Interwoven strands, braids (6)
I believe the answer is:
plaits
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'interwoven strands' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'braids' is the second definition.
(I know this)
(Other definitions for plaits that I've seen before include "Interwoven strands, braids" , "Ropes of hair" , "Interwoven strands, of hair perhaps" , "Weaves into braids" .)
