Fonásban

Fonásban is a Hungarian term referring to the act or art of braiding. It is a technique used to intertwine strands of hair, yarn, or other pliable materials to create a single, stronger, and often decorative unit. The most common application of fonásban is in hairstyling, where it can be used to create a variety of looks, from simple three-strand braids to more intricate styles like French braids, Dutch braids, and fishtail braids. Beyond personal adornment, fonásban also has practical applications in crafts and textiles. Historically, braided ropes and cords made from natural fibers were essential for various tasks, including securing items, creating tools, and in the construction of shelters. In modern times, braiding is still employed in the creation of textiles, such as in weaving and knitting, and in the making of decorative items like friendship bracelets or woven baskets. The fundamental principle of fonásban involves dividing the material into at least three sections and systematically crossing them over one another. The specific pattern of crossing determines the appearance and structure of the resulting braid.
