A parting map plans the grid of sections before you braid. Braiders and people braiding their own hair use one to set the parts first. The nine pictures show the head from behind and from above, with parts drawn for box braids, cornrows and triangle parts. Type a different subject or twist, such as knotless braids, and the page asks for it in the same three styles.

  • planning box braid parts before you start
  • a cornrow guide from hairline to nape
  • a parting pattern to follow at home
  • a teaching sheet for a braiding class

Frequently asked questions

Can I print them?
Yes. They are drawn charts with labels, not photographs, so they print as reference sheets.
What does each parting pattern look like?
Box parts is a staggered grid of square parts with rows offset like bricks. Cornrow lines runs straight parts from the hairline to the nape. Triangle parts shows triangle-shaped parts in rows, each holding one braid.
What is the difference between the styles?
Line map uses single lines for the parts and simple outlined braids. Red parts draws every parting line in bold red over black outlines. Pencil drawing is graphite with each braid drawn strand by strand.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. Type a direction, such as knotless braids, and the page asks for that subject in the same three styles. It is a request, not a guaranteed result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
