braid
Interwoven strand pattern
A braid is a length of hair or cord formed by weaving three or more strands over and under one another: She wore her hair in a long braid down her back.
The verb means to create such a pattern: My mother used to braid my hair every morning.
Braid also refers to decorative woven trim on uniforms or upholstery.
