plaits
Interwoven hair ropes
Plaits are lengths of hair or other material divided into sections and woven together by crossing them over one another.
The word is more common in British English; Americans typically say braids.
To plait is to create such a weave: She plaited her daughter's hair before school.
The word also applies to woven straw, rope, or fabric.
