Plait is a general term for any type of braided hairstyle. This includes:
* French braid: The strands are woven under the middle strand.
* Dutch braid: The strands are woven over the middle strand.
* Fishtail braid: Two strands are divided and woven into a braid.
* Rope braid: Two strands are twisted together.
Dutch braid is a specific type of braid where the strands are woven over the middle strand, creating a raised, three-dimensional braid.
So, a Dutch braid is a type of plait, but not all plaits are Dutch braids.
