If your new to braiding, try your hand at this stunning french rope braid

Braiding can be tricky, especially if you're new to the hairstyle. Between the burning arm muscles and difficulty seeing the back of your head, may a long-haired beauty have skipped the plaited look entirely. But, if you are determined to try your hand at braiding, opting for a simpler french rope braid is a safe option.
Check out these sweet french rope braids for some inspiration:
1. Easy updo with french rope braid
If keeping track of three strands of hair, plus whatever you pull into your braid is a bit too much, this is the perfect way to get started. The best part is that this style ends in a bun at the end, so you don't have to worry about perfecting the end of your twist.

2. French rope twist into braid
This is similar to the first style, but the style is left straight down. I love the tip to twist the twists (near the end) to keep them from unraveling and going too loose once the hair tie is in place.
3. Twisted rope over the head
This style is simple and classy. If you want the bohemian look without tiring out your fingers, try this braid. This big trick: make sure you part your hair wide at the top to have more hair as you work your way across.
4. Halo rope braid
Twist and twist is the basic concept behind this simple style. A halo braid can be tricky because you're working your way over your head, but this method is much simpler. She uses extensions in this video, but you don't have to use them.
5. Rope braid ponytail (h/t The Freckled Fox)
Ponytails are a favorite because they're comfortable and functional. But, they can be a little boring. Try dressing up your ponytail with a rope braid finish. This look is modern and pretty, and you can pull it off even on a busy morning.
6. Side rope braid (h/t Hairstyles)
Rope braids can even be edgy. Braiding up one side of the head and then adding it into a sleek ponytail creates a fun visual and keeps the look functional. Part it with some extra hair in the middle to add volume at the top.
