    Default Hair dictionary please?

    What do you call those sections or “layers” where you take more hair into a French brad?
    As in for example, this braid where I took more hair in in 3 “layers”

    What do you call that? Sections? Layers?

    I can't be of much help as far as hair terminology, but wow, that's a beautiful, thick braid!

    Sections is what I'd say.

    Now, what do I need to do to get my braid to look like yours?!?! It must be as thick as your wrist!

    I call the three existing ones "sections" and the ones I add I call "new strands" and then they are part of the section.

    Your braid is incredibly beautiful. Your lack of taper astounds me.

    I'm just awestruck by your braid. Not only is it one of the thickest I've ever seen but its complete lack of taper is amazing to behold!
