French braid
Three-strand weaving technique
A French braid is a hairstyle in which three sections of hair are woven together from the crown of the head toward the nape, with additional strands incorporated into each section as the braid progresses.
The result lies flat against the scalp rather than hanging loose like an ordinary braid.
She French braided her daughter's hair before soccer practice.
The technique can also be used as a verb: Can you French braid my hair?
