braiding hair
Intertwining three sections
Braiding hair is the practice of interweaving three or more strands of hair into a plait.
The technique ranges from simple three-strand braids to elaborate styles like cornrows, box braids, and French braids.
Braiding can be protective styling, cultural expression, or purely decorative: She spent hours braiding hair for the wedding party.
