Braids or plaits? Let's translate...

[brickworld13]

I hear plaits more often in reference to horse mane and tail styling as opposed to humans. Though it's the same technique.

Braids. I use a lot of English terms and spellings interchangeable because I'm American but grew up with an Aunt who spent time in the UK and consumed a lot of their media and such. But plait is just something I can;t get behind, They're braids to me and always will be!

I grew up using the word plait, but now when I'm on LHC I use the word braid. So depending on who I am talking to I use both.

"Braid" as I learned that English word in the US. I do understand "plait" I just don't use it myself normally.

I call them braids but usually Plethan is my usual word which is welsh for braids...

[diddiedaisy]

I’m in the uk and until I joined here used plait. Now I say braid as it’s more common on here. My sons girlfriend who is 16 says plaits.

I try to remember to use braids on this forum, but it's for convention not necessity since we all understand they mean the same.

Plethan sounds amazing! Welsh is one of my favourite languages it sounds magical to me

I'm mexican and how we say braids-plats in Spanish is Trenza-Trenzas

I learned the american way too so I use braids, but plats to me sound kinda posh ha ha ha!!!!

It reminds me of the word chignon which to me is just a fancy word to refer a kinda elavorate low mid bun! XD
