There are descriptions of making 3 types of braids. The model for the demos seems to be a boy.
Thanx for the link! I just got a 4 slotted plastic French Hair braider by Scunci that helps keep the hair divided into 3 sections. I'm not sure how helpful it'll be cuz u need another hand to hold it...I would think-maybe I'll attach a string to it and hang it on my neck while braiding. It was only $3 and I got some small hair clips to clip the braid while I try to end it with a hair band. The link should help guide me.

He is. At the end of the rope braid page there is a note signed by 'his mom' (who is talking a load of rubbish!)
It's a guy (not a boy) Watch the video clip and you'll see at the end.
