French braided

Intricately plaited hair

French braided describes hair that has been woven in a French braid—a style where three sections are plaited together while gradually incorporating more hair from the sides as the braid progresses down the head.

The technique keeps hair close to the scalp and creates a raised, textured pattern: She wore her hair French braided for the soccer game.
