR

[everynickisunavailab]

OMG, u look like rapunzel with that hair braid. Thanks for the tutorial :)

[Jesserduhx87x]

[TIFFICKLES]

OMG!! I love your hair its soo long and healthy!!!

[XEBDO]

How long did it to grow your hair that long?

It's gorgeous!

[swanborg]

your hair is one of the most healthy looking I have ever seen !!

[japaneseanimefreak93]

Thank you soo much. My friends and family have been trying to teach me but they never did it right. They either explained like mud and showed me great, or they explained it great but showed me like mud. But thanks to you I can now braid. Now all I need is longer hair.

[AppleCopasetic]

omg thank you so much!! i have always wondered how to do this :)

[ohsnapitbejenna]

That looks so cool!

[LoveBud1765]

Very beautiful! Where do you find your hairsticks?

[focusnooga]

I think the lightbulb just went off in my head. Never tried with a ponytail to start. Just a longhaired dude here looking for a different way to go with the flow. I liked the looks of braids I see guys wearing, but can't do one worth a flip myself. Will see thanks for the pointers.

[focusnooga]

Hmmm, methinks I kinda got it now. Never tried starting with a ponytail. Must practice tomorrow. And btw , a guy here, just looking for something slightly different for work. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

[LOLAisDAbomb]

Your hair is so long!!!!

Ugh, I want my hair that long!!!!

<3

[AnHeC]

I envy you. I have like 1/3 of your amount of hair... So it will never look good. You're grate. I really enjoy watching videos that you make.

[unicorntear303]

i tried the rope braid today. i did get alot of compliments, thank you. mine was in a side pony and i had to do two braids just because my hair is so thick it did not want to stay in one. i was just wondering if there is a good way to keep them tight?

[torrinpaige]

@unicorntear303 There's no way I know of to keep them super tight, unless you take your two rope braids and rope braid them together...that gives you the Hawser...which looks like a four strand box braid without the muss and fuss!

[matthewetta]

I did the rope bun yesterday and I go a lot of compliments on it. thank you so much!

[Katrine1811]

Thank you so much for all your videos. I have waist long hair, and had problems with knowing what to do with it...

[natsasupastar]

Thanks so much! I think i might do this look for prom, since it's comming up. :) Where do you get those hair holders? or big bobby pins?

[tbcervelli]

THANK YOU! love it!

[KatyPerryfan124]

does this work for thin hair??

[cadavernl]

Sure, why not?

[Midnightryder7]

Thanxs that looks easy

[Sevostharte]

Lovely tutorial, thank you so much :)

[thjadewolf]

This worked great for me on the first try! Thanks! I also tried your victorian 'do with the 3 braids, and got a compliment on it within 3 minutes after I left the house.

[novelj]

I was mesmerized by your hair... loved the tutorial

[jamcaaat]

Oh your hair is so beautiful that I cant believe it! So gorgeous, you can be very proud! :)

[mommawebbto2]

i love your hair. my hair is about shoulder length and very thin so it was as nice as yours but it did still work. but your hair makes me jealous. and the bun did work great with the braid so even though the braid wasnt the best the bun helped me pull it off and as a busy mom this is a cute hairstyle that i have time for. thank you

[davidsgirl505]

your hair is gorgeous i love it

[MarSuLe8]

I love your hair!

[fdoeppen]

Beautiful!

Thanks!!

[greenlife7]

Jeezus, you have gorgeous hair.

And you're charismatic and really clear on the instructions.

So...you pretty much win, I'm totally trying this.

[sortanuts]

love ur videos!

[aireeuh]

yay! I did it! (sorta) couldn't really get it to stay tight but I've got the idea now. thank you!

[Dee21Fee15]

You're an expert!!!

[waterlily716]

sad. i miss my long hair... :(

[mypinkdollprincess]

Wow! this is worked great for me! thanks for sharing!

[LotusDragon09]

Wow, this is pretty easy. I got it on the second try. I just wish my hair was thicker. After doing this braid type, the thickness of the braided ponytail is like half of what her's is.

[Harichan17]

You have enlightened me. I grovel at your feet. Ok, maybe not to that extent, but it looks awesome and easy! :D Thanks.

[gbhcr007]

Gorgeous.

[aintmimi]

I did my mom's hair like that a couple of weeks ago for a wedding and she couldn't believe how great it looked and how little time it took me.

I couldn't imagine trying to do a three strand rope braid. I forget which way I'm twisting often enough with just two.

Your tutorials rock!! Thanks for sharing your hair wisdom.

[twilightkat]

Thank you for the videos!! My hairs still a little short for this one, but I figured it out. ^.^

[shmoofoobean44]

hahaha oh that's so easy! yay!

[MagpieRat]

Wonderful, thank you! Rope braids have confused me for years!

Also glad to see I'm not the only person who uses her mouth as a spare clip! LOL!

[matthewetta]

what am i doing wrong? i tried to do this but i can't my hair just looks like i twisted all of it around...help!

[matthewetta]

where do you get your hair sticks?

[rwinksters]

A great place to get hair sticks is Claire's.

