Braids

There are three different techniques to braiding. The original technique is known as the "three- strand braid in which you split a section of your hair into three parts and intertwine the sections of hair together to make what is known today as braiding. The second kind is "fish braiding" in which you take four sections of hair and intertwine them together to create a much larger creative braid. Lastly we have the "under braid" in which you take a section of the hair split it into three parts and intertwine them under each other which creates for you a strong rooted braid! Although many styles have been created today, all of them have originated from these three techniques. Think about it... Goddess braids, box braids, zillions, plaits (another word for braiding) all are or can be made up of three or more strands of hair being woven together.
