French plaits

Three-strand weaving

French plaits are braids formed by weaving three sections of hair together while progressively adding more hair from each side as you work down the head.

The technique keeps the braid close to the scalp, unlike a regular plait that hangs freely.

Also called French braids: She wore her hair in two French plaits for the match.
