Braiders are people who braid, especially those who professionally braid hair.
The term appears most often in the context of African hair braiding, where braiders create intricate styles like cornrows, box braids, and twists: She's been going to the same braiders for years.
Braiders may also refer to machines that interweave strands in textile or rope manufacturing.
