"Malgré leur nom, ces tresses ne sont pas originaires de France. En fait, elles ne sont pas du tout françaises. Ce style est originaire d'Afrique du Nord, il y a près de 6 000 ans ! Les premières traces de ce style ont été découvertes dans le cadre de l'art rupestre dans la région de l'Afrique du Nord.

Despite the name, these braids didn’t originate from France. In fact, they are not French at all. This style originated from Northern Africa almost 6,000 years ago! The first evidence of this style was discovered as a part of rock art in the Tassili n'Ajjer, a mountain range in Algeria. There are a variety of methods that can be used to create this style, however, most are based
on weaving three strands of hair together.
