Plaits

The style is done by braiding thin to medium plaits in rows along the sides of the head while leaving a central twist at the crown.

The buzz cut on the androgyne, the textured wig on the femme doing a power on the dance floor, the variety of colored and textured plaits, braids, box cuts, high-top fades and Afros that fill up the space — they speak to a decidedly local phenomenon.

By the late 19th century, vast quantities of plaits were being imported to England from Canton in China, and in the United States most of the straw plait was imported.

It is traditionally hung; softneck varieties are often braided in strands called plaits or grappes.

Some traditional shamanic headgear had animal hides, plaits, and feathers, particularly in East Sapmi.

Stalls typically offer onion plaits, themed arts and crafts and numerous onion-based foods, including onion cakes, onion soups and onion breads.
