braiding techniques

Interlacing strand patterns

Braiding techniques are methods for interweaving three or more strands of material—hair, rope, dough, leather—into a single structure.

Basic three-strand plaits cross outer strands alternately over the center.

More complex techniques like French braiding incorporate additional material as you go, while fishtail braids use finer sections for intricate patterns.
