French braids
Interlaced scalp plaits
French braids are a hairstyle where three sections of hair are woven together from the crown of the head downward, with additional hair gathered into each section as the braid progresses.
The technique creates a braid that lies flat against the scalp rather than hanging loose: She wore her hair in French braids for the soccer game.
A single French braid runs down the center; two French braids flank either side of a center part.
