Braid question

Does anyone know how to go about making hair braids with mesh and textures.

I was wondering if going with a flat mesh would work for it?

The easiest way is simply make a flag band and apply a texture/material to it with a good normal map. If you want to do it the crazy expensive way, you could always create a few cylinders or boxes and have one face from each follow a path that was tediously braided
