Braid hair is a hairstyle that involves intertwining multiple strands of hair together to create a unique pattern.

Pigtails are two braids that are usually worn on either side of the head. Cornrows are a type of braid that is created by weaving the hair close to the scalp in a continuous pattern. A MANE is a braid that is usually worn down the back of the head. Lastly, a TRESS is a single braid that is usually worn down the back of the head.
