No? I hear about it all the time from readers that French braiding is hard. Or that your fingers don't allow it. So I am hoping this gives you some ease in making a cascading look that is similar to a french braid but about 70% easier.

You are going to love the simplicity here.

Because this is a loose hair do I add jell first to keep fly aways under control. Not much. Just enough to keep it in control.

Next you need to equal sizes of hair starting at the temples of the head.

Smooth the rest back and then tie a knot. If you can tie your shoes you can do this do.

Part out and combine hair to both sides of the hair here.

Combine.

Spray down the hair with hair spray to control fry aways at this point as well.

Tie it in a knot and then do it again over and over again down to the bottom of the hair.

See all the hair that is still down. Yup- there is a lot, but that is okay.

You just pull it all into a pony tail.

I wasn't feeling using a bow today, so we took out a piece of hair and wrapped it around the rubber band to hide it and give it a different look. Use a bobby pin to secure it under the hair.

Like so...

And there you have it. And easy knot braid that doesn't require twisting or manipulating your hands to do things they won't do.
