Pretty Lady Hair Braiding - Woman braiding her hair - Petra Schlesinger Long Hair portraits.

Petra Schlesinger (born 1966), a German woman from Hamburg and winner of a Rapunzel contest 1998, which took place at the old castle of Penzlin (North Eastern Germany). She won the first prize easily with her incredibly thick knee-length braid of 1,34 meters. After that event she grew her hair to more than 1,50 meters and began to feature herself as “Hair goddess” on her own website.

A braid (also called plait) is a complex structure or pattern formed by intertwining three or more strands of flexible material such as textile fibres, wire, or hair. Compared to the process of weaving a wide sheet of cloth from two separate, perpendicular groups of strands (warp and weft), a braid is usually long and narrow, with each component strand functionally equivalent in zigzagging forward through the overlapping mass of the others.
The simplest possible braid is a flat, solid, three-strand structure in some countries/cases called a plait. More complex braids can be constructed from an arbitrary (but usually odd) number of strands to create a wider range of structures: wider ribbon-like bands, hollow or solid cylindrical cords, or broad mats which resemble a rudimentary perpendicular weave.
Braids are commonly used to make rope, decorative objects, and hairstyles (also see pigtails, French braid). Complex braids have been used to create hanging fibre artworks. Braiding is also used to prepare horses' manes and tails for showing, polo and polocrosse.