[lytlobitz]

ok some of us need a video for morons who still can't do this braid been trying for a little while i just don't know what I am doing wrong your video is so clear but I am just not getting it maybe my hair is just to shor I don't know!!!! But love the videos I guess I'll keep practicing!!!!

[Cherryjello01]

Do you you think it's possible to french a rope braid?

ps. I love all of your videos. My dormmate and I watch them whenever new ones come out : )

[MariiianiiiTha]

yOur haiir is sO lOng !!! it's beauTiiful!!!

[empressnia]

Beautiful! I'll try it when my hair gets a little longer

[VegHindu101]

This is an awesome idea! I think I've found the hairstyle I'm going to try for tomorrow! What do you do with your hair to keep it so smooth? I don't put any products in mine other, than shampoo/conditioner of course. When you made this style, was it the same day you washed your hair?

[tyedye67]

Once you get the 2 strand rope braid down, try sectioning your hair into 3 sections and apply the same method. :)

[moutonlove]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to do that kind of braid since I was a child! Some even told me it was impossible to make! Thanks to your video I learnt the impossible in 4 minutes!!! :D

[marianchka]

you are the best, i've been searching how to do some of these, and i did find how to do it, but it was to hard for me to understand, you made it easier for me...thanks!

[tealatequila24]

your hair is so pretty, looks like a real rope haha!

[sulleyvester]

your hair is so pretty!

i'm so gonna try that!

[myscongeniality]

lol when you were doing the pony tail I thought there is no way yo uare going to be able to loop your hair through that cord FOUR times, lol but WOW you did it, I am impressed! Your tutorial was absolutley wondeful and wow such pretty hair!

[grekanda29]

Okay, I'm back again.... And I'm sooo glad I watched this vid, because my first attempt at braiding my daughter's hair actually WORKED and she wore it to school today! Thanks again for the tutoral!!!!

[grekanda29]

My daughter is 7 and can sit on her hair. I'm always trying to find new ways of fixing it. This is an AWESOME idea! I'm going to try practicing on her hair tonight and, if I can get it right, I'll fix it that way for school tomorrow. Thanks!

[mudnessa]

AMAZINGLY easy and looks great. thank you so much for this and your other tutorials. i have so many styles for my hair now.

[andrewisdad]

When doing a rope braid it's important that the two strands are twisted in the same direction and then wrapped around each other in the OPPOSITE direction. If you're not sure, go to the hardware store and take a look at an actual piece of of rope.

If you were feeling brave, you can then make a hawser braid by rope-braiding some rope braids. Sadly I don't quote have enough hair for that yet.

[lanawannabe87]

I tried it, and it just unraveled. my hair is just about mid-back length. what am i doing wrong?

[StarsintheRaven]

after you twist the two sections one way, you have to make sure to twist them together in the opposite direction you twisted the original two sections, otherwise it just unravels.

[shafroyalty]

omg your hair is like totally shiny&soft&healthy. what kind of conditioner do u use? tell me, haha (:

xoxo

[ahanhbarbie]

i love your hair !!!

[ohmaynnxtina]

your hair is so beautiful and healthy looking!!

[redfootwalking]

Thanks for the tutorial. I tried it and it held very nicely...all day!

[xlive4lax12]

your hair is so long!! haha how long did it take to grow it out? it looks so pretty. im jealous!!

[mrsrice333]

This was a great tutorial, you're a natural teacher. How long is your hair now?

[c140075]

wow, gorgeous hair. and this is so simple! way easier than a boring old french braid.

[laurencebarchichat]

wooow wooow woow ur hair is sooo beautiful!!!! im so jealous :P i have almost ur lenght but no where near the thickness... the only thing u cant change :(

[ladyknight43]

your hair is so beautiful and so healthy! how do you keep it that way? I'm trying to grow my hair long like yours but I often find myself cutting my tips and my i lose alot of hair. What would you recommend?

[andalusianhorses]

Beautiful hair and your style is so elegant. I have baby fine thin hair that is just past my shoulder. Thanks!

[SilkyBlonde08]

hi thanks for the tutorial i have a book that explains rope braiding with 3 strands very hard to do...i must be a dummy cos your technique is sooo easy i could do it lol :D

[torrinpaige]

You are no dummy!! I can't do the three strand rope braid either...I simply do not have enough hands.  I loved the way it looked and just figured out how to do it with two...so much simpler. I'm glad to hear that you had success with this braid! Yay!

[scarletswalking]

Thank you so much! I came here from Long hair, and you really taught me two new things today! I love your tutorials because you are very good at explaining everything clearly! I LOVE IT!

[torrinpaige]

I'm glad to help! I'm also glad to know that all my babbling pays off. I tend to ramble, but that's what happens when you talk to yourself. :o)

[sjs7heaven]

You did a great job explaining this! My hair is only 20 inches long, and a bit thinner. I aways do this with my hair slightly damp( just to catch lil fly aways I might have)actually I look a bit like you to, if was cool to see you. We could be sisters. I would be the older sister, ok quite a bit older sister.LOL TTLL

[Synnovea]

oh my god thank you.

[torrinpaige]

You are more than welcome. So glad I could help.

[RawrWhxre]

Wow.

I envy you!

You've got really a really, long, healthy and silky hair :(

&& I might try this some time :P

xxx.

[ruffneck1008]
