braiding

Braiding is a method of weaving three or more strands of material—such as hair, fabric, or cords—by crossing them over each other in a specific pattern. Starting with divided strands, you sequentially cross outer strands over the middle, creating a structured, intertwined pattern. This technique results in a strong, decorative, and flexible design used for functional purposes like securing items or creating aesthetic styles. Braiding is versatile and has been practiced across cultures for centuries, serving both practical and ornamental roles in everyday life.
