A French braid, or French plait, is a popular hairstyle. Unlike a regular three-strand braid, a French braid starts with small sections of hair at the crown of a person's head, and intermittently, more hair is added to each section as the braid progresses down the head. The classic French braid is a single braid at the back of one's head. The French Braid gets its name because it was invented by a French hairstylist.
Variations
Variations on this hairstyle include:
- Side braids
- Twists
- Cornrows
- French braided pig tails
- Fishtail braid
- Dutch braid - An inverted French braid (also called a Dutch braid) is created when the hair sections are crossed under each other, instead of over. It results in the look of a braid standing up from the rest of the hair, instead of being under the hair.
