== Variations == [[File:Combo Braid.JPG|thumb|upright|Picture of various braids combined to look like a French and Dutch braid.]] [[File:French Braiding.webm|thumb|Video demonstrating Dutch braided corn rows]] Variations on this [[hairstyle]] include: * '''Dutch braid''': A Dutch braid (also called an '''inverted French braid or reverse French braid''' or pineapple braid) is created when the three hair sections are crossed under each other, instead of over. It results in the look of a braid standing up from the rest of the hair, instead of being under the hair. * '''Fishtail braid''': A fishtail braid resembles a French braid in its smoothly woven appearance, but divides the hair into only two sections instead of three. A small piece of each section is passed over to the other section over and over to form the braid. This style was called the "Grecian braid" in the 19th century.<ref name="Ward and Lock 1882">{{cite journal |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VKECAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA539 | title=Chapter LX.-- The Hair.
