[edit] Merge from Plait
Since it affects the plait article more, I suggest the main discussion take place in Talk:Plait. However I wouldn't want to stifle any discussion that might make more sense here regarding the proposed merge... Dfred 22:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requests
Well, that's all I can think of to put for braid. Perhaps someone has some history on braiding, such as where it began, different styles of hair braids, etc. Darkwind 18:17 20 May 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Prison Braids
I was wondering what the deal with getting your hair braided in prison or by stereotypically "tough" guys was. I've heard/seen the joke on several TV shows and am completely in the dark. --71.251.66.72 11:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC) While I have not been in Prison, the concept may be rooted in combat principles. When you are in a fight, the longer the hair the more disadvantage you have if your opponent is able to grab and pull it when grappling with you, thus, if you have braided hair, it would be a statement that you are always ready for a fight as your hair is "tied" down and you're ready to rumble.
