Does anyone know how to do a rope twist in someones hair?

Question

Rope Twist when doing locks in your hair.

Answer 1

The twist I thought you were talking about can be seen in the picture (the twists are above the ponytail):

These much easier to show than to explain, but I'll try.

Get two strands of hair and twist them seperately in the same direction. Twist them so much that the strands almost can't be held straight anymore.

Keep the twisted strands taut and then twirl the two strands in the opposite direction (without untwisting the individual strands).

Then tie with rubber band or elastic band.

I may be thinking of a different style than you are asking for. If you could post a link to a picture, it could help you get a better answer.

If you're talking about palm rolling (as mentioned below), here is a website with instructions and video:

Answer 2

Are you talking about 'palm rolling'? There is a process for that. I have locks in my hair right now and I love them.

Ummmm. . . . . . this is hard to explain but you would take hair that has already formed a lock and roll in between the palms of your hands and it will tighten up.

There is a two strand twist. Let the hair be wet at the time. Take a small section of hair, seperate it into two pieces. Just twirl the two pieces into each other to form one section. Twirl the hair tight to the bottom and depending on the courseness of the hair it may stay together by itself or you may need to clip it at the ends and perhaps at the beginning (scalp) and sit under the dryer while the hair is wet and let dry. Remove the clips after hair is dry and it will stay in the twist style.

I have my hair wet with water only, use hair clips to hold it and sit under the dryer and let it dry. If you are just starting out, I would suggest you go to a loctician to get the locks started for you or whomever.

There are certain shampoos and conditioners as well as a ACV rinse involved. This is unique process that takes time, patience and a positive attitude.
