braids
Interlaced hair strands
Braids are lengths of hair or other flexible material woven together by interlacing three or more strands.
The technique creates a rope-like pattern that holds without ties until unraveled.
As a verb, to braid is to form such an interlaced structure: She braids her daughter's hair every morning.
Braids appear in hairstyling across cultures, from cornrows to French braids, and the same weaving principle applies to rope, leather, and decorative trim.
