Question & Answer
What is the difference between a rope twist and a regular twist?
In a regular two-strand twist, you just wrap the two strands around each other. For a rope twist, you must first twist each individual strand in the same direction, and then wrap them around each other in the opposite direction. This creates a much tighter, more defined look.
