Samflétt

Samflétt is a term used to describe a specific type of braided hairstyle. The term itself originates from a blend of two words, likely combining elements that suggest "sameness" or "uniformity" with "braid" or "plait." This hairstyle typically involves dividing the hair into several sections and then interlacing them in a consistent and orderly manner. The resulting braid often exhibits a very neat and even appearance, differentiating it from more casual or freeform braiding techniques.

The exact style and appearance of a samflétt can vary depending on the number of strands used and the specific braiding pattern employed. However, the core characteristic remains the emphasis on uniformity and precision in the interlacing process. This can result in braids that are tightly woven and appear almost geometric in their structure. Samflétt can be applied to various hair lengths and textures, though its neat appearance is often most pronounced on hair that is relatively smooth and manageable. It is sometimes seen as a more formal or refined braided style due to its organized nature.
